Love when I remember that I can listen to Homecoming (Live Album) anytime I want.

Glad the Spotify>>Apple Music transfer is working now, but it seems most of the music I ever saved or downloaded somehow followed me from Windows Zune to Apple iTunes to Spotify, and now back to Apple.

Both delighted and frightened to see what survived the multiple migrations.

Damn I got a lot of feelings about shoe brands apparently lol

Or extend the men’s sizing options down again! I don’t want my only color options to be beige, white, black, or muted pastels 😭

Shoe brands need to stop making different color ways for their men’s and women’s sizes it’s so fucking corny

Why do so few sites offer that? The amount of shoes I loved but ultimately passed on because I couldn't be sure if I'd like how they look from my POV!

As someone who just spent several weeks shopping for a single pair of shoes online, I have a note for e-commerce shoe companies:

Please include a view of the shoes from above aka the wearer's POV. I'm buying them for myself, I need to see the silhouette from above.

The 14th Street Busway has been a smashing success: faster commutes, fewer crashes, calmer streets.

So why is Eric Adams blocking a similar plan for 34th Street?

We had a free period during religion class (catholic school). A movie was playing, everyone was chatting. It was the Monday after Three 6 Mafia won the Oscar for Best Original Song. I asked my friend, “Did you see Three 6 Mafia won an Oscar?” Teacher sent me to the dean.

One Florida thing I miss is taking a nap on a screened-in-porch during a storm.

No better sleep exists.

Brad Pitt Is Fooling You The F1 press tour has been a carefully attuned charm offensive meant to obscure Pitt’s alleged violent behavior toward ex-wife Angelina Jolie.

I wrote about how Brad Pitt has effectively albeit transparently used F1: The Movie and its press tour to rehabilitate his image, in order to obscure the violent allegations about abuse toward Angelina Jolie & his current estrangement from his six kids, @vulture.com. www.vulture.com/article/brad...

Not all the choices were bad, but most were!

Just remembered what a heap of dogshit TLOU season 2 was and got annoyed again

If you’re in line to say “The director of Mississippi Masala?!” STAY IN LINE!!!

On Friday night, we walked the length of Manhattan, from Inwood Hill to Battery Park.

New Yorkers deserve a Mayor they can see, hear, even yell at. The city is in the streets.

Also 😇 I want to add a couple of more interactions that make parsing the project pages easier, so if you have any advice on that (like how to add an anchored back-to-top button, for example) please DM!

I especially like the new card components, but still want to tweak the lazy-loading/animations.

Does anyone know the best way to group blocks on squarespace? I'm hoping to get all the elements in the card to animate in as one component instead of in pieces.

Finally gave my portfolio a much needed refresh! www.laurasaladin.com

Still smoothing out some of the elements, especially for mobile, but I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out. Just gotta keep working on my html/css skills...

I made you a playlist (or 2) Just in time for park picnics and long weekend road trips.

Shoutout to Mitski for being the little voice in my head telling me to leave the house clean and pretty in case I die in a plane crash

The pasta was very good.

Rigatoni with a smoky, spicy roasted eggplant sauce and ricotta (not pictured: arugula with anchovy dressing on the side)

Life may be net bad rn but at least the sun’s finally back out, flowers are blooming, and I’ve got pasta on the stove

In fact, reading it anywhere

Reading Orlando at the Park Slope Food Co-op is flagging actually

video games are an invaluable tool in teaching children to find and kill god

“You’ll be visited by three spirits.”

The three spirits:

I haven’t watched a bad movie since October but this particular streak is crazy

it almost feels too easy to think they don't get it; much scarier to consider what it means if they do
