I watched Love Is Blind for the first time because they set it in Boston, and I wrote about it for @gqmagazine.bsky.social! Read it here: www.gq.com/story/love-i...

Reality dating shows have never been my lobotomy of choice, but when I found out Love Is Blind had recorded a season in Boston, I was intrigued. As a Massachusetts (with no due respect to Morgan Wallen, the real “God’s Country”) native and former Boston resident, I had to see how it played out. How would a group of men possessing the emotional availability of a pile of cinder blocks mesh with an unseen cadre of women who would spit on Derek Jeter’s shoes if given the opportunity?

It's finally time!!! I can show you the cover of my upcoming middle grade graphic novel: Birdie Marigold and the Mini Golf Mystery! It'll be out next July & I really can't wait for you to read this one.

Cover of the upcoming graphic novel "Birdie Marigold and the Mini Golf Mystery." Two girls with shocked looks on their faces loom over a mini golf course shrouded in darkness. A spotlight hits a hooded figure running across the course.

Please remember that for every VE Schwab and Stephen King, there are a lot of banned Black, queer, and POC writers you've never heard of, to whom it is maybe not a badge of honor but a denial of their voice. Being banned is not a marketing opportunity, unless one is already rich.

I noticed last year that sweetgreen pivoted to MAHA when it started advertising seed oil-free french fries. Going MAHA is what a failing restaurant chain does now to get free advertising.

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:
Forget ChatGPT Flyers

Stretch them
Or cram a really long sentence into one line for no good reason
No whitespace

I really need to rewatch DC's Legends of Tomorrow. I can't believe I forgot to be mad about it being left off the top 100 shows list. It used to be a real part of my #brand identity and now I feel like my values are compromised

I bet what happened is that DC's Legends of Tomorrow was on that list, but then the Legends broke time when celebrating and wound up accidentally removing themselves.

I think the "debate" about bringing iced coffee to job interviews is effective at distracting people from the really bad job market, the high unemployment rate for Black women, ongoing mass layoffs in tech and media, and how Gen Z workers are refusing to adopt many toxic aspects of corp work culture

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.”

HAS Taylor Swift ever watched 30 Rock? I would like to know

Renata S Pumpkins @renatasnacks.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

also when people were making fun of Taylor Swift saying "sexy baby" in "Anti-Hero" I also assumed that was a 30 Rock reference. I think I'm like a Swiftie but of 30 Rock? I am decoding all the clues incorrectly and being led back to 30 Rock.

Which btw I know Ted Lasso is now Jason Sudekis's definitive role but to me?? Still Floyd from 30 Rock. I hope he's enjoying Cleveland's new IKEA.

The day after Taylor Swift drops anything at midnight (when I am ASWEEP) I wake up and sift through increasingly cryptic posts until I remember and go listen to/look at the new thing. Although I will say everyone talking about Cleveland all of a sudden made me assume everyone was rewatching 30 Rock

I don’t understand this revisionist history happening that says no one was opposing George W. Bush. There were street protests, email chains, songs by Green Day and the Chicks, Jon Stewart became our Walter Cronkite. No one was quiet about hating the president!
