My wife is unflappable after 13 years together. She barely noted as I cut the top crust off my chicken pot pie and set it aside. She didn't raise an eyebrow as I spooned out the chunks of chicken and gave them to her. She huffed a bit as I explained that the chicken is my least favorite part.

Oh, this country. 上梁不正下梁歪.

Saw this little guy hanging in a gorgeous hibiscus plant during my recent vacation. Wife was shocked by my interest as I was afraid of snakes when she met me 13 years ago. But thanks to adorable & educational reels from snake keepers, I’m quite fond of them now.

Wife and I watched V for Vendetta again yesterday. Seems relevant, ya know.

Clearly this is not about making DC, or any of us, safer.

KPop Demon Hunters was a really fun movie!

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

I really do think this might be the worst Supreme Court of all time, which is saying something for an institution that coexisted with slavery

These motherfuckers are even worse imo bc they are *also* out here using antebellum reasoning and pursuing antebellum goals but well post bellum!

This is an assault on the Reconstruction Amendments by a Neo-Confederate Court wedded to the far-right argument that those amendments were illegitimate and destroyed the original intent of the Founders, which was to create a white man's country

Justice Sotomayor dissenting on birthright citizenship case: "The gamesmanship in this request is apparent and the Government makes no attempt to hide it. Yet, shamefully, this Court plays along. Because I will not be complicit in so grave an attack on our system of law, I dissent."

Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown Iran S04 E06 Dailymotion video by L3arnTV

If you’re an American should watch the Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown ep on Iran. A deeply humanizing look at a country full of people just like you and me. I watched it after Anthony died and it moved in ways that are hard to relay. I also immediately ran out to try kabob koobideh and tahdig.

Take note.

The American people were lied to about Vietnam, with tragic consequences.

The American people were lied to about Iraq, with tragic consequences.

The American people are being lied to again today. We cannot allow history to repeat itself.

I loved this so, so much!

We are always looking forward to it. 🥲

Why are sneezes so infuriating? They triple the flare pain. Every. Time. #fibromyalgia

So… does Iran have a right to defend itself?

We need details on this.

Marketing measurement often fails because teams don’t communicate.

On this week’s AdExchanger Talks🎙️, behavioral economist Julian Runge explains why you need leadership buy-in — and a culture of experimentation — to make it work.

I am numb and heartbroken, especially for Tyre Nichols’ family today.

Tyre Nichols was a father.
Tyre Nichols was a creative.
Tyre Nichols’ life mattered.
Tyre Nichols should still be alive.

Here’s how he described himself ⬇️

“Sinners” Is a Virtuosic Fusion of Historical Realism and Horror Ryan Coogler’s vampire movie mines vampirism’s symbolic potential to tell a tale of exploitation and Black music in nineteen-thirties Mississippi.

Until vampires show up in “Sinners,” the film plays as a work of minutely observed historical fiction and “develops a richly delineated dramatic ethnography of Black life in the age of Jim Crow,” tnyfrontrow.bsky.social writes.

If you were curious about how Ryan Coogler and his team constructed that musical sequence in Sinners, here’s a clip of him explaining it.

Same. I cried, though, haha, but now I need to see it again to digest.
