I was walking down the street & got randomly asked out. I said no but he persisted. Picked him up later and he brought 2 friends (didn’t ask first). They all made fun of the tape deck in my car & the fact that I didn’t drink. I still have that car/tape deck and am sober but can’t remember his name

This way that this person says this stuff… and then our collective reaction to all of it… what reality am I living in?

Trump on Jon Husted: "I don't do this with men very often. I started examining his body, because I didn't know he was a great athlete ... I looked at his ass"

People choose not to share locations for many good reasons but I’m grateful I can look at my mom’s location and see she’s on a nature hike in the mountains and know that right now is not the time to bother her 🏔️

Big round of applause over here for the woman (me) who washed her ruggables today and replaced all of them on their pads perfectly and very quickly on her own

On my commute this week i came upon a person in a full goth situation and then immediately after I saw a woman in a full Magenta getup and felt extremely confused. It was 8am, too early for RHPS. Then I realized it was comic con. However not sure if the goth was just having a regular day or not

This guy needs to understand they’re not eating prime rib when they eat McDs

Trump: "When I see that Talafreako in Texas. So he's been a vaygan all his life. He's a vaygan vaygan, I didn't even know what the hell a veygan was. A veygan is vegetables. A vaygan is eating a piece of lettuce all day long."

Sorry, this was saved in my drafts from last week and I sat on it and still felt it needed to be said

I’ve been vegetarian for 40 years & restaurants are recently offering barely any meat free choices. I’ve never had this issue where I can’t find one thing to eat on most menus. The mass closing of nyc vegan restaurants is alarming. 2020s will be known as the protein overload decade

My favorite subreddit is either the cool non-snobby girl ballet subreddit or the murder she wrote subreddit and no other subreddit comes close

Line of people outside the Proenza Schouler sample sale all looking very uninspired satorially speaking

Two women, tourists, sitting on the big traffic rock in the intersection at Canal and Lafayette just lounging

Dying to know which Colleen Hoover the woman sitting next to me on the train and taking up 2 seats very aggressively by crossing her legs into my zone while waving her foot around and reserving room for her bag is reading. Oh it’s Verity. Hope she’s enjoying the worst book I’ve ever read

The golden age of america commercial is incredible because you can just tell that trump has serious plans to put himself on Mount Rushmore

Is anyone else just completely not interested in seeing super rich Tom Cruise play a caricature of oil tycoon? What exactly is he spoofing in that role?

I was outside Lincoln Center yesterday and vans were parked outside NYFF on Broadway with flashing screens saying Israel had a right to defend itself due to Oct 7. Seems like Naza is getting under someone’s skin a bit

Given how the Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb closure will likely continue until 2029 and green technology is going more available and cheaper (esp solar), wouldn’t be surprised if this further power a Green Industrial Revolution that US will be forced to partake in just bc of the economics

Life riddle: brush my teeth with an electric toothbrush, floss with smart floss, then after all that, when I use the water pik, I’m still getting visible crud out of my teeth? How?!

I am so happy! I have worn tights many days this week. Happy regular ass weather to all who are able to celebrate

Before i turned out the light tonight i turned to my dog and I said “I hope tonight is the night I actually sleep this week” and so much for that dashed dream

Dead mouse in the building lobby this morning. So tiny. Very cute. So dead. I handled the clean up like a true superhero so that the rest of the tenets didn’t start blowing up the building WhatsApp group and annoy me all day

I spent most of 2008 homeless living off a salary less than $30k in SF. I had no idea there was a financial crisis as I was busy scouring Craigslist for roommates. I found a spot with a couple. The day before I moved in their spot they called me and told me they were being evicted. Moved in anyway

Material costs continue to skyrocket on all formats. Some think non-majors are gouging on CDs since majors use them for charting purposes. We are all not selling more LPs than we were during lockdown. Not even close. CD numbers continue to grow percentage wise because they’re building from 0

Costs are only going up thanks to wars and tariffs. This is not the fault of the plants. Printing costs are extraordinary. Raw materials continue to surge. Gas! I love physical media and my livelihood depends on it but if you are hoping for affordability due to popularity it is not coming

Sometimes I listen to a newly unearthed Rallizes recording and think “I wish John Whitson could have heard this while he was alive”

This poll is extremely specific to my exact age demo: Swans Crossing (Sarah Michlle Geller) vs Fifteen (the show not the band) (Ryan Reynolds)

People losing their minds that NYU owns the AMC Kips Bay space and didn’t renew their lease need a reality check. Leaves your tiny Manhattan neighborhood to go to independent theaters please. AMCs do not need your tears

I have had a lot of weird train things happen lately including a guy with a knife yelling at us but the guy next to me right now is eating cubes of meat and rice and spitting the meat cubes back into the togo container after he puts them in his mouth. It smells awful of course (meat is murder)

Found one good use for AI, convincing the president he did something to keep him from actually doing it

Trump posts AI slop with the caption, “Kharg Island being blown to smithereens!!!”

I was telling my husband that there is going to be a new Poirot show written by the guy who did Obsession and he couldn’t believe that a young, hip, successful whippersnapper would be interested in a weird Belgian detective show with the first episode based on Lord Edgware

Today I saw a video of Israeli settler monsters dragging a little donkey behind a vehicle and brutally killing it and while I wish it had been censored like the news does with murdered humans maybe it’s for the best that some uncensored monster behavior gets out there

I see people on Instagram talking about the flooding and weirdness during storms in nyc and how they’re caused by climate change asking someone to do something! WE ALL HAVE TO STOP EATING SO MUCH MEAT AND DRiVING EVERYWHERE. I know Exxon is to blame but you can still do your part

Just now reading the comments section from the Hayden Panettiere's memoir article in the nytimes from May. Why are people so awful online? Someone even mentioning that 2014 was also a hard time for Ukraine too, and they wonder if she writes at all about that? Monsters

*When I was your age* I bought my tickets for shows at a record store & bought movie tickets 30 minutes before showtime w/no reserved seating. Still yesterday I waited in line at Lincoln Square with the most obnoxious people I have ever been around. Convenience and tech reliance has damaged society

From insane resale prices to hours-long waits, the summer of movie ticket "concertification" is upon us. Part of the problem is tech, but it's also our "scarcity mindset" around being first to see the best possible formats. by @milesklee.bsky.social: www.wired.com/story/why-is...

Currently on the season of Murder, She Wrote that has a ballet company episode (feat a 2 second interior shot of the Met opera house lobby even though it’s set in SF) and Jessica solving a murder on the set of the Bates Motel house. Is this best show ever or what?

My least favorite kind of Letterboxd review commenter is the one who asks where to view something. Not everything in this world has to be on streaming to be viewed or listened to!

Train story # 563265: we were in the middle of a fight between a guy who loudly discussed Wings of Desire after seeing my husband’s Crime and the City Solution shirt and an angry guy with a knife. Still not as horrible as the smell coming off the feet of a man who took off his shoes 4 feet away

If you live your life by simply doing the best you can to make life better for others you have a reason to exist. If you are a trillionaire your only reason to exist is to redistribute wealth that you gamed a poorly constructed model for. Winning and gaining isn’t a natural human raison d'être

In my dream last night I brought Zendaya and my long dead grandmother to a work party in London where everyone was mad at me for bringing Zendaya because she had recently convinced a fictional band to leave one the labels even though they were awful and just nepo babies
