Also, fyi, Ronald Lauder is pushing Trump on Greenland. Lauder companies include Aveda, Le Labo, Origins, and the Ordinary, so boycotting them is a good idea. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

I have a legendarily terrible sense of direction which makes it even worse. One time, pre-GPS and during the Big Dig, I tried to get to Newton from Harvard Square and ended up at Logan. But then once I was there I knew how to get where I wanted to go!

Years ago one of my roommates brought an iRobot Scooba home for a robotics class project and it was amazing at cleaning the trashed kitchen floors after a party. We asked if she really needed to return it at the end of the semester

You might be able to find something among women's sweater blazers (& coordinating pants) if you're willing and able to do that. (They exist for men, just not as common.) Jersey is actually the construction of the fabric; it's knit, not woven, but it can be any fiber. www.talbots.com/sweater-blaz...

Maybe they’re trying to destroy every “liberal” studio from the inside so the only ones left are those that make Hallmark Christmas movies and the “Left Behind” series. (That seems like an awful lot of forethought for them, though)

I think one reason a good-sized chunk of people liked it was due to when it was released at the beginning of Trump 1, and the Jyn Erso speech quoting Saw Gerrera about one fighter with a sharp stick was galvanizing. St. Crispin’s Day speech in space

Ahaha as someone interested in perfumes and knowing how L'Oreal has destroyed so many storied houses (Yves Saint Laurent for one), this might be incredibly bad news for Nvidia.

I tried. I sent a note saying I was puzzled by the decision with a link to a Nieman Lab article about people like Anne Helen Petersen leaving Substack. Got a polite response but I don’t think I swayed anything
