I love you. Truly. But I do not need to know your terrible taste in music for the last year. All of the terrible songs and mediocre artists you enjoy. It’s mid. I don’t need to know it.
I still love you. I promise.

EHA being in Philly at the same time as the Eagles’ banner night is:

I gotta say, as a Jew, it’s incredibly fucked up and sad that Elon Musk and Grok being Nazi sympathizers hasn’t caused a mass exodus (or coordinated boycott) from X.

Others have already pointed out the dozen or so more urgent reasons why this sucks but another is just that doing research at the national archives really is so damn cool. I’m sad for all the historians that are likely going to be shutout.
