Is it me, or is Nicole Kidman in every single streaming show? Every single one.

I'm really curious as to how vaccines weaken war fighting capabilities but I guess I'm not a dumbass psychopath.

The fact that Elon and DOGE and Rubio and Trump and all of them do not care one iota not only makes my blood boil, it makes me terrified.

The Pitt Prides Itself on Accuracy. So How Did It Mess This Up? Dr. Robby’s season-finale scene with the baby is very touching. There’s just one problem.

so true. I was like, that's a terrible swaddling job, Dr. Robby! Like worse than terrible. Not even swaddling.

Men. Guns. Men and guns.

Dinner and dessert!

I wish Republicans cared about more than themselves.

a woman in a red dress says let 's rock in a showtime ad Alt: a woman in a red dress (Laura Dern as Diane) says let 's rock in a showtime ad for Twin Peaks.

Because it's playing each week at my local cinema, I'm finally rewatching Twin Peaks: The Return. It's so damn good. Dark and creepy and funny and also just beautiful. And so weird! Wonderfully weird. Masterful! If there's an afterlife, I hope I end up where David Lynch is.

I just can't imagine anything else was expected of these fools.

I'll never recover

He really does think he knows everything and his only source of "education" is Fox News and, I guess, what he just decided he knows. Because he reckons he's a genius.

The influencer who took down a politician A conversation with Arielle Fodor - aka Mrs. Frazzled

In my personal newsletter this week: A convo with @mrs-frazzled.bsky.social about her strategy & experience in bringing down Eric Swalwell, plus some initial thoughts on the role content creators play in politics right now. amandalitman.substack.com/p/the-influe...

I think they felt finished with her story. She's going to be moving on so there's not another story to tell for her.

The sun is finally out in Duluth and it feels like a goddamn miracle. Also, why am I experiencing such disappointment with Trudeau for dating Katy Perry?

Why, men, why? the fucking entitlement. the fucking egos.

I really, really, really enjoy reading Emma Straub's newsletter. She is my people. And so now I'm going to have to read all of her books. And visit her bookstore. And non creepily pretend I'm in her life.

we just really don't know much and I'd like us to act with that humility more often

I love Survivor. I love Rick Devens. I even love Coach. #Survivor50

Remember when Howard Dean made a mildly weird excited yell during a campaign speech and that was that? Meanwhile, Republicans get to be rapists and pedophiles and plagiarists and commit white collar crime and take home roadkill penises and steal from their charities and insult the pope and

I will now picture that person as a giant mouse.

The person in the flat above my daughter's has a rowing machine that they use about 30 times a day for approximately two minutes each time. Who is this person? What is their life?

I can't believe (and yet I also can) how they are openly complaining about teen birth rates falling. Katie Miller who went to college, has a career, and is not a stay at home mom. Can someone ask Katie Miller how many nannies she has for her 4 children? And how much disposable income they have?

New York magazine subscription page

Once upon a time I had a subscription to NY Mag (and all its little publications). Then I canceled it. Later, I decided I wanted resubscribe. But I cannot! I don't know what I'm missing but I always land back on this page with no progress having been made. Subscription purgatory.

And doesn't this all related to morality, anyway? The morality if bombing schools? The morality of killing? How we treat people? Do we help them or do we actively hurt them? JD Vance has no real convictions. He just thought "converting" would make him look good.

You go, Greta Thunberg!

The last 15 minutes of my drive to Duluth today was the foggiest fog I've ever fogged. Do not recommend.

Can men get divorced if they want to, though? Since Hegseth cheated and divorced. Trump too? I'm guessing so.
