I hope Trump enjoyed the Bondi floor show yesterday. It was like a Hollywood Squares full of Democrats.

That #HeatedRivalry storyline didn’t work out so well IRL for the #Blackhawks.

An attorney for Colorado Rep. Jason Crow, one of the Democrats targeted by the Justice Department over the “illegal orders” video, went on offense in a letter to US attorney Jeanine Pirro, saying he will take legal action if prosecutors try again to indict him: https://cnn.it/4amMtM8

As athletes compete in Italy, the future of the Winter Olympics hangs in the balance. People are not just questioning how to keep the Games alive, but whether they should be kept alive at all. https://cnn.it/3OwERzg

Over the past year, Costco has taken a risk by adopting visible public stances at odds with President Donald Trump’s agenda. It makes Costco one of the few big companies to defy the administration — and get away with it: https://cnn.it/4qrfjB7

Ron Vachris does not fit the profile of a typical risk-taking executive.

Yes, there was beauty and power in the vampires' music. That was intentional. Maybe the whole vampire bit was a metaphor about the commercialization of folk musics -- literally sucking the blood from them.

If we're in the "take-down" portion of pre-Oscars-hype, I'm interested in why people think "One Battle After Another" is such hot shit.

That's not true. The Blues is about making joy and art out of suffering.

Ultimately, Coogler has the cultural right to a take on black music that is different than how other people have chosen to mythologize it.

It’s the difference between “sell my soul to be really good at the blues” and ”the devil wants to play the blues as good as I do.” That is significant.

That sequence and movie was not about a stereotypical “fighting with the Devil” view of the blues. It was about the role of the musician in worldwide cultures to transmit history and spirituality. The vampires wanted to tap into that power. The blues is not all “crossroads/sell my soul” mythology.

Some 400 million years ago, an enigmatic organism towered over the landscape like a prehistoric monolith.

Now, new research makes the case that the ancient life form is not a plant, animal or fungi and instead may be a completely unknown form of multicellular life. https://cnn.it/4az10Wc

I basically can’t drive thru our little downtown for the foreseeable future despite major roads passing there bc twice in the last week they lobbed tear gas at protesters (which def also affected cars driving by). Tear gas is an abortifacient and I’m pregnant w twins.

Thanks, I feel protected now!
Are any politicians running on a platform of finally banning teargas? Like, that shit is banned for use in warfare but it seems like everyone is okay with it being lobbed at citizens on a regular basis.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

A cosmic-sized bottle of Pepto should do the trick. Reminds me of the "Gas-X" Marvel crossover event where Professor X and all the mutant teams slipped Galactus a gigantic simethicone chewable before his flatulence could destroy all life in the universe. @lukemeister.bsky.social
