Just a bunch of Bengali Muslim girls in 1995. (I’m the girl in the big white Quincenera dress.)

Ramadan Mubarak!

And it looks like the DOJ’s antitrust case against Live Nation is still on…https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-03-13/live-nation-loses-bid-to-toss-doj-antitrust-case

Bawling at the end of Anora was not prepared for this.

I would like to read a 10,000 word essay on the fashion of this year’s Oscars and what it reveals about the state of the country.

For companies who used AI to screen job candidates and eventually decided to SWITCH back to screening manually: what happened?

'What did you do last week?' email stokes confusion and anger among federal workers Elon Musk's claim that federal workers who ignore a mass email will lose their job isn't supported by the email's request — or OPM guidance that says responses to its mass emails are "voluntary."

My mother who is a VA doc got this e-mail. Not sure people realize how many federal government employees perform critical services. www.npr.org/2025/02/23/n...

I am a lot more high-strung/stressed/prepared for natural or manmade disasters than the Amrita in White Lotus….

If you’re looking for any good video editors, let me know! I know of a stellar one who just wrapped up a season of Chef’s Table.

Oh you know I love a good vibe shift.

There’s a small group of people who I trust to report thoroughly on this crash. Jon and his team are outstanding.

Can’t imagine what it must be like to be a family member of one of the passengers on that jet right now. Truly devastating beyond words.

Newly sworn-in Transportation Sec Sean Duffy says he’s currently at FAA HQ.

Water temperatures in the Potomac River at this time of night is estimated to be about 35 degrees, Fox 5 DC reports. Meaning it’s very unlikely most of the 60+ passengers are still alive.

Is that rain I see?

Ugh, tell me about it….

CAMP LA is providing free vet care to the pets of evacuees of the LA fires, including fire-related injuries (burns, smoke inhalation), medication refills, and exams.

Just emailed you!

Holy crap this girl saved Kurt Cobain’s daughter’s cat from the Palisades fire due to a Nextdoor post.

Going to start a support group for people who only live 1-2 blocks away from a red flag/evacuation warning zone. Let’s bond over our half-packed go bags and our obsessive checking of the Watch Duty app.

Seriously…why is the only episode of Magic School Bus that anyone remembers the one where Carlos gets sick and the entire class takes a field trip into his body?

If LA does NYC-style congestion pricing, I imagine it’ll hit working and middle class commuters who live outside the city (i.e. the Valley) the hardest. Most will just pay the toll.

A 30-40 minute drive from Van Nuys to West LA is equal to 2 hrs (and 3 transfers!) on public transit.

Ashwagandha gummies and/or a hot shower. I also have an app that keeps track of the calories and $$ I save by not drinking and sends me annoying alerts about the dangers of alcohol. Good luck, you’ve got this!

It’s not just tickets and fees: How Live Nation quietly takes your money at every possible opportunity The entertainment giant owns or partners with so many brands that it stuffs its pockets with your money in ways you don’t even realize....

From $70 parking to $20 lawn chair rentals, here’s how Live Nation has made the concert experience more expensive. My first piece for @sherwoodnews.bsky.social

I could not sit silent while an elected official who spreads hate & lies that are getting trans people killed pretends to care about the future of the Internet. So I spoke up during Rep Nancy Mace's speech at the Project Liberty Summit & I would do it again www.fightforthefuture.org/news/2024-11...

I’ve noticed a few female CT drivers on the road and seen a bunch on TikTok. Want to take one for a test drive myself soon but curious about the experience for those with short limbs…

Any petite women out there weighing whether to purchase a Cyber Truck?

Easily my favorite Pitchfork review, cheers to the total asshole who penned this pitchfork.com/reviews/albu...
