Finally: the response by @mollyjongfast.bsky.social to a bizarre rapper reference from @arimelber.bsky.social is always “just say yes.”

In this manuscript, I’m truly trying to pierce the veil between life and death. Since I’m not that talented, I’m gonna re-watch Sinners.

Or, like, oh yeah, we entered a war without telling you and you should probably get out of the country. Good luck with that.

We Found Heavy Metals and VOCs in CR's Follow-Up Braiding Hair Investigation - Consumer Reports For our second evaluation of braiding hair, CR tested 30 human and synthetic hair products to determine if there are less toxic products on the market.

Please share widely, #Blacksky! This is very, very scary.

This isn't just about conflicts of interest and whether or not she'll be profiting in office.

It's about her having a clear record of endorsing faulty products in exchange for compensation. It's about her being completely unworthy of an office that requires public trust.

The cover of THE FACE featuring a sculpture of a face on its side against a blue background.

Happy #PubDay to @fayboundalberti.bsky.social! THE FACE is a brilliant, wide-ranging look at how we interpret faces—and what those interpretations say about us. I didn’t even know about face blindness until reading this. You’ll never look at first impressions the same way. shorturl.at/3AbAG

Yes, studies have begun, I believe, on these meds and addiction. It almost eliminated 24/7 food noise for me, which is a miracle.

That’s insulting to finishing schools, Kevin. Even most of them understand their students need to anticipate and learn about “cultural differences.” UT isn’t even pretending anymore.
