A hearty LOL at this news story about how trends come back around after 20 years. Who knew?

Hot tip: I do recommend blasting “Decepticon” in your car while you collect yourself to face the day. Loved this episode of Song Exploder.

Seriously, why do I have such a vivid primal memory of watching this as a child?
Really enjoying this classic Sesame Street segment, two minutes of freestyle jazz riffing on saxophone factory footage

If the reason you go long is that a lot of people talk warmly about their feelings and other people's work, it's fine with me.
I like how the Oscars this year is basically saying "fuck it, we're celebrating the art of movies and we are going LONG tonight we don't care"

My hot take is that Ralph Fiennes truly deserved an Oscar for his performance as Voldemort. He had to bring to life something that was unspeakably scary and evil and nailed it. He studied Martha Graham for movement inspiration. C'mon, what more do we want? #oscars

My first Oscars on Bluesky. The vibes are different, but surely must be better than whatever bot comment chaos I'd endure on the other app. #oscars

it is clear what Sesame Street needs to do at this critical juncture: have Lady Gaga come on and sing a version of Abracadabra called “Abby Cadabby”

I have been so struck by how small our world is. Although I didn’t directly know anyone on this tragic flight, I know 3 people who did — including someone whose child lost so many in her figure skating community. It’s a sobering reminder of how connected we are, and the ripple effect of tragedy.

In my fuzzy memory, the true heyday was like, Christine Lahti running from the bathroom and Robin Williams just riffing to fill time.
