Just heard an ad for “BlueCruise” by @fordmotorsofficial.bsky.social Seems like “being more present in your vehicle and connected to the moments that truly matter” should mean *driving the damn car and focusing on the road*.

We canceled our Hulu. Good fucking riddance. #cancelhulu #canceldisney

"I am so confused" The U.S. economy right now, as best as I can explain it

"Finding someone who can explain US economics in such a clear, concise and comprehensible way is truly amazing. I needed this explanation in the worst way."

A section of the New York Times homepage in a mobile web browser, showing the headline “Trump Voters React to the U.S.'s Bombing of Nuclear Sites in Iran: We're checking in with this group on their impressions of the Trump administration and the Democratic response for the rest of the year.” Below that is pasted a composite photo of 6 of The Onion’s “American Voices” headshots.

Two woman stand next to each other and hold onto one another. The woman on the left is wearing a black dress. The woman on the right is smiling and wearing a white hijab, glasses, and a pink garment. In the background is the fence of an ICE detention center.

Today, our client Rümeysa Öztürk was released on bail from ICE detention in Louisiana, and she will return to New England to continue her studies.

YouTube video by Senator Chris Van Hollen Marco Rubio is disappearing people for exercising their First Amendment rights

Marco Rubio isn't doing a lot of foreign policy these days, but what he IS doing is disappearing people for voicing their First Amendment rights.

Secretary Rubio, why don't you stop lying and picking on college students and come testify before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee?

Drummer Clem Burke, the 'Heartbeat of Blondie,' Dead at 70 Clem Burke, the longtime drummer for Blondie who played a key role in the New Wave movement, has died at the age of 70.

I don't want this to be true. But it sadly is. A drummer's drummer and truly the heartbeat of Blondie. He was full of life. RiP Clem Burke.

@vox.com “Today, Explained” should stop dignifying Wednesday/April 2nd with Trump’s made-up term, “Liberation Day”. The more you say it, the more it becomes a real thing.

Wow, I can’t wait to dig into these!

This is the op-ed Rumeysa Ozturk co-wrote in 2024 criticizing the Tufts administration’s response to student demands for action regarding Gaza and Israel. It is unquestionably speech protected by the First Amendment.

Black and white photo of 12 people standing and chatting in front of Odd Bird shop in Richmond, Virginia at night. One person has just opened the front door and is walking in. The store is brightly lit from the inside.

Black and white photo of people in costumes walking and standing in West Marshall Street outside of Gallery 5 in Richmond, Virginia during the first Richmond Renaissance Faire. It’s night and the streetlights are on. In the center of the frame, a flashlight torch lights the face of a costumed person talking to others.

Color photo of people in costumes and everyday clothes walking and standing in West Marshall Street outside of Gallery 5 in Richmond, Virginia during the first Richmond Renaissance Faire. It’s night and the streetlights are on. A person in an ornate costume looks with a sly grin in the direction of the camera. The costume is an ornate, pointed hat adorned with gold and red accents, curly embellishments, and a twisted horn-like design. Their outfit consists of shaggy, fur-like material, and decorative armor pieces.

Black-and-white photo of people in costumes and everyday clothes walking and standing in the street in Jackson Ward during the first Richmond Renaissance Faire. It’s night and the streetlights are on, and the street is lined with brick buildings. Tents and market stalls are set up along the street, illuminated by string lights and street lamps.

Went to the first Richmond Renaissance Faire on Friday night. I have to thank @jennapark.bsky.social for a recent photo that shows her Fujifilm X100-series camera. Her images gave me the motivation to grab my X100T on the way out of the house!

This is exactly what I’ve been wanting for years!

every day I spend time thinking about how stupid and unnecessary all of this is and I hate it

I know I mostly post bad news, but I don’t want ppl to despair! If you feel strongly about sthng, CALL YOUR REPS/SENS, your Gov, your state reps.
You may think you shouldn’t bother either bc your reps are already on your side of the issue or bc they’re not, but there is evidence that calling WORKS

I've been writing a series of essays for PBS on men whose style I admire. The latest is about James Baldwin, a man who knew how to sing through clothes.
