Even the tabloids are sniffing out whatever they can make into fodder (not much)

Every 5 years Poland hosts the international Chopin competition and the country is following the whole thing — players, stages, predictions — like a sports event. It’s all very wholesome and in my family includes my grandmother taking pictures of the TV and WhatsApping them to her friends

My bizarre weekend in Gilmore Girls’ real-life Stars Hollow blurred the lines between reality and fiction When I was a teenager, I spent countless hours immersed in the life of a charming fictional town: Stars Hollow, Connecticut, the setting for the cult TV show Gilmore Girls.

Welp today I flew out of Poland right after Russian drones shut down the airspace to land in the US and immediately get a notification about Charlie Kirk. What a day to be a dual citizen

Collage of millennial images such as avocado toast, lattes, side parts, and skinny jeans. Big Tinder logo. Text overlay with callout same as in text of post

I’ve been informed that this cursed image is triggering to some — alas, I gotta do it! Did you date on EARLY Tinder, aka 2012-2015? I’m writing a history of online dating and looking for people who’d be willing to talk about their experiences. You can be anonymous! Bonus if you were still in college
