It has to stand.
It has to work.
It has to function.
This is the science of architecture.

It has to comfort.
It has to delight.
It has to inspire.
This is the art of architecture.

Every director responds to repeated box office bombs differently. George chose poorly.

Being "grown up" in the US means you're done with your parents and you're done with high school. It's a low bar. Our society is bereft of grown ups, nonetheless.

The worst thing you could do is validate my opinion.

This is why lawyers tell you to never apologize.

NEW: I spoke to clergy and faith leaders who've joined protests at the Chicago-area ICE facility.

Three say they've been shot with pepper balls, sometimes while praying.

All say ICE is also violating their religious freedom, and one is arguing it in court. religionnews.com/2025/10/07/i...

Cultural Narcissism

When I say MAGA is post-truth, one of the things I mean is the movement—along with its fellow travelers and apologists—approaches the world insisting that there’s no such thing as factual reality, there are only words and images that are good or bad for one’s team.

I am following this debut, and I don’t know anyone who can explain why an opinion journalist has been chosen as Editor-in-Chief. Did we need more opinion at CBS?

As everyone knows, when you remove a reference to the law, the law no longer exists. This is called the peekaboo theory of law.

The 90s miss you. Remember how good the 90s were? Don’t you want to relive that comforting past? Is the price of your soul really that unreasonable?

QuoProQuid @quoproquid.bsky.social · 2d

have just come across a YouTube account that has been using Sora to upload reels of fake, AI-generated “90s sitcoms” every few hours

A press release announcing your undercover operation seems, I dunno, a little counterintuitive, but I’m sure super-genius Ken Paxton knows what he’s doing

Joseph O @josepho.bsky.social · 1d

That’s a bad photoshop.
