If Trump thinks slavery wasn’t bad, he clearly needs to spend more time in a museum.
Anyone who thinks there’s ANYTHING GOOD about enslaving human beings has no business running ANY country…much less the world’s most influential democracy.
Outrageous and un-American.

At the end of the day, don’t we all just want to read Bram Stoker’s Dracula in a dimly-lit café on a cobblestone side street in Prague during a pouring rain whilst enjoying cappuccinos and croissants?

I’m teaching a grad seminar on American religion this semester, and am really excited to introduce my students to these phenomenal books.

All I want is a full moon, a Victorian mansion with an ominous backstory, a vintage copy of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, a purring cat, a kettle on the stove, a crackling fire, a basket of freshly-baked emotional support pastries, and the heartwarming sound of owls in the distance.

Watched the Ruby Franke documentary and the husband does not seem to feel true remorse for his role in what happened. It seems like he just misses his wife and the money/fame from their YT videos. The way the oldest daughter doesn’t call him dad or associate with him either speaks volumes.

Just finished that Ruby Franke docuseries…Kevin hated the vlogging but was won over by an $80 check. He knew connexions was a cult but bought in bc they made him feel like an alpha. I just know he wouldn’t have stopped the abuse if he was in the house. #DevilInTheFamily

Trump promised on day one he would bring prices down.
More than a month in and gas, groceries, rent, cars, and eggs all cost more...
And yet what are Republicans focused on today?
Gutting Medicaid so they can give tax cuts for billionaires.

THE BOOK OF THE UNNAMED MIDWIFE by @megelison.bsky.social.
What a wonderful novel. Follows a midwife wandering a post-plague America secretly supplying birth control to outnumbered, enslaved women. Humane & complicated & messy & dire & inspiring. And, wow, TIMELY.

I hear what you guys are saying about the Oscars, and how they're a celebration of life, and the show must go on, blah-blah-blah, so-on-and-so-forth. It all makes a degree of sense, but to me it still feels like Nero fiddling while Rome burns. Or in this case, wearing fancy clothes while LA burns.

It’s too bad he hasn’t been president for the past 4 years and could have done some of this stuff
In his farewell address, Biden calls for:
An end to dark money
18 year term limit on Supreme Court Justices and ethics reform
A ban on stock trading in Congress
Amending the Constitution to say no president is immune from crimes committed in office

Even the rich and famous can’t afford to retire anymore
I wrote about how we've improbably entered a new golden age of TV shows about characters in their golden years, including A Man on the Inside, Hacks, Only Murders in the Building, and Matlock:
Stand Down, Youngs. Old People Are Taking Over TV
'A Man on the Inside,' 'Hacks,' and 'Matlock' are putting older stars like Ted Danson, Kathy Bates, Jean Smart, and more, back in the spotlight

One of these days I need to sit down and talk about the connection between the 1890s cult of masculinity dudes and the cult of masculinity that exists today, because the comparisons are both striking and also reveal that most of what is happening today is a grift
Zuckerberg starting to do Brazilian jiu-jitsu and immediately becoming a Rogan brained culture warrior is the most predictable thing I've ever seen
