that they have kept their relationship intensely private to the point that this is how we find out is probably the best sign they might actually make it

anyway, rules are rules, here is the exact moment she fell in love

‘SINNERS’ has won Best Cast Ensemble at The Actor Awards.

What’s wild is while I was offline for most of the day, a guy in a documentary I watched, an American and ex policy/intelligence guy said and I paraphrase here, “History matters to the rest of the world while Americans treat it like a pejorative.” And seeing some posts now and just wow.

There’s a pretty robust case to make that the Iran Hostage crisis of 1979, the revolution itself, and the policies of the Iranian government towards the US
since, was all blowback from the CIA’s decision to overthrow Mossadegh in 1953. www.cnn.com/2013/08/19/p...

For even more context, check out the 2022 HBO doc Hostages or read in the New Yorker archives, Ryszard Kapuscinski’s Shah of Shahs book excerpt.

DRIED CHERRIES! That's what set me off before the butchered pronunciations.

!!! That’s a deep and nuanced cut and i wish all the nonBrooklyn folk understanding on a soul level of its truth

The person who posted this video is an embodiment of a kind of american whiteness that embarrassingly flaunts ignorance. The pronunciations and the smug mocking. Never been inside a Sahadis or Penzeys and singular familiarity with iodized salt.

I’ll add that I had to do some social media triage or triangulation to understand the Morrison discussion yesterday AM to figure out it was partially triggered by a podcast. I searched this platform then went to threads then IG.

Elite Doctors Served Jeffrey Epstein While Treating His ‘Girls’

Just wanted to make sure this wasn't lost.

The connection between Epstein, the Dubins, and Mount Sinai Hospital.

Vile stuff.

Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isn’t living in a bubble. I don’t need to know what’s going on at X. I won’t be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.

If only people put the energy into making Bluesky a better place for culture that they put into writing holier than thou replies about Meta products and their users lol

Jayme Lawson from Sinners hit the nail on the head and said how I felt with the whole BAFTAs situation.

I can SMELL this book cover. @minjinlee.bsky.social (American Hagwon) coming out in September 2026.

This review is required reading as is the book being reviewed!

A Heartbreaking Work of Swaggering Genius Namwali Serpell’s study of Toni Morrison – Omari Weekes

My latest review for @bookforum.bsky.social is also out now. In it, I think alongside Namwali Serpell’s resplendently rigorous new book on Toni Morrison about the last greatest living writer’s legacy and how we’re meant to read her.

Like. Talk about flattening...

Ok. So. I listened to the Cannonball podcast convo on Toni Morrison and it was just as dissatisfying as the podcast debrief on Bad Bunny's Super Bowl performance and I think the common denominator in how dissatisfying those convos were is Sasha Weiss' milquetoast contributions.

Well well well

Same. Yup.

there hasn’t been a single day since February 8 when this hasn’t run through my head at least once.

he really was not there to play with us.

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done

- started a war in the middle east
- completely destroyed the economy

ICE surge in western Wisconsin echoes trauma, intimidation of Twin Cities Volunteers have raised money to pay rent, coordinated rides to school for children and donated groceries and household supplies.

Community defense is different here. Scary. Lonely. There's (some) safety in numbers, and they're hard to come by in our red exurban and rural communities.

We're standing up anyway.

So, today's front page print headline seemed quite fitting:
Emotion, defiance as ICE roams western WI

FUCK ICE.

The Board of Peace has wasted no time starting its first war.

Or, as it turns out, a few days.
