I would see this movie / go to this restaurant

People has named Sexiest Man Alive, so it’s time for vintage nerds to name their Sexiest Man Dead! In past contests, Toshiro Mifune and Paul Newman have taken top honors. Who are your picks?

!!!!! cool alert 🚨🚨🚨🚨

Bit of a dream team, this

Also everyone always (rightly) focuses on Danny’s Apollo 11 sweater, but do not sleep on Wendy’s embroidered wild-west cardigan. Milena Canonero has not missed once.

HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

You’re gonna want to see what the BlueSky guys have decided is too intolerant for you to read.

PUT EN VOGUE ON!!!!

Competitive authoritarianism is supposed to be *competitive* after all.

did any of these people google the countries they were moving to

I know it’s really distasteful and dispiriting and gross to think about, but you won’t understand Trumpist politics or the status of women if you don’t understand that a lot of people aren’t just in denial about the prevalence of rape; they are affirmatively pro-rape.

He is so close to getting it

Walter was more than Chekov. He was a writer, a teacher, a thoughtful man, and a loyal friend. To the fans who loved him for so many years, thank you. He loved you too. Rest well, my dear friend. Keep navigating a steady course. – George

I'm going to try to do this cleanly. Today's right wing governments are networked to each other. Those networks are well-documented. You can read about them in books. Following the elections in one node of that network is good practice for understanding the U.S. node.

"Koenig tells of series creator Gene Roddenberry’s insistence on ethnic diversity in Star Trek, and why he believes it is a key to the franchise’s ongoing success." Don't miss this half-hour with Walter 🖖

My pal Danielle Koenig shared that her father Walter Koenig passed away last night at age 90. A performer whose kindness and warmth shone through the screen. He will be well remembered.

DISGORGEMENT

The US is not about to have a free and fair election. The state has put its thumb on the scale to favor the ruling party in multiple ways. It's a mostly free, somewhat unfair election. But still one where the ruling party can be overwhelmed by numbers. Hence the term "competitive authoritarianism."

Rejoice. And consider that we must deliver ourselves from Thermostatic Election Hell. Tribunals, truth and reconciliation commissions, and constitutional-level reforms should all be on the table.

Oh so a country *can* choose not to make the same mistake twice

AI could never, apparently.

ok but I'm absolutely going to Cheesecake Atelier

When you invoke The Factory

I grew up in a lower income immigrant family and we ate at Red Lobster for "special days." But we also understood the White House should not look like the inside of Red Lobster. It's condescending to assuming working ppl are culturally illiterate bc their experience is shaped by their limited means.

if you are feeling down, watch this. it helps, i promise.

“Gifts for Men”: a basket of cleaning supplies and the complete works of bell hooks

An art historical gloss: for those who don't know, Guernica was held by MoMA in NYC for more than 40 years, as Picasso stipulated the painting should not return to Spain while Franco was still in power. It was finally unstretched, rolled up & sent back to Spain in 1981, as shown in this video

Today I'll be disassociating into 1970s newspaper ads.

Cleaning the house while listening to Murray Hill’s wonderful memoir “Showbiz!” and I highly recommend the audio book because he reads it himself complete with sound effects. 10/10.

Instead of saying it, become a

Every single Palantir higher-up sounds like a mustache-twirling comic book villain, above and beyond what a simply unethical person would sound like.
