Thank you for including antisemitism in this. From my heart. I can't tell you how much it meant to see this reshared into my feed tonight. May your notifications be as bullshit-free as possible, and may the rest of your week be the same.

Black women will save all of us. Time and again they are our heroes, even though we don't deserve them.

My newsletter today is about algorithms, culture, and celebrity beef. It's about how we're all complicit in this current festering cultural moment of ours.

@ariadnereviews.bsky.social I came to say sorry for commenting so obsessively on last week's GBBO post, then realized you were live posting through the new one which isn't out in the US here, may have spoiled myself, not sure I care? Anyway, excuse my condiment comments

Bradley P. Moss @bradmossesq.bsky.social · 17h
