Came for the cult vibes, stayed for the stunning lyrical atmospheric exploration of grief and hope.
One of the things I love most of Bostonโs North End in the winter is the smell. You walk by Mikeโs, you can practically taste the powdered sugar in the air. North Square is saturated (in the best way) with garlic.
I never donโt leave this neighborhood somehow simultaneously full and starving.
Rest well, Renee Nicole Good.

In his speech, Hegseth promised to continue firing officers seen as unsupportive of the presidentโs agenda.
โFor too long, weโve promoted too many uniformed leaders for the wrong reasons โ based on their race, based on gender quotas, based on historic so-called firsts,โ Hegseth said.

Americans call him a fascist because he is a fascist
what Pritzker is doing would be unexceptional if he wasn't the only one with a leadership role consistently doing it! like yes, the bar is low, but barely anyone is clearing it
โThe oath says enemies foreign and domesticโฆ well, we also have domestic.โ
Trump tells the generals he plans to use the military against Americans
The basic infrastructures that allow women to be participants in public lifeโbirth control & abortion access, no fault divorce, childcare access & affordability, civil rights law in employment and public accommodations, the minimal efforts to mitigate sexual and domestic violenceโare all crumbling.
Trump to generals: "Last month, I signed an executive order to provide training for a quick reaction force that can help quell civil disturbances. This is gonna be a big thing for the people in this room, because it's the enemy from within & we have to handle it before it gets out of control"

Did he just declare war on four American cities?
Trump to top military officials: "I told Pete, we should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military. National Guard, but our military. Because we're going into Chicago very soon. That's a big city with an incompetent governor. Stupid governor."

The letter that Pete Hegseth's mom wrote to him in 2018 is incontestably damning. Moms often have such selectively rosy sentiments toward their sons that we have cliches about it. But Pete was such a monumental shithead to women that his mom could not stay silent. Incredible stuff.
I will leave this here because it happened! On camera!
