Chatterton is a beneficiary of what I call placeholder writing. Folks like Nikole Hannah-Jones & Ta-Nehisi earned a following & then started talking about reparations & the 1619 project. And those pieces were popular, shifting the conversation in their favor. 1/

"Hogan is as anti-union as you can get. There still is not a union in professional wrestling.... I tried to do it, and it was Hulk Hogan who ratted me out to Vince McMahon, and subsequently I was fired and lost my job."

By like a couple months right?

a photo grid of dolls with protest t-shirts and signs.

I need everyone on Normal People internet to know that American Girl Doll Instagram is doing doll protests today. There are tiny t-shirts and signs. AND THEN I realized it's a joint protest with the Barbie ppl, where there are EVEN TINIER SIGNS.

We'll get there

Seeing images of protesters pushing back against federal agents in NYC and LA as tear gas fills the air alongside clips of tanks/military vehicles are being rolling into DC by train (presumably for the upcoming parade) is…quite something.

Cheers Lonni!

Marked safe from the 89th Texas Legislature today. (Mimicking posts you would see on Facebook after a natural disaster.)

Happy sine die to all who celebrate 🥴 This #TxLege has ended.

What finally ended my LUV affair with Southwest Airlines Thanks to investors at Elliott Investment Management, the Southwest Airlines of today is just as soulless as its competitors.

All airlines are shitty. But Southwest Airlines, for a time, was the least shitty, and I liked it for that. Then, private equity ruined it, like it ruins everything else.

Also, I've come around in peak collars with a single breasted jacket but I just can't abide notch collars on a double breasted jacket. 3.5/5. Sorry. Cute little wink though in the video

No tails

Oh wait does he have tails? I've never heard of tails without white tie but I'm open to the idea

The jacket's too short, like he's Dwight Eisenhower or something
