Watching #WWHL and idly wondering who had to explain to Mary who Ricki Lake is, because you know someone had to.

Tbf it also exists to subject men to ritualized abuse in order to irreparably bond them to each other so that they won’t blow the whistle on all the raping

This apartment discussion on #RHONY is so NY and I love it. Other franchise Housewives are insulted at the suggestion they have a mortgage, but in NY it's an argument over rent control vs amenities (and there's no right/wrong answer, it's all personal preference/priorities).

SQUARE PEGS debuted on CBS #OTD in 1982. Sarah Jessica Parker and Amy Linker starred in this totally rad 1980s relic from creator Anne Beatts. All episodes are on Tubi. One size does not fit all! #TVSky

I don't love dunking on folks but it's so fucking funny to me that Trump was convicted of 34 felonies 2 years ago, faced no punishment, and went on to win the presidency a second time and journalists are still like, "hmm, I have an inkling that maybe he believes he's above the law for some reason."
Post from NYT reporter Eric Lipton 

"What an odd moment in United States history.

A U.S. president is running an overtly political campaign advertisement, right before midterm elections, paid for by the U.S. government.

Trump appears to believe he is immune from any kind of legal limit."

"china is charging their cars in less time than it takes you to fill up your F-150" is the kind of banal jingoism i always assumed would get us finally kicking it up a notch on serious infrastructure buildout but we were a lot more directly addicted to gasoline in addition to racism than i thought

A hidden list of 100 abusers in Silicon Valley. Left unstated: some are abusing *men* Sam Altman used to date Peter Thiel, known for recruiting young men for sex (one died of suicide). Sam's sex parties are notorious for how hard they go, and the abuse. Three sources told me about this:

Silicon Valley ‘sex assault list’ with ‘over 100 ‘ names circulated, warning female tech workers of predators to avoid
“Some of them were very prominent names, you know? People who were famous investors. Businessmen who were in the scene”

<<cackles darkly>> How much of this tech bro shit is driven by the disappearance of female secretaries, who, let's be honest, kept a lot of companies running, and ability of wives to now say "No, time, honey, got a board meeting then school pickup, you gotta make the res for your mom's bday."

Blood boys OVER we’re out here Renfieldmaxxing now
He’s on a quest to live forever.
Mr. Emanuel’s morning routine involves waking up at 4 a.m., stretching for 40 minutes and then doing breath work, sauna, meditation, an ice plunge and infrared light therapy before ingesting a protein shake and a cup of live worms to fight off “the bad bacteria in my gut.” He describes a recent lunch with his old CAA boss, Michael Ovitz. Mr. Emanuel writes: “He goes to the gym; he thinks that means he’s taking care of himself. But it doesn’t. I scold him. He hasn’t gotten his blood work done in years, he isn’t doing ice plunges, he isn’t doing daily breath work, he isn’t fasting. And he needs to be eating worms.”

I want to draw attention to this as often as I can - not only is this *action* terrible, the intention behind it is to consolidate power and eliminate the three branches of government. The courts are already severely compromised. The power of the purse belongs to Congress.

Forget grandiose talk of curing cancer - this is what AI is actually doing to healthcare. In the words of one cardiologist: “it’s bots fighting bots, agents fighting agents, a horrible dystopic future nobody wants to live in.”

Not sure if anyone has heard, but there’s been lawsuits filed against some of the GLP-1 manufacturers bc ppl are literally going blind. It’s only around 4,000 complaints right now, so it’s considered rare*, but I’m putting this out there so ppl can make informed decisions.

Are GLP-1s causing blindness? What we know about rare cases
GLP-1 makers Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk have been the subject of thousands of lawsuits alleging injury. Those related to vision loss are the latest to pile up.

Nearly 10 point drop in one month? That's gas prices. Holy buckets. All that matters to anyone ever in any situation is gas prices. I'm opening a consultant firm and all we do is figure out how to get the best gas prices. I'm pushing abolishing ice and using the savings to bring down gas prices

You could find your way along the Nova Scotia coast blind, just by timing the blinks. Every lighthouse flashes on its own rhythm, a set interval and colour no neighbour repeats. Sambro Island off Halifax has burned since 1758, the oldest working lighthouse in North America. #lighthouse #NovaScotia

If you’re like me, immunologically, you have probably suffered a fever for one (Moderna) up to the (Pfizer) days after getting a Covid vaccine. Yesterday I tried Novavax instead, and had absolutely zero side effects (at the same time as my flu shot no less). It’s well worth a try if you haven’t.

Let's check in on how SF real estate is going oh dear SF home where landlord allegedly murdered his tenant rents for $6,300
sfstandard.com
SF landlord charged with murder is now renting out his victim’s home
A judge blocked the sale, but nothing stopped the family of an accused killer from trying to rent out the scene of the crime.
