So it's fine to fantasize about some cathartic purge where shitty people actually face consequences for their shittiness. But understand that the default course of events in the US -- even now, even in the face of *this* shittiness -- is elite impunity. Which means ...

huh so I guess it is possible for celebrities and pop stars to fly commercial and the private jet usage is really just an indulgence at the expense of the climate

Every conversation I have with my cat either sounds like I’m talking to a 3 year old or having the same fight with my decades-long partner and there’s little in between
I love when speech to text catches me talking to the cat.

Having watched a few episodes of Elsbeth while looking for a needlepoint show, I do kind of love that her Columbo Quirk is “1-3 massive totes,” the lady equivalent of a rumpled trench coat
Let's see if you can win Guess Which Actress My MIL Was Thinking Of. She...
1. Is married to that guy
2. Was on a TV show, with police
3. Is disorganized
4. Blonde? Maybe?
5. Carried a big bag.
6. Her husband reminded the MIL of someone like Kevin Spacey or Keanu Reeves (pronounced "canoe," FYI).

If any of the allegations are true, Nuzzi covering for RFK Jr. directly played a role in the gutting of America's public health infrastructure, the defenestrating of the CDC and the promotion of the lie that vaccines causing autism.
If the Nuzzi blast radius doesn't impact both the new editor of VF and the NYT profiler, then something wrong. Holy shit.

People will die, and are currently dying, because RFK was granted one of the most powerful megaphones in the country. Two people who could have thrown barriers in front of his climb decided not to; there's a sex scandal here but it is not the biggest scandal.

In college I went to @acekatana.bsky.social’s great aunt’s house for Thanksgiving, a lovely evening interrupted only when a cousin bit into the stuffing and came out with the crunched plastic of a hearing aid that Uncle Felix had lost the year prior.
yes, hello, I would like to place an order for everyone’s funniest stories of holiday food-related family grudges / drama / chaotic incidents / lore

I feel like we need this

Everyone except Mets fans can appreciate why Chase Utley should be admitted to the baseball Hall of Fame. Chase was put on this Earth to do two things: kill WW2-era Nazis and get hit by pitches, and Jack Kennedy asked him to stop killing Nazis on account of Operation Paperclip.

Hopefully voters give Utley extra credit for his service in World War II

There was a NYC “blackout” storyline that played across Mad About You, Friends, and a short-lived Dabney Coleman show called Madman of The People. The only other sitcom on NBC that night was Seinfeld which didn’t do the blackout story, making Seinfeld Sony Spider-Man?
Mad About You and Seinfeld had a crossover in the first season with Kramer and Mad About You and Friends had repeated crossovers with Ursula so basically the 90s NBC prime time schedule was the marvel universe
