“If Bret Easton Ellis, Augusten Burroughs and Don DeLillo were to meet up for dinner, Self would be a logical fourth.” As if I would ever go out to dinner. nytimes.com/2024/09/16/books…

Dynastic white man seated, smug as fuck, arms crossed, gin-bloated face blathering on about it's OK he dumped dead baby bear in Central Park, unidentified white woman stands arm-reach away in silence. $5,000 Tom Ford suit jacket slung over chair. Last name drenched in La Prairie

I'm rooting for Gabby Thomas. This is the type of woman I want my daughters to look up to. She smiles even when the outcome doesn't go her way, she’s hardworking, polite, tough, dedicated, kind, smart, and super humble. Some of the many reasons the world loves her. #Olympic2024

I’ve gone from utter disgust that Trump will win to feeling 100% certain voters will elect a highly experienced and intelligent Black woman to be the first female president of the United States and that SHE will make America great again

"We hope you fall off a ladder" would be a better marketing outreach message from @PhysicianOne_UC b/c at least it wouldnt be "we miss you" insincere. "While we always wish you well," comma reads as "however" so well-wishes are conditional. hilariously inept marketing

Same "paperwork" that has kept "Starliner" stranded @ the space station? And how many times has the 737 MAX 9 fleet been grounded? Boeing’s CEO, David L. Calhoun, received $32.8 million in 2023; a 45% increase over 2022, when Boeing reported almost 3 billion in losses. Paperwork.

in 1999's A Map of the World, Sigorney Weaver's character makes a darkly sarcastic comment that today would be interpreted literally, seen as "making light" of child abuse and cruelty to animals, and cut from the film.
