Never done a Halloween name before, but I will not be putting an H on the end of my name for the sake of the sound. The H from my last name will have to get the job done. 🐈‍⬛

Onion bagel, toasted. Regular cream cheese is perfectly fine, but if you have a veggie one, I'll take that.

Tell me your bagel order and I will tell you *based on NYC cultural expectations* if you have won or lost your election for political office in NYC.

Erin Biba @erinbiba.bsky.social · 15h

One of my favorite things about NYC is whenever anyone runs for office here they are required to disclose their bagel order.

“I think for far too long we’ve tried not to lose, as opposed to figuring out how to win.” — the problem with the democratic party in a nutshell.

Frog and Toad looked into a mirror.

“We look brave,” said Frog.

“Yes, but are we?” asked Toad.

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

The fact that their ticket was mysteriously canceled the day before and then they were questioned by DHS is both one of the greatest political scandals and crises of my lifetime and just another fucking Thursday in 2025.

Mark Bray and Yesenia Barragan, and the family, have safely embarked on their trip to Spain after being questioned by DHS.

it really has been amazing how much one person in a frog suit destroyed their fantasy visuals over the past week. this wouldn't work everywhere but Portland, you are doing amazing sweetie

Can you put into words what that purpose is? You and the frog have really become icons of this protest.

There’s been a nice overall whimsy that has shown up. The frog is amazing. We had a bunch of other inflatable people here last night, too. I saw people playing Twister the other day.

What they rely on is fear. So by coming out in an absurdist manner, it speaks to them, to some extent, that we’re actually not that afraid.

It also dismantles their narrative a little bit. When they try to describe this situation as “war-torn,” it becomes much harder to take them seriously when they have to post a video saying [U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security] Kristi Noem is up on the balcony staring over the Antifa Army and it’s, like, eight journalists and five protesters and one of them is in a chicken suit.

My new tv arrived and Netflix is already like "SOOOOOO do you want to pay more for ultra HD?" No! I am coming from a dying tv from the early 2010s. I am already having an upgraded experience!

I would also add Lucinda Williams to this conversation. She's got some great lyrics.

I bought Beth Orton's first album based on a tiny capsule review in Seventeen magazine ('97? '98? somewhere around then), and I've very much enjoyed her ever since.

Brianna Ashby @briannaduggan.bsky.social · 1d

It's obviously valid to be disappointed by things, but I don't know man, I'd much rather know what albums people were surprised to learn they loved. I might learn something. I might stream something. I might support a musician.

Marie Phillips @mariephillips.bsky.social · 1d

What albums does everyone regret buying? Loads for me, but the one that really sticks in my mind is K by Kula Shaker, which I forced myself to listen to joylessly several times in the desperate attempt to convince myself I hadn’t wasted my money, and still get cringes of regret about 29 years later.

SarAAA Habein 🎃 @sarahabein.bsky.social · 1d

Huh, so it is! I didn't even wonder, I just went along with it, true or not, haha.

SarAAA Habein 🎃 @sarahabein.bsky.social · 1d

Yes, nothing against a catchy pop song with middling lyrics. Those have their place too!
