My iPad finally got a cracked screen after about 100 falls b/c I’m a careless person and I think I’m taking this a sign from the universe that I only need 2 computer forms - 1) the big, desktop computer & 2) the phone

the character of Marty in Marty Supreme is so frequently putting other people in harm’s way (physical and/or emotional) and that makes it a very different movie from Uncut Gems - idk, I keep thinking back to that movie, and the acting was great but what a thing to put into this particular world

I kind of want to start watching hockey again (and the Blackhawks were my team) but the whole covering up sex abuse in the 2010s feels like a nonstarter - I don’t know if Mark Lazarus or anyone has done a retrospective but would like to know if they actually have a better culture/guardrails

Zohran Mamdani has already surpassed Brandon Johnson by having department heads to announce before taking office and not waiting six months.
I think people are underestimating how much Mamdani, even more so than your average elected leftist, see it as his top priority to not be seen as a failed mayor. He is not going to be another Brandon Johnson, I’d wager

I do think the handwringing about the Kennedy Center boycott is at least a little bit the sublimated anxiety about the potential social consequences of elite capitulation under Trump II

Right after the first big snowstorm of the year we were pulling up to my stop which was an absolute mess of snow & ice & the bus driver was like you can’t get out here & backed up to let me out at a shoveled corner
inspired by @gravelinfluencer.bsky.social ... reply or quote with your best bus ride this year.
Mine was definitely the one where the guy was really intent on making sure I heard him complimenting my wallet. Other one was the mini-bus that took us around Sintra in Portugal.

Uncut Gems worked because the protagonist who couldn’t ever learn from their lessons died in the end and Marty Supreme fails narratively because we’re supposed to trust someone who is seemingly incapable of reflection or growth with a child

Is anyone else just in like preemptive fatigue about businesses eating the seed corn by not hiring ANY juniors - I just look at our teams in my group and am like we shed about 4 senior people a year and hire approximately 1 new junior - the next 5 years are going to be rough

I fundamentally agree that mutual aid is not a substitute for an actual welfare state & it’s far more arbitrary and contingent than people deserve - but I think asking the comfortable (myself included) to think about what they can give and to meet other people’s needs is probably a pro-social thing

Cooking at my dad’s and embracing the chaos - why does he have 5 jars of capers ranging from 3 months to 6 years out of date? None of my business. Every kind of vinegar but white? We’re doing quick pickles in champagne vinegar instead

This is the architecture I miss most from Cincinnati - I love all the crazy stuff the recent immigrant craftspeople were doing ~1840-1880
One of the most well-preserved and ornate German-influenced Queen Anne Victorian homes in Chicago — the Hermann Weinhardt House at 2137 West Pierce Avenue in Wicker Park, built 1888.

Ok, we’re starting New Year’s resolutions early this year, will update as I’m going for quantity over quality this year -
# 1 - I will not buy anymore art until everything I own is either hung up or given away (stuff I really want to keep but don’t have a place for can be hung in closets)
