Really not enjoying the combination of “nobody has a job” and “everything is expensive now”

Give banana coffee a chance. How to make the viral (and delicious) Korean treat From Korean cafes to TikTok stardom, banana coffee is having a moment, and it’s blissfully easy to whip up at home

My first piece for the Guardian went up today!

(Yes banana coffee is as good as it sounds.)

i didn’t know the circus was open today

Older photo of Chole in a stylish tank, bare shoulders, knee-length denim dress, strappy sandals. Sunglasses. Walking on a city sidewalk.

Even the way Chloe was styled for this 2024 article is markedly different to the 50’s housewife vibe she’s got in the above photo. Still very rich white nepo baby coded but at the very least modern and not yet dripping with fashy tradwife vibes.

Even the photography speaks to that weird fashy nostalgia. The shallow, grainy depth of field in what could easily be a park or backyard, the slightly warm color grading. Compare to the way the editor of British Vogue (Chioma Nnadi) was styled and shot in 2024.

I hate this culture shift so hard, part: a lot.

i cannot overstate how extraordinary it is for federal civil servants to do this

“What if democrats responded meaningfully in this moment”

What if the world was made of pudding

Love a violent pixie nightmare girl. I mostly played hucksters bc I always default to being a magic user, but I loved how weird the magic system in deadlands was.

omg I was so obsessed with deadlands as a teen.

Conservatives getting mad that del Toro's FRANKENSTEIN is too critical of the doctor and too sympathetic to the monster is the kind of shit that doesn't even play as a joke. It's too stupid to laugh at.

@EVERYONE Bluesky is not your diary!

This is ADORABLE and so perfect

me: I know society has made progress in the last 50 years but it just feels like we’re sliding backwards and no one cares
my buddy, the gourmand whaler: the tenderest meat surrounds the blowhole

Friend of mine is increasingly concerned that a girl she’s been seeing is using AI to generate flirty things to say to her.

We live in the worst possible timeline

Dirty, lousy tramp representation 🙌

Tonight! If you've ever been called mommy by a stranger this is the place for you!

that’s right, even if you’re cis you have to pitch in

Took me a minute to realize this was not an architectural drawing of a suspension bridge

universe loading the bases for a walkoff grand slam

Be quiet my show is on

tying my hair back not to suck dick but rather to eat an entire rack of lloyd's ribs

The sexy Watto meme is proof that gen AI is dumb. First, it’s inherently funnier that a real artists took the time to draw sexy Watto. Second, gen AI could never come up with anything so haunting or execute it in such unhinged ways.

Almost like recusal being voluntary is a bad idea
