Omg I’m glad they told you. I got thrown for a LOOP last week. Sore arm, fever, loopy for 48 hrs. (But of course worth it.)

for those (like me) unfamiliar with AFP Fact Check, it's a department within Agence France-Presse, a multilingual news agency guaranteed independence under French law. (yeah, I know we have the First Amendment here in the USA. um.)

A terrific AFP fact check uses reverse image searches to expose how a White House video took scenes from Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Nebraska and lied that they showed "Chicago is in chaos."

Post from WH about Chicago "in chaos," showing scene from another state.

the NFL cashmere collection contains NO PACKERS merch. maybe they’re worried we’d just get CHEESE on it. naadam.co/collections/...

your halloween costume inspo

Diane Keaton in Annie Hall, in her iconic outfit of black vest with top button closed, wide dotted men's tie sticking out the bottom, white button-down, and baggie khakis.

same annie hall outfit as in first image, but with additional accessories: slouchy striped straw bag with leather handles and wide-brimmed black hat

Annie Hall in full coastal grandma garb (i hate this movie fyi but she's great in it), laughing on a hamptons beach. she's wearing a ribbed cream turtleneck sweater and white straight-legged trousers, holding one red grape.

Cover of Diane Keaton's book Fashion First, depicting her in a wide-brimmed black hat, checkered menswear suit, overcoat in a bigger glen plaid pattern, wide black belt worn over the open coat, and chunky black shiny shoes or boots.

Jenni, I’m sorry! Would be delighted to discuss my love for my queer shul, with its Jewish joy, textual cluefulness, glorious singing and gazillion-front advocacy work!

Apologies given with intention are acts of love. Apologies accepted well are acts of grace. Asking for an apology when you feel one is owed is an act of trust. (And maybe the hardest of all.) thank you, @marjorieingall.bsky.social @sorrywatch.bsky.social

We cannot condone political violence.

That said, it’s important to remember that Republicans have demanded that the Second Amendment be interpreted to mean anyone who wants a gun can get one, including assault weapons.

As Charlie Kirk recognized, that comes with a downside.
