The idea that each year produces a few unofficial "songs of the summer" has been rattling around for ages. But do we have a strong contender this year?

My girl @haleyanne.bsky.social will appreciate this. Walked into the thrift store telling myself I’d find a woven leather belt, some good vinyl, and a vintage Dooney and Bourke.
Walked out with all three.

I just saw someone genuinely confused (as in their comments weren't ragebait or a joke) why Peter Parker/Spider-Man wasn't in Superman since "they all work at the same newspaper."
I have not had enough coffee yet this morning for this sort of silliness.

I've already seen five separate Snyder Cultists go from aggressively pre-hating James Gunn's #Superman to all but screaming its praises.

So. #Ironheart I didn't hate it. It wasn't bad. There are genuinely kickass moments & it digs into themes of grief & trauma that I love exploring. But there are also some pacing issues & a few things that I really didn't love at all. Overall, worth a watch.
Especially for the grief/trauma aspect.

I remember the announcement that we'd entered the Gulf War when I was a kid. I remember feeling sick and anxious. I remember when we entered the second Gulf War, I was a young adult and I felt sick and angry.

I recently got my first Labubu and let me tell you, it's delightful and brought me a bunch of joy.
Labubus are a global sensation — sparking long lines outside toy stores, selling out online within minutes, and listing for double or triple their original price on resale markets. Here's why.
