M.J.C.

It is the PERFECT fall day in Minneapolis! Cold yet crisp air, gloomy, foggy, and trees of every color with some leaves on the ground!

The difference in sound quality between the AirPods Pro 2 and 3 is insane. I didn’t think it’d be so noticeable!

Imagine being so miserable that you actively go out of your way to belittle people who are excited about ANY musician’s new era.

Not mad at all about the rumors that Jack Antonoff won’t play any part in The Life of a Showgirl. Taylor and Jack created so much magic, but it’s time Taylor tries something else. I can’t wait for the new album!

Hearing my five-year-old niece and seven-year-old nephew plead with their parents to play Gaga’s song Bloody Mary warms my gay uncle heart.

This summer in Minnesota we have had only three different weather conditions: Extremely hot, damaging storms, or horrible air quality. There has been no in between.

How are some of y’all always, like, ALWAYS, drinking?

I hate to break it to everyone, but I do, in fact, rewatch the videos I take at concerts. Quite frequently.

I don’t mind pictures, but I feel like 87% of my feed is nature pictures. Can my algorithm at least mix in some city pictures or something?

My very first work trip is to NYC for Pride! I’m so pumped!

Too many books? I think what you mean is not enough bookshelves.

My mind is absolutely blown by how cheap everything in Vietnam is. 20 minute Uber? $1.

Never thought I’d see the day where I’m waiting for the gym doors to open at 6AM.

Me: I am extremely stressed and overwhelmed!
Also me: More coffee will help!

Does anyone else violently procrastinate until there’s a mountain of work to do and then just have an absolutely unhinged, manic day of working where they hammer out tasks? Or is that just me?

Housewives journey update:
RHONY: Done.
RHOC: Done.
Potomac: Up next!

I have spent my entire day obsessing over Gaga’s Rio concert. It’s just so iconic I cannot get over it.

Lady Gaga on her set balcony with the Brazilian flag.

Near birds-eye view of Lady Gaga’s Copacabana Beach crowd.

Lady Gaga breaks the record for the biggest standalone concert in history.

Her free Copacabana Beach show drew in 2.1 MILLION attendees, according to the City Hall of Rio de Janeiro.

The videos from Gaga’s record-shattering performance in Brazil are giving me major goosebumps. The crowd’s energy is absolutely electrifying and you can tell Gaga loved every second of it!

Bluesky is collegial and interesting, the way Twitter used to be. Bonus: most people can spell.

LinkedIn is by far the most annoying and pretentious social platform.

Also,

Writing.

Everything.

Like.

This.

Doesn’t make it more impactful.

when he sends citizens to foreign concentration camps, it’s no longer a slide to authoritarianism—it’s full blown fascism! 😔 this is not an administration, it’s a criminal regime in a hostile takeover of 🇺🇸 democracy. #FightFascism #TraitorTrump #DefendLiberty 🔔

Day two of thinking about nothing except Gaga’s Coachella set.

Original 1925 jacket cover of The Great Gatsby The Great Gatsby Here is a novel, glamorous, ironical, compassionate a marvellous fusion into unity of the curious incongruities of the life of the period which reveals a hero like no other one who could live at no other time and in no other place. But he will live as a character, we surmise, as long as the memory of any reader lasts. "There was something gorgeous about him, some heightened sensitivity to the promises of life. .. It was an extraordinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness such as I have never found in any other person and which it is not likely I shall ever find again?" It is the story of this Jay Gatsby who came so mysteriously to West Egg, of his sumptuous er-tertainments, and of his love for Daisy Buchanan a story that ranges from pure lyrical beauty to sheer brutal realism, and is infused with a sense of the strangeness of human circumstance in a heedless universe. It is a magical, living book, blended of irony, romance, and mysticism. CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS The GREAT GATSBY FITZGERALD

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.

-FS Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, published 4/10/1925.

I think the gayest thing I’ve ever said is, “I wish I didn’t have brunch at 10:30 Saturday morning so I could wake up at 1:00AM instead to watch Gaga’s Coachella set.”

Thank GOD we finally have SOME new about The Morning Show!

It always boggles my mind that I, a journalist, am expressly forbidden from trading stocks, but members of Congress, with vastly greater knowledge of market-moving news, are allowed to profit by front-running markets, and so may profit by in essence stealing from the public they represent.

OFFICIALLY GOING TO SEE THE MAYHEM BALL AT THE ICONIC MADISON SQUARE GARDEN!!!!!

Miley’s new music is sooooooo bad.

Maybe I’m late to the game, but I just realized police shows are for Conservatives and medical shows are for Liberals.
