It's 10 years since Prince died. A favorite concert memory is seeing him at The Forum here in Los Angeles. Halle Berry was in the audience. He had her come up on stage. He started playing a song, and said into the mic: "Dance, Halle Berry." And then she did.
Well, now we are lovers. Time to braise.
Alonso: "What's that song that goes 'Ooh ahh, just a little bit?"
Me: It's called "Ooh Ahh Just a Little Bit."
He married me for my archive of Gina G facts.
I’m proud to support @maximumfilmpodcast.bsky.social because it was my dream to meet @dreaclark.bsky.social and when I did, she scolded me for not wearing sun block. And that’s when I knew I would be a fan of this show until I crumble to ash. #maxfundrive @maximumfun.org

Got my copy of the new Wayne Koestenbaum book. Just arrived. He's one of my favorite writers so I already know it's good. There are two cover designs and I chose the classy one.
I will now return to saying things that only two dozen people hit the heart button for. Read SLUGGISH I write it.

Did UK musical Christmas Karma deserve its terrible reviews? We dig in on this week's Deck the Hallmark. #filmsky 📽️ @deckthehallmark.bsky.social
Highlight of my week: got to tell a rep from a huge corporation that they should be broken up, nationalized, and turned into a public utility. I got to say it directly to them, in front of other people. These opportunities don't come along often but they are enjoyable and momentarily satisfying.

rory has to knock quietly or mrs kim will hear and lane will get busted for listening to the velvet underground so everyone knows you do a delicate little tap on the door's gentle zone (everyone does not know this i just made it up but still she had to knock quietly that's the real takeaway)
I was going to write today, but until we know more, I don't have any new words for this moment. What I will say is that if you are reeling, and you know you want to be part of making things better, Mariame Kaba and I wrote a book for you. I hope it helps.
From my second floor kitchen window view of the street below: a young person getting into the passenger seat of a car about to be driven by their friend. The passenger seat person holds a fully decorated birthday cake on a plate, no protection, no cake carrier. Good luck have fun don't take Fairfax.
Just ate tabouli. Every single time I do this my tongue feels crazy, like some ingredient is not agreeing with my mouth. But that feeling passes and my tongue resumes normal sensation. If I'm allergic to an ingredient I don't care because when it's over I still had the pleasure of eating tabouli.
Finally saw SIRAT today at the arthouse up the street and ten minutes in I was like, "Excuse me, Mr. DJ, Sir, I realize that your vibe today is all Raster-Noton deep despair and you're No Requests, but might you have any Ralphi Rosario?"

The dementia-ravaged president is increasingly spewing nonsense and acting erratically, with dangerous consequences for the entire world and it seems like that really should be all we're talking about.
Did Alain Guiraudie go to Lazy Bear?
this is killing me so bad...
He's working.

target says the target boycott is over lol
weirdly, the graphic didn't show up in the last post. here it is.
one thing having a cold is good for is lying around watching a bunch of nominated films you haven't seen yet
I propose that rather than the Oscars, Best Picture is chosen by honoring whichever movie ZaSu boops with her nose
Presently staring off into the middle distance in contemplative silence, haunted by the incongruity of the lyric in “It Takes Two” in which Rob Base says he stands alone, and doesn’t need anyone.
THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!
