Claudette Colvin was born #OTD in 1939. She was 15 years old when she refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery, #Alabama, bus for a white person, nine months before Rosa Parks famously inspired the Montgomery bus boycott for the same reason. #TheMarchContinues

I really hope that, somewhere, there is a Taylor Swift fan club for queer men called “Wild-Eyed Gays.” And then they’d all go to a show, and during “All Too Well” they’ll go nuts when she calls them out.

The only problem with Lanterns is that while I’m watching it I’m just sad that the episode is going to end and I’ll have to wait another week…

Today in “Why my 13-year-old is mad at me,” I told her that if she overstretched a hair tie and ruined its elasticity, so it would fit on her wrist, it would cease to work as a hair tie. “This is why you don’t see people using random pieces of string as hair ties.”

“Chicanery” is a word that always gives me pause, because it just FEELS like it has a problematic origin, but as far as I’ve ever found it doesn’t. But it feels very akin to the various anti-Jewish and anti-Roma terms we have for ripping people off.

“San Jose is not a hockey town” is such a bizarre, insulting note to strike at the end of this story. Thanks in no small part to women playing, coaching, cheering for and supporting hockey for the last almost 40 years, San Jose is ABSOLUTELY a hockey town.

Just got back from watching 'MANDALORIAN & GROGU' and it was a lot of fun. Don't let the haters sway you, this is a great pulpy adventure story with great action and a KILLER score that permeates every moment of the film. See it in theaters. This is the way. 😎

There are so many absolute chud YouTubers who will read something like this and go off on “how far Star Wars has strayed from Lucas’ vision,” despite this being an exact description of the thing George Lucas thought Star Wars should be… Seeing it in an hour, so damn excited…

It cannot be said enough how much Ticketmaster has ruined live music. Major pop acts are just not accessible to fans without being price gouged anymore. Tried to get my kid Katseye tickets, it sold out within 4 minutes, and you know it’s all resellers.

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.
