Counterpoint. Chill out and let the host country add their unique touches. I don't recall all this pearl clutching when the hosts put a bisht on Messi at the final in Quatar.

Wow new Facebook feature that allows random businesses to message people privately is bad enough. Insult to injury, this is the first message I received.

I can't believe #survivor made me watch multiple confessionals, a concert and an extended fishing scene from a country singer when these three queens are on an island together and we didn't see one strategy talk between them. I want to see legends playing together, not rando celebrities.

apropos of nothing

We're all hoping for something like this in the gold medal celebration on ice, right?

I'm pretty blasé about the Oscars this year except for the best original song category. If there is any justice left in the world, Golden from KPop Demon Hunters will win the trophy. Song of the year in my opinion.

I’m excited to vote for Virginia’s first woman governor today! It’s a beautiful day to participate in democracy.

Today we honor Frances Ellen Watkins Harper’s 200th birthday — a suffragist, abolitionist and trailblazing journalist whose life is foundational to the work of The 19th. Read my colleague @kariwrites.bsky.social on her legacy and how it still drives so much of our work. 19thnews.org/2025/09/fran...

Ever get so distracted by something small & inconsequential that it mars an otherwise great experience? Loved Too Much on Netflix. Props to Lena. Megan Stalter is a queen, give her everything! But why is there a garbage bag in the huge outdoor bin? This isn't a thing people do! Who on set did this?

Ten years ago today: The morning after a white supremacist killed nine people in a massacre at Mother Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church, Bree Newsome Bass knew she needed to take action in her home state of South Carolina.

Tramell Tillman was amazing throughout the season but deserves all the praise and accolades for this dance scene alone. So hot. So dystopian.

The #Severance season 2 finale was freaking incredible. Go ahead and give Adam Scott his Emmy now. Like etch his name on the trophy and ship it to his house. No other lead actors need apply.

Smarter and more cultured people than me will write essays about the fantastic halftime show but it is remarkable to this Gen X woman that the coolest rapper on the planet is performing in boot cut mom jeans.

So satisfying

If I send you this, I'm here for you emotionally but I don't have time to actually do anything
