yes. the Cornell case is ricocheting like a pinball and lighting up all of the related rage. the pattern is fast, bright and loud and getting harder to deny.

an actual fire (doesn't seem too serious) in my apartment building and a couple of for-hire movers are going up in the elevator as the firefighters arrive. because, in america, you are always on the clock.

also, Everett Blunck's unease was absolutely riveting. Kayo Martin's evil twinkle, too... The Plague makes a good (haunting) companion to Adolescence.

just a gentle reminder that if you never go to the websites and sources that provide the information for your AI-powered research, those websites and sources will die out.

I really liked Primetime. Performances were riveting and the story / tone was a tightrope walk, nailed. Totally see the buzz for Robert Pattinson. Merritt Weaver and Skylar Gisondo brought it, too. ✨

tried to capture some of that sky last night, real quick, from inside the car last night. like a honey ocean up there.

looking up between the square buildings of DTLA art district in los angeles, the sky is glowing at dusk, the clouds and light mingle like spokes on a bicycle. the beams of the bright sun intersect the spokes.

the stickiness of this iced coffee convo is starting to remind me of back when people started throwing around "karen" so much that even a woman's reasonable complaints in a store were up for mockery. this public square we've created sure can be punishing.

Night. Crowd in the foreground, palm trees stretch into the sky. A very large screen illuminates the words: "The fate of the most vulnerable will be the fate of the world"

Jim Henson would have been 90 (yup, you read that right: NINETY) years old today. You can celebrate his life by celebrating creativity, diversity, peace, imagination, and silliness.

another 'meat not inspected' recall. who is not inspecting the meat? how do they skip this? are they just saying the meat is not inspected as a meat heist? why is everything so so so

the absurd degree of transparent corruption is simultaneously infuriating and boring as hell.
