A lit up green glow gnome in a Jamaica Plain shop window.

Took this photo of a #Glow Gnome 20 years ago when I was walking home from the Chinese Lantern Festival at Jamaica Pond in Jamaica Plain, Boston. Isn't he cute? #BlueSkyArtShow

Boy this does not seem at all good. www.dailytarheel.com/article/26e4...

Who's listening to Geese and Cameron Winters as much as me?

I don’t think TikTok did it. It was just some guys.

Maybe. I dunno. I’m usually sending them to friends who are very interested in the topic I’m sharing about. But it’s a nice tool. I like it. I’m going to be using it. And if someone on here sees that it exists and uses it, then that’s cool.

Burden? S - E - E. Just saying that sometimes they really want to see, but they don't want to download & participate in yet another very addictive platform. Honestly, I try and add the S-E-E myself before I send it, but then I sort of need to remember which friends have TikTok and which ones don't.

See TikTok — Watch videos without the app Paste any TikTok link and watch it instantly in your browser — no app, no login, less tracking.

If someone sends you a TikTok, but you don't have an account on TikTok, add "see" just before the URL, and you'll be able to view it. That way, your friend doesn't have to download the whole video and then text it to you. See? TikTok people and non-TikTok people can get along. 🕉️🧘

Posting again because I misspelled #Blueskyartshow #relax #feetforjames

I thought I’d set it as a keystroke shortcut, but clearly not.

Oooooooh!

Wait what?!

OK, I need to talk to Richard Linklater. Before Sunrise came out in 1995. Before Sunset came out in 2004. Before Midnight came out in 2022. I have come to expect a new Before film every 9 years. He is 3 years late. I understand there was a pandemic, but he needs to get it together.

😂

I’m so sad I was too late. 😭

Agree. And Coates handles him PERFECTLY. I really recommend listening.

YouTube video by The Ezra Klein Show Ta-Nehisi Coates and Ezra Klein Hash Out Their Charlie Kirk Disagreement

Ezra Klein had been really disappointing as of late. This is a great listen. Ta-Nehisi Coates is so good. Props to Klein for having this conversation at all. Although I could do with him using the words “we” and “us” far far less.

Enjoyable TikTok deep dive for a grey morning: People in Germany are gathering to eat pudding with forks in parks. The videos are hilarious. Search “pudding mit gabel.”

2026. And the tariffs came up so fast that there isn’t time to buy it all right now and store it until then. Unless I did it TODAY.

What? That's amazing!

Spent a LOT of time planning an affordable IKEA kitchen. We've decided we will never be able to afford the bigger house remodel we've wanted, so we downsized our plan to the max for affordability. And now a kitchen cabinet tariff? It's know it's hardly the worst problem happening, but still... ugh!

Given my job, I should be screaming about the Autism misinformation today, but honestly, it’s just so obvious and exhausting.

OK remake The Summer I Turned Pretty, but this time, Chris Briney never gets bronzer, blush, or fluffy bangs across his face.

this charlie kirk deification is some of the weirdest shit i have ever seen

Disney+ cancellation page crashes as customers rush to quit after Kimmel suspension Disney faces a wave of cancellations after pulling Jimmy Kimmel Live!, with subscribers reporting that the Disney+ cancellation page keeps crashing.

I was thinking about this. I was already boycotting Disney because of Gaza, and I’ve seen a bunch of people annoyed at people being pissed about this and not other things. But it’s also very very bad. So if this is what gets people slightly more awake, I’m ok with that.

Saaaame.
