A PSA to all fellow bicyclists: remember that wet leaves are autumn’s version of black ice. Tread carefully on them! Wet leaves can f*ck your sh*t up in a heartbeat!

I still love this T-shirt we saw in a gay-owned restaurant in Eureka Springs Arkansas about a year ago. Never have I seen such truth captured in this way. BTW Somehow or other these groups all seemed to basically get along in this town.

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani is planning to turn an outdated skyscraper building in the city into 4,000 units of affordable housing. Instead of creating destructive data centers that destroy lives as well as the ecosystem for dark profit, this leader chooses to help people instead. More of this please.

I say this as someone who for years got into ridiculous fights on the internet, sought out pointless conflict, and got into trouble for it: mass harassment only makes the target's behavior and health worse. It achieves literally nothing else.

I don't really care about TV and the Emmys really, but this year WIDOW'S BAY winning a bunch of awards makes me happy. I only hope it doesn't go to their heads and that S2 will be just as wonderfully funny and scary as S1. If you haven't watched it yet, it's really good!

A few years ago I found out that in the early 60s, Steinem worked with James Warren, the publisher of Famous Monsters of Filmland and other horror-related magazines that I’d loved as a teen in the late 70s. That amazing factoid just made her all the more cool to me. RIP to a legend.
