“The question of who gets to live as long as they should isn’t moral but systemic.

We often say that death is the great unifier as it’s the one thing that we all have in common. But sometimes, I look around and wonder if even the after-life is segregated.”

Diane Keaton, Miss Major, D'Angelo...

Who gets to live a "long" life in America?

I think it’s hilarious that he thinks everyone had coordinated effort to keep him in an alternate reality when multiple people tried to tell him the truth he wouldn’t budge. Trusted the wrong ppl in the face of facts over & over. I wouldn’t be better but I think it’s funny he says Truman show. #bb27

I am being asked to tell my department which pieces of lab equipment should be supported with backup power because they expect rolling blackouts and brownouts in 2026 due to increased energy demands from AI. In case you're wondering how my day is going.

Maddening players to me, but I kinda think it’s cute that Vince and Keanu are still friends and text. #bb27

Yeah he broke it down really well. Like it’s not about your intent or how you see yourself it’s the impact.

As someone who worked many Black Fridays at Bath & Body Works in the mall I can tell you there’s a level of fortitude to put up with people’s bullshit never seen before. That plus problem solving and connecting/upselling. I want to watch people hungry for that money too! #bb27

LukieLovely @lukielovely.bsky.social · 2d

I do think Ava Pearl was a step in the right direction for casting weird little freaks but i need more out there alternative people in each cast ranging from their fashion sense to their crazy interests/hobbies. like i want heavy metal rockers and spirit mediums and local drag queens. #BBSky #BB27

LukieLovely @lukielovely.bsky.social · 2d

I’m trying to say this in a way that makes sense but I need Evel Dick archetypical casting again. Like what happened to our Evel Dicks, Lydia Taveras, Adam Pochs, Jenn Citys, etc. Where is our grungy punks. Like give me houseguests who aren’t polished. give me messy grunge. #BB27 #BBSky

Right!!

I watched it everyday and he consistently named Keanu’s misogyny. I’m assuming people are mad he didn’t push back against the women guest hosts who said Morgan was male centered cause she played the first half attached to Vinnie and Zach.

We did not know who Role Model was before watching SNL, and now we feel second hand embarrassment.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Today I visited the Institute Giacometti in Montparnasse. It houses a reconstruction of Alberto Giacometti’s original studio and a rotating selection of his sculptures and sketches.
