On CNN, actress Tilda Swinton talked about the AIDS crisis’ impact on her, per The Advocate. “When I was 33 in 1994, I went to 43 funerals,” Swinton said—with one of them being for Derek Jarman, the gay man who directed her in her debut film, Caravaggio. Swinton’s grandmother—who lived through two world wars—understood the effects of the epidemic, with the actress stating, “She said, ‘This is your generation’s war.’” And talking about gender fluidity, Swinton said, “I think it’s a waste—this idea of fixing one’s identity.

A tiny bit of shameless self-promotion because the gifting season is creeping up on us. If you’re after something delicious, handcrafted, and ethical, my chocolate boxes, bars, and treats make really lovely gifts. Treat yourself, treat someone else, or both, I won’t judge! Reshares appreciated! 🍫✨

Since we live in a culture that worships merch, I've always wondered why there are no specific lawn decorations for Thanksgiving. Very occasionally a blow up turkey. Nothing else. Until now when I present my new idea for making millions:

Remember the recent middle-of-the-night apartment building raid where children were dragged outside naked & zip-tied in the street while black & Latino residents were _sorted by race_ and piled into separate vans while their apartments were ransacked & robbed? That raid? So it resulted in 0 arrests.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem should resign and be criminally charged, according to critics who seized on a report revealing that zero people who were arrested in a high-profile raid were charged with a crime.

Among my favorite parts of the Seth Meyers/Lonely Island podcast is when an episode is about a Digital Short I'd never seen before — especially ones so funny, it leaves me wishing I'd known about them 15 years ago. Case in point: this week's discussion of "Booty Call," with Alicia Keys.
