Haven’t seen much of Etoile, but the show’s first episode does feature a fantastic intro of Lou de Laage as Cheyenne, rogue prima ballerina.

And hey, solidarity w/ Cheyenne, too. In real life, lots of the forces and people harming our society deserve to get zinged w/ a solid line like this.

I heard this is Reacher’s next opponent

I don’t know what I was doing in my life up until now that was so important that I didn’t catch up with Dickinson.

Latest ever on this but: it is fantastic and acutely funny.

The robot is accurate. I parked my 2024 houseboat at “Right Back to It” back in March when Waxahatchee’s Tiger Blood hit. “You just settle in/Like a song with no end” indeed…

Think if somebody slipped me one of these, I’d definitely watch the video presentation, and call the number. Chances are good I’d even make it to the lockbox phase. I’m too curious.

Also in the reading queue and so relevant right now? ‘Hanging Out: The Radical Power of Killing Time’ by Sheila Liming, a book I believe I was first hipped to via @thegurglingcod.bsky.social.

In addition to revisiting Sisterhood of Dune for reasons, this week also feels like the right time, after that election, for me to read Tom Nichols’ ‘The Death of Expertise.’
