tuberculosis is the reason for the season
a marketing email from LA Opera advertising their production of La Bohème with the subject line: La Bohème is Pure Holiday Magic. Below is an image of two principle singers looking delighted to witness Bob Cratchit discover the miracle of Christmas when instead they are freezing in a tenement and watching their friend's lungs dissolve inside her chest

it's such a shame, these two really deserved each other

this reads like when I tell Nephew he needs to punch up his creative writing with some details and all he can think to add is the color of everyone's shirt
A screenshot of a post from Ryan Lizza, former fiance of Olivia Nuzzi, called Part 1: How I Found Out: Olivia had just returned from a reporting trip—at least that’s what she told me it was—and her Herschel backpack, the one with the flap that never quite closed properly, was tossed beside our bed, its contents scattered on the floor. That’s when I noticed the sheets of Kimpton Hotel stationery that would alter the course of our lives.

Thinking of getting into candles this winter. Not in a luxury scented way, in a pyrophile type way.

The light is just so NICE
five yellow beeswax pillar candles in hurricane glass holders and six yellow votive candles in clear glass holders sit on a glass coffee table. The light from the candles is reflected in their holders and the glass of the table and it is so yellow and soft

tbh her sleep schedule is not my primary concern here. that's a symptom, not the disease
Excerpt from linked article: Pointing to the bags beneath her eyes, Takaichi told MPs that she survives on minimal sleep – a habit she shares with her political hero Margaret Thatcher – after being asked how she would tackle Japan’s notoriously long working hours.

LOOK at this tiny car and it's paint job and its license plate I love this goofy town
A SmartCar with a paint-splatter wrap? Custom paint job? The vanity plate says JPOLLOK.

For my final indulgence of this trip, I booked a private tub for golden hour/sunset
A concrete mineral water tub, looking out toward the San Jacinto mountains. The light is ridiculously hazy and golden

I'm at a hot spring resort today and the only plan is to spend the day moving between various mineral water tubs and loungers
A rock hot tub filled with mineral water is foregrounded against a background of desert plants and a blue sky with just a few wispy white clouds

truly no one has ever suffered as Jodi Picoult is suffering

apnews.com/article/jodi...
Excerpt from the Associated Press: “I’m pretty sure I’m the first author who has now had censorship occur in two different types of media,” Picoult says. “Honestly, I’m not out here to be salacious. I am writing the world as it is, and I am honestly just trying to write about difficult issues that people have a hard time talking about because that is what fiction and the arts do.”

I was married, but I'm not married anymore. Women don't like the vehicle
Leonardo da Vinci's sketch of the "aerial screw", his early concept for a helicopter. From Wikipedia: The design comprises a large structure, built on a solid circular platform, with a central vertical pole supported by three diagonal members meeting at a small circular plate about halfway up the pole. The upper half of the pole is the supportive axis for a large spiralling sail of linen with a radius of about 5 m (16 ft), stiffened with starch. The inner edge of the sail winds clockwise around the pole, while the outer edge of the sail is connected by ropes or wires to a ring that rotates around the lower platform. The design envisions a crew of several people on the wooden platform running around the central pole while holding handles that rotate the sail.

a nice thing about moving to the Deepest Suburbs is that when we have work retreats I usually have to come down a day early

you ever make a french apple cake that is nevertheless an American Pie www.eatingwell.com/best-fall-de...
A picture of a rectangular apple cake. The top is covered in round apple slices. They have been layered in a spiral that narrows to round hole in the top of the layers that is perfectly sized to stick your dick in if you are starting in a raunchy 1990s teen comedy.

Excerpt from article linked in previous post: Isabel Campoy said she was another victim of the vicious squirrel and was hospitalized from her wounds after coming into contact with the rodent on a walk. "Squirrel went from the floor tried to jump up to my face, I tried to protect my face, my arm was completely overcome by squirrel," Campoy told KGO. "Finally it jumped off, by then I was full of blood, I run to the emergency room."

I'm about to correctly guess the outcome of 1,000 coin flips between 41% and 56% percent of the time and blow NPR's entire mind
In spring training this year, players collectively challenged more than 1,000 balls and strikes. The umpire's calls were overturned just over half the time. Catchers, correct 56% of the time, were the most effective at challenging, and pitchers, at 41%, were the least. MLB reported that each challenge added around 14 seconds to the duration of a game.

some people suck
an Artistic Photograph of a black dog in profile against a black background, dramatically lit so the sheen of the dog's fur is outlining its head. Headline reads: "Dogs don't like certain people and there's an explanation." The article is click bait trash about dust mites, which sounds like something someone who sucks and is hated by dogs would try to sell you

There she is, didn't even vote. No opinion on honoring fascists either way, like trying to decide whether to get Mexican or Chinese for takeout, she's fine with whatever you guys want.

Wouldn't know a principle if it fell out of a clear blue sky and hit her on the head.
A list of 26 House member, 22 of them Democrats, who did not vote on honoring fascist Charlie Kirk. Notably (to me) including Norma Torres of CA-35, a Democrat with the political principles of a junkyard chunk of concrete

the timeline has a solution for you, time to update Trixie's job description
Screenshot of two adjacent posts. First post: "I don't love working from home, but it's happening enough that I might buy an actual desk instead of setting up my monitors on the dining table" Second post: "If you work for yourself or generally have unstructured days I really recommend getting a bossy little dog who will jump on you when it’s time to stop working and take a walk."

he WAS following it around with a loaded rifle, I'd feel pretty fucking provoked if a dude with a rifle was following me
“Asher was fatally injured in a sudden and unprovoked attack by an unwounded buffalo he was tracking together with one of our professional hunters and one of our trackers,” Hans Vermaak, whose family runs the safari company, said in a statement.

you could make a tight 90 minute horror movie out of this, if your protaganist is actually sympathetic, instead of being Jack Dorsey
Brian Hiatt for Rolling Stone: What was your most memorable encounter with Zuckerberg? Jack Dorsey: Well, there was a year when he was only eating what he was killing. He made goat for me for dinner. He killed the goat. Q: In front of you? A: No. He killed it before. I guess he kills it. He kills it with a laser gun and then the knife. Then they send it to the butcher. Q: A . . . laser gun? A: I don’t know. A stun gun. They stun it, and then he knifed it. Then they send it to a butcher. Evidently in Palo Alto there’s a rule or regulation that you can have six livestock on any lot of land, so he had six goats at the time. I go, “We’re eating the goat you killed?” He said, “Yeah.” I said, “Have you eaten goat before?” He’s like, “Yeah, I love it.” I’m like, “What else are we having?” “Salad.” I said, “Where is the goat?” “It’s in the oven.” Then we waited for about 30 minutes. He’s like, “I think it’s done now.” We go in the dining room. He puts the goat down. It was cold. That was memorable. I don’t know if it went back in the oven. I just ate my salad.
