Analysis Suggests School Was Hit Amid U.S. Strikes on Iranian Naval Base

Lots of Americans have been in denial about this school bombing in Iran. Here, confirmed by The NY Times. It was the US who killed those babies. 175+ people, most of them little kids, dead. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/05/w...

Here’s a little movie theater detective game for fellow NYC cinephiles. (My pal @dordotson.bsky.social is investigating over at the other place too.) Please read all screenshots before suggesting names.

So…do you know what theater this is?

Weird, right? Felt the same seeing that Serena Williams ad. I’m sure losing weight was right for her, she knows best about herself, but how does that help anyone? It should be obvious that health should drive any kind of weight management messaging but we seem to have completely abandoned it.

How did our culture go from celebrating body positivity to aggressively-marketed weight loss pills & jabs this fast? Swear, I got *zero* judgment about anyone’s choicesβ€”everyone knows their own self/body best & should do what makes them healthy & happy. Just wish we weren’t bombarded by these ads.

Will forever laugh at the voice-to-text transcription, Abbas Curious Tommy. (It should have been, my friends, Abbas Kiarostami.)

Think my issue with the dress is how ordinary it looks. Like a pricier version of something you can find at an average dept store. Then again, when you’re on the circuit constantly with a zillion different looks, I sorta sympathize with the instinct to go comfy & unfussy right before the Oscars.

I’ve had a couple of professional make-up sessions in the past year. And for both I showed a photo of Rose Byrne: I WANT EXACTLY THIS. Genuinely annoying how I ended up not looking like her, but looking like me. 😭

It’s the worst place to be for a freelancer, but I’ve truly hit a pitching fatigue. You never hear back. And when you do, it’s either a no or it’s too late or it would have been a yes but there is no money (so, it’s a no). Freelancing used to be a dialogue with editors. Now, it’s being ghosted.

Rewatched some Harrison Ford films after SAG; I’m crazy about this man’s smile more than most Hollywood legends. Sexy, cheeky, but casual too…like it just dropped by his face & curled around his lips to say a quick hello & you were lucky enough to catch it. Impossible not to fall for. β™₯️πŸ”₯

Look I know this is hardly the most important thing, but whenever I read ANY email published from the Epstein files, I get horrified all over again that many of these rich assholes genuinely suck at basics like spelling, grammar, and punctuation…

Andre Is An Idiot review: Irreverent biodoc urges you to get your colon checked It might just save some lives.

I first saw ANDRÉ IS AN IDIOT at Sundance 2025 and liked it. Two months later, my own father was diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer. Upon rewatch this doc revealed itself to be something much richer than its humorous approach would suggest.

My four star review for @ebertvoices.bsky.social:

Don’t care if they’re safe; you will never convince me to take one of those driverless cars. I’d rather be with a human driver & scold them if they are distracted on their phone. No thanks.

I get not having to deal with some male drivers is a good option for women. But UGHHHH.

is life just a series of days where you're tired in the afternoon and wide awake at night, running behind on weekly deadlines, and seeing pants get slim and big and then slim again over the years until you die?

I regret to inform you that I saw the video of Trump pivoting to talking about gold curtains during A PRESS CONFERENCE ON IRAN. He was rambling, people were laughing…

When, when will the day come?…

There were active alternate side parking days in between the two snow storms where cleaners should’ve come. They didn’t bother. But guess what? The city ticketed the cars that did not move regardless. So citizens have to fulfill their part of the contract, but the city does not? Got it.

Here’s what it feels like to walk on a relatively cleaner stretch of my NYC block, where street cleaners haven’t been to in about 2 months. Nowhere in NYC am I seeing this much loose trash. Uptown residents deserve better than this.

Shut up and go away, you stupid misogynist ghoul. They are only vaguely reporting second-hand info. It hasn’t made the major headlines anywhere, and there are no confirmed numbers. All headlines read β€œβ€¦Iran says.” Just shut the hell up.

Okay, now let’s go back to talking about the most important story. Wondering if ANYONE from Western media is thinking of doing real journalism at any point & confirming the death toll of the Iranian elementary school massacre. Or are they going to just keep ignoring it?

It’s easy to grasp why almost everyone the camera captured was in tears during Harrison Ford’s MAGNIFICENT acceptance speech. Many of them grew up watching Indiana Jones & Han Solo. It must be significant, indescribable, humbling to be in the same room with a legend as his peer. #ActorAwards

We are going to liberate Iran from their oppressive regime by….bombing an all-girls elementary school & murdering dozens of little kids. Got it?
