I just turned on the ET Golden Globes red carpet and there was a tiny picture box where Leo was being interviewed and the main picture was Hudson Williams just standing there. I know that’s right.
Is it really that fucking hard to find some new curtains for my dining room before Thanksgiving?!?! I have been on the hunt for MONTHz
Black Honey is not the iconic Clinique color; it’s RIPE RAISIN #1994
deepest of deep breaths feeling nervous about this one, friends! I've written about the mainstreaming of pull-to-publish, its impact on fandom, and what it means for an increasingly corporate and IP-driven creative landscape.
"Feed fanfic into capitalism, and it comes out shaped like capitalism." @readingtheend.bsky.social dissects the trend pulling fanfiction through the traditional publishing pipeline (and what it means for fandom): reactormag.com/with-the-ser...
My favorite part of rapture tok are the Christians who think they’re superior bc they KNOW it’s not happening tomorrow bc “no one knows the day or the hour - not even the son of man,” but like they still believe the magic sky flight for goodies is definitely coming one day. #midnightcry
Oh man I can’t believe we haven’t heard anything from icon Dave Chappelle on the unforgivable, worth everything to stand up against it, crime of cancelling comedy just because you don’t agree with it. Maybe he’s napping.
This is the most detailed look inside Tyler Robinson's Discord community I've seen and yet again, it gives us absolutely no clear motivation, political in or otherwise. www.kenklippenstein.com/p/exclusive-...

I hate this shit Nate is doing with the donation money. As of 100k is not something that everyone in the first 10rows of that theater can’t spare immediately.
Bargatze doing the most conspicuous-consumption iteration of “asshole who sets cash tip on the table and pulls a dollar back every time the waitress is slow with a refill” sure does make me feel like I don’t have to care about him or his work ever again
Half my coworkers at Taco Bell are homeless. Some live in their cars. One guy literally lives under a bridge. Apartments around here start at $2000/mo but I could rent a dilapidated trailer with plastic sheeting for doors for $850/mo
People are homeless because they can’t afford rent. Because capitalism wrings out every piece of productivity from people while just barely maintaining their survival so they can continue to work. Because suffering on the streets is a threat to make you go clock in. It’s not a personal failure.

the people who made this thing should be treated like dealers who mix fent into drugs.

JESUS, MARY, AND JOSEPH! This gave me old Google back! It killed the AI results dead!
This, actually works. For me at least.
I want to cook dinner but I have no garlic. Guess I’ll starve. Disclaimer: I don’t grocery shop; that’s a man’s job
Yall really should be interrogating what you read and not just resting on that you read.
Hey book influencers! It’s possible to just NOT talk about that book. You don’t have to weigh in, promote, highlight, feature, or even rate it on Goodreads. Like you can just read it (if that’s what you actually want to do) and move on. Unless what you’re after is the high of promoting it after all.

No. I cannot handle Captive Prince getting a new audience bc of a fucking viral fan art. I can’t see the discourse. I can’t watch the reviews. Leave LAMEN alone!

Why do I feel like this is a @charlottestein.bsky.social adaptation?
Dave Bautista will finally star in his own rom-com ‘THE ROMANTIC’ after wishing to star in one for years. The film follows a man who is secretly a romance author named Francine, but he must hire a woman to pose as him at a convention to avoid scrutiny. (Source: Deadline)
