Morning tea: a 2025 ephemeral Green from Laoshan, the cradle of Taoism. Taste: puffed rice, Jerusalem artichokes, baked potato. Gives an exciting & awakening energy. 🙃

Been tika'd by my hosts. Leaving for Kathmandu in the morning.

Me, with tika on my forehead wearing a garland of beads and a scarf from my hosts.

Tim Walz: "It's almost unimaginable that he's got Milei in there, giving him $20 billion, so that they can undercut us and China can buy their soybeans from them. And now China has learned they can replace our markets."

I saw the smoke 6 years ago and now the special education department is being burned down to the frame.
Everything that I've worked so hard to achieve for my daughter is being erased. The system was already broken and now parents like me are scrambling to fill the voids.

Ok #uglydog friends. I asked for advice a couple of weeks ago and several of you encouraged me to make a gofundme to raise money to pay for the surgeries that Bella and Moneypenny need. I’ve finally made one. I know many of us and struggling and hurting right now, so I understand if you aren’t able.

NEW: Pentagon officials are forcing staff to watch Pete Hegseth's "Warrior" speech he forced generals to listen to.

Officials are even "testing" staff to see if they watched — and are threatening consequences if they lie about watching it or if they mock it, sources tell @swin24.bsky.social and I.

The Pentagon Is Ordering Staff to Watch Hegseth’s ‘MAGA Garbage’ Speech… Or Else

Defense Department sources tell Zeteo that staff have been warned that if they don’t watch or read the speech, or if they speak negatively of it, they could face severe consequences.

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable

You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

Very sorry to hear of the death of Toby Talbot. With her husband Dan, she operated the movie houses that were such an important part of our New York lives: The New Yorker, Cinema Studio, The Metro, and the legendary Lincoln Plaza Cinema. RIP.
