Now that is the shenanigans I was hoping for tonight. LOL!

I figured Hudson would show up, but it was really such a joy to see it. In a very dumb skit, but I knew this wasn't gonna be great.

I knew the guys would show up. Megan & Hilary were a surprise. And FABULOUS surprise.

zero redemption is what they deserve.

OK, that monologue was good. Good digs at the guys.

Stayed home today and deciding to watch "Come See M in the Good Light" so let's go... got popcorn & tissues.

A must read analysis of the sh1t show that is the US men's hockey debacle.

The coffee shop is playing Norah Jones and omg, why don't I listen to her more often? Every time I hear her voice it is a balm to my soul.

One of the things I love about Gen Z is how they take all the little millennial snark sayings seriously. We said β€œhang it in the louvre” for two decades and they said β€œbet”

The Ugly Underbelly of the US Hockey Victory The real Olympic heroes were the athletes who stood up for each otherβ€”and against Trump.

My latest piece @thenation.com written with @julesboykoff.bsky.social: There was something rotten lurking beneath the US men's gold medal hockey win and not just because they partied with Kash Patel.

Peace, Love, & Cry Baby Crying is the worst.

Fresh edition of my newsletter. Read why I hate crying & I really hate that it is my biggest menopause symptom.

They have to get back to their jobs & families. Also they know they aren't welcomed. Bravo, champs.

Cause the women play with full masks. The men could avoid losing teeth but that might look weak.

Caught up with @sarahspain.com & busted out laughing that she asked Sophia Kirky about the pasta. Such a Sarah question to ask. Why I listen every day.

Lists are meant to provoke, and power doesn't equal goodness. With that said, an explicit fascist with negligible reach in Chicago inches away from an elected Black woman labor leader; one gets a cute lil' photo and the other gets a jarring, racist caricature (and called a troll). These are choices.

Levito was sweet. Glenn was great, even if it wasn't as great as she wanted. πŸ’”

It's called "venue feed." Just found it for the current skaters.

It was an option earlier. That feed just ended & now I'm back w commentators.

Highly recommend watching figure skating via the venue feed. No commentators. Just music and the beauty and joy of someone living their dream.

I need someone to slide a Xena soundtrack into the hands of a figure skater so I can watch them skate to Joseph LoDuca's masterpiece.

So many of us have stories about seeing or meeting him. It's been a lovely morning reading how he touched so many of our lives.

Rev. Jesse Jackson, a symbol of Black politics and Black America, dies at 84 Jackson may have been the most recognizable civil rights icon the past half century, but his journey always led him right back to the South Side of Chicago.

Ammie Kessem, a Chicago cop w/ a long record of homophobia, harassment, bonkers lawsuits & boosting hate groups, is running for Cook County Board (9th). Take a minute to reach out to friends & family in that district to make sure they know approximately how awful she is. (Details & links to follow)
