Edward Gorey in the streets of NYC wearing a luxurious fur coat. It’s a b&w photo

My favorite image of Edward Gorey, an underrated fashion plate

It's just garbage, this discovery.

Menopause hive, I have terrible news: I experimentally gave up sugar for a week (cheated twice with homemade desserts) and my hot flashes dropped by like 90%

Why is it . . . sinking in the mire?

One of the most underrated horror movies of the 1980s!

I've seen a few posts from people claiming that an AI "agent" hung up on them b/c it concluded they were being rude - I don't think human agents are generally allowed to do that, which is . . . interesting.

I would be curious to know how it varies culturally! And I do think the norm has become catering to the rude rather than tossing them out, etc.

I think that's true, but I also think that "taking people's shit" has been built into customer-facing jobs for decades/centuries so that rude people tend to be treated as a natural phenomenon rather than an aberration.

"It's uncomfortable and scary! It's refreshing and welcoming!" I yell as strangely white sweat starts to drip into my eyeballs.

I witnessed someone being very nasty to a server last night & it got me thinking about the ways in which capitalism has created so many spaces for rude people to act out & get away with it rather than being punched in the face as god intended.

Turns Out There Was Voter Fraud in Georgia—by Elon Musk The state board of elections found Musk’s PAC sent prefilled ballot applications.

Trump has been terrorizing Georgia since November 2020 over his (totally baseless) claim of voter fraud. As it turns out, the PAC belonging to his sycophant, Elon Musk, sent out pre-filled absentee ballot applications to voters, in violation of Georgia law.

I loved Wuthering Heights & my hot take is: no one knows how to talk about a campy popcorn movie anymore because we've had to pretend that superhero movies are Art for so long.

It's almost like we should make vaccines mandatory rather than letting a bunch of idiots with oppositional defiant disorder "do their own research"

I'm going to watch Wuthering Heights tonight in one of those theaters that serves you dinner in the big WALL-E style adjustable lounge chairs and I cannot wait.

a BBC reporter just referred to tech bros as "tech brothers" and I'm like, no

the reason he wants to bomb iran is because its penis to bomb things and vagina to be against bombing things, i know its stupid but it really is that simple

Alas, I never really fleshed out this "concept"

I used to keep a notebook by my bed to record any ideas I had during the night but the only thing I ever wrote in it was "Keebler elves but evil"

contemplating, awestruck, the centuries-long geometry of material and historical processes necessary to create the conditions for me to have just sent a text asking “want to go to Margaritaville before Wuthering Heights”

Like I'm glad Trump got his hand slapped or whatever, but he still managed to extort millions from the American people for MONTHS & ran a bunch of small businesses into the ground, we need to remain angry about this.

Every news story is now “State Senator Randy Pervert (R-Springfield) was indicted on 8 counts of lewd behavior with a child under 12 and has been put on paid leave from his two jobs as Border Patrol liaison and youth pastor at First Presbyterian (PCA) where parishioners say they were ‘blindsided.’”

These things that happened today are the only things that have ever happened, you see.

I dunno, let's try it for a hundred years and circle back
