I've never stayed more in my lane as when I'm enjoying figure skating. I feel happy for everyone who wins and sad for everyone who doesn't and the particular internal politics of the sport is none of my business. Respectfully, I ain't touching that.

Child: My favorite one is a gold snake that can move. It has gold eyes, and it has a super-duper tail…
Reporter: Mr. Mamdani, the second question for you.
Mamdani: Yes. It’s also the golden snake."

No Travis Kelce at the Super Bowl and no Taylor Swift at the Grammys this year. Not sure what it means but feels significant.

it ought to be interesting to see who winds up winning the super bowl this year. both the patriots and seahawks made it, so it’s going to be a real “battle of the nfl teams” type of situation

As we’ve seen before, I fear the ratings will be weaponized, more about the writer or artist than album. Ask authors how they feel about Goodreads and reviewbombing. And when I ran a blog a million years ago, my mental health suffered because people attacked me for my reviews on occasion.
