Meanwhile, Tarantino wanted to turn “A Piece of the Action” of all episodes into a movie, which is all I needed to never take him seriously again.
I haven’t seen There Will Be Blood, but I have seen Paul Dano in Prisoners, 12 Years A Slave, Swiss Army Man, Love & Mercy, The Fabelmans and The Batman which is enough to know he’s a generational talent

Usually I’m excited to try and figure out how the Color of the Year will influence makeup, but I don’t know what you do with this if you’re not Ben Nye.

You read that white: Pantone's 2026 Color of the Year is 'Cloud Dancer'
This is the first time Pantone has chosen a shade of white. The company says it's "a lofty white that serves as a symbol of calming influence in a society rediscovering the value of quiet reflection."

I believe that community reads are magical experiences. Reading together, and yes—disagreeing together—can help us bridge gaps, open conversations, and rediscover community.
We need more of that these days, not less. #wishtree

I wish I could remember who said it, but once heard that GenAI doesn’t give answers, it gives answer-shaped responses. This is a great example of what that means.

This is really important. Both in the fact of IMLS reinstating grants. (Which have been *crucial* for libraries and civic life across the country. Notably in rural areas.)
And in the example that the overall stalwartness and rigor of federal district/circuit courts has made a huge difference.
And in the example that the overall stalwartness and rigor of federal district/circuit courts has made a huge difference.
IMLS announces "upon further review" that it is reinstating all federal grants to libraries. It leaves out that it's doing this because a federal court told them a few weeks ago that the Trump admin's decision to destroy libraries was not legal.

The call was put out for chaotic Thanksgiving stories, and (thankfully) nothing that's happened to me yet has ever managed to top this.
Not my story, but I don't think this acquaintance is on Bluesky, so...one year, she and her family went out to a remote cabin in the wood for Thanksgiving, in an area with wild turkeys. At some point, her dad decided he wanted a real pioneer Thanksgiving.
You can probably guess where this is going.
