Pamela Anderson's career was (obviously) not for me, but I really enjoy seeing her like this, it's lovely.

the part of “In the Next Life” when kim petras starts singing in german is such a little treat.

Somewhere out there a deeply closeted catholic priest who has built a compensatory identity around powerlifting is posting about how St Valentine was a Manly Man who was beaten to death because he loved Jesus so much.

New book day. Picked up Furious Minds on the recommendation of @mattpolprof.bsky.social or @1t2ls.bsky.social (maybe both).

(And no points for noticing the irony of posting an attention manifesto on social media.)

As a young person I realized people are more offended by having to tell you they don't know what you're talking about than they are by having to tell you that they're not stupid, so I tend to over-explain everything.

Also I'm terrible at responding to texts.
No, but for real, why are you so annoying?

Wonderful movie. Glorious novel.
Evening viewing recommendation? Watch James Ivory's sumptuously romantic adaptation of E. M. Forster’s MAURICE (1987) in our Yearning collection! ❤️‍🔥

tweaked something in my right glute/lower back so had to cut it short to be safe but the good news is doesn’t seem too irritated.

except in conservative this is expressed as gender: “liberals are too feminized and weak to fight. they just scream and cry about how triggered they are and buy more purple hair dye”
one of the fundamental thesis of conservatism is that the liberals are all too chickenshit to do anything about their antics. anyways
"you're gonna get in trouble for that"

*stone-faced*

"okay"

Fascinating. A Man for All Seasons was clearly much on the public mind still. And Frost. But chiefly these guys were struck by the romantic poets, who dominate.

You have to believe the guy who says he loves Milton. Also Javits… seems pretty cool.
1968: Esquire asks every member of Congress:
1. What idea, work, or thinker most influenced your political philosophy?
2. What music do you prefer?
3. Who is your favorite painter?
4. Who is your favorite poet/novelist?
5. Name one of the movies you most enjoyed
6. Theatre, ballet, opera, or sports?

lol this is the best set up for an own
may have just scolded the lady next to me on this flight for leaving her trash in the seat right before we deplaned. “i don’t think you should leave your trash.” “who cares what you think” [observes she has a copy of the new york times in her hands]

No context necessary. (But the context is funny too.)

The incredible thing is the nonchalance. Random white lady in jeans, committing arson in broad daylight. With lighter fluid.

Maybe there's mental illness involved, but if not this is the sort of thing that suggests the fear of the state's coercive power can no longer maintain order.
