No, Gena, turn back! TURN BACK!

Wait.... why did I not know about the B&W version?! I have to check this out.

Purchased the most beautiful coupes from a place that had, I later discovered, racist dolls of “maids.”

Deal!!

Let the record show, I tried to show @kathylubey.bsky.social things I wanted to buy and I was told, “that’s great, I’m making a meme.” I guess it was worth it.

If they just called it something else, I'd have less of a problem with it. Why do they have to do tabbouleh dirty like this?

The continued love letter to movie theaters

Why Roger Ebert Wanted You to Go to the Movies “If the movie is a good one, you allow yourself to be absorbed in its fantasy, and its dreams become part of your memories.”

“On the screen in front of you,the movie image appears—enormous and overwhelming.If the movie is a good one,you allow yourself to be absorbed in its fantasy,and its dreams become part of your memories” https://www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/archive/2023/07/movie-going-experience-roger-ebert/674868/

Really one of my favorite things is seeing a movie early, theater to myself and the few others around.

Movies Are Best Before Noon In praise of starting the day with enjoyable things

“Many times, a movie before noon can be a guilty pleasure, like cake for breakfast. Other times, the clarity of the morning can lead to moments of genuine introspection through cinema.” https://www.theatlantic.com/culture/archive/2023/06/reasons-to-see-matinee-movie-theaters/674277/

Bluesky, why is my moka pot suddenly giving me rancid coffee? Sort of metallic in flavor. I've changed nothing in my technique. Cleaned with vinegar once, went through some cycles with water, three batches today to try to build up that oil that people mythologize about-- nothing but wasted coffee.

Okay—but who is going to try and make this this weekend and show us how bad it is? Not it!

Why is the whole wsj photo department suddenly on Bluesky?

The reason why I don't know what's happening on the internet anymore (yes, I'll probably post this everywhere):

Not all heroes wear capes ☠️

Part of me, in another dimension, would want to follow suit. Me? Here? Now? In this timeline? I applaud you both.

Pick a feed, any feed.

I’m on Threads now too because… 🤷

On so many social networks I no longer know what the conversation is. 🙏

Phew, okay, now I can post.

I think it did something nice uuup until its close. But yeah, nearly perfect season of TV there.

Is a run a run if Ludacris isn't there to cheer you to the finish line?

Formerly a blue-check, now on too many platforms at once.
