Writing great books is one of the coolest things a human being can possibly do, but it’s important to recognize that the vast majority of authors throughout history earned roughly the equivalent of Uber driver wages to create the works we study today.

Talked with @brittanywong.bsky.social on the conservative/fascist turn in today’s fashion. Fashion can be a tool of control, but it can also be a form of resistance. Don’t buy into the fascist trends.

absolutely incredible -- CNN host introduces a segment about Trump's "new healthcare proposal," but less than two minutes later breaks into her script to announce "breaking news" that Trump's healthcare proposal is being postponed

I don't understand how anyone can watch how blatantly Grok is manipulated to answer the way ownership desires it to and then act like the other LLM chatbots couldn't possibly be similarly but less obviously compromised to produce responses in whatever way corporate interests and priorities dictate.

Fun fact: wearing a dress guarantees holdups at TSA, for you and everyone in line behind you. Weird that the Secretary of Transportation doesn't know that! Maybe a smoother security experience would *actually* make travelers happier? www.islands.com/1832165/unex...

All this bright red silk chiffon cocktail dress needs is an egg nog and a high heel. Ceil Chapman liked to ruche her gowns and this mid #1950s gown gathers the fabric around the body then lets it flow with a matching shoulder stole #goldsteinmuseum #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Lots of asylum seekers in NY, too, but yes, they are targeting certain racial groups and migration patterns rather undocumented immigration as a whole. Most undocumented immigrants overstay their visas rather than crossing the border illegally....

New York has more undocumented immigrants than any other city, which shows you how arbitrary and performative these ICE raids in Charlotte, Chicago, and literally everywhere else are.

Wicked: For Good’s rendition of the song “As Long as You’re Mine” is less horny than the Broadway version. It also puts Elphaba in a bulky, itchy-looking, ragged greige cardigan as she sings it. We have questions.
