Love this outfit on Daniel Day-Lewis. DDL has a reputation for being a real clothes nerd, having studied bespoke shoemaking under Stefano Bemer, knowing his way around Savile Row, and getting guernseys from little-known makers. He wears his own clothes to photoshoots.

Do you suppose Mike Johnson is a pedophile himself, whether or not he's on Epstein's list? He's about the right age to have been one of the victims, maybe that's what's going on.

My heart aches for the 60 people killed eight years ago today at the Route 91 Harvest music festival in Las Vegas—and the hundreds more who were injured. No family should ever carry this pain.

Great reading last night of Dangerous Women at the Sacramento Poetry Center. Dangerous, tender, and hilarious. Poetry as solace and political resistance. So much fun, too. @moiramagneson.bsky.social @patricia-caspers.bsky.social @kimshuck.bsky.social

Moira Magneson: A woman with short brown hair, a blue shirt, and red glasses reads from her new book of poems at the microphone. The book's back cover is orange and front cover is dark brown. A wall of books on shelves is behind her, and a black music stand with holes in it is in the foreground.

Seems I need to explain why sometimes I post screenshots from the bad place. Here’s how it goes: if a friend alerts me to news from the bad place, the first thing I do is find the poster here on Bsky. If they haven’t posted the story on Bsky, I look for it from anyone on Bsky. 1/
