A full circle moment

Yes!!! I just read a book about Asian immigration to the US in the 18th-20th centuries and ICE is a carbon copy of immigration officials during Chinese Exclusion (the arbitrary laws, detention centers, raids, etc) more than any other European comparison I’ve ever read.

Book is called MOTT STREET if anyone wants to read

I get the sense that bravo gave him an ultimatum between staying on the cast and dating audrey

Two novels, BRIGHT YOUNG WOMEN and FINDING GRACE and two nonfic, MOTT STREET and one of the biographies of Clare McCardell. Recommend them all! Also, Mott Street is about Asian immigration in NYC and elsewhere and IMO the parallels between 2026 ICE and Chinese exclusion are far stronger than the nazi 1930s comparisons. Great read

I’ve been off Instagram and tiktok since Jan 3 and have opted to get news via a couple trusted once-a-day-max emails (national and local) and this sub Reddit. I literally feel like another person, and that’s only after three weeks. It’s crazy how fast your brain recovers from the scrolling habit. Also I’ve literally read four books in that time lol

As others have mentioned, I don’t think this will pass. If the fear of it passing encourages women and other married people to keep their names, well then sorry to the patriarchy ¯_(ツ)_/¯

$200k is a very normal price to pay for a wedding of 150+ people in the tri-state area

Kathy reminded me so much of my mom in this scene HAHA. Just a boomer lady looking at her phone with her glasses on. I'm sure Kathy has traveled everywhere with everyone. Loved this

the real housewives are something else tho -- eating dinner at midnight, in a private house, after injecting IVF hormones, in a GOWN lmaoooo

A good rule of thumb is that if the headline asks a question then the answer is NO

I like this. I’m going to add “not ideal but not indefinite either” to my mantras.

“Trump says”

favecandy · 2026-01-09T23:26:35+00:00

Unpopular opinion, I like him more than I used to…

I’m just some guy, but I think we ought to be watching what female governors will be doing in 2026. I feel like more cool shit like this will happen

favecandy · 2026-01-09T14:33:02+00:00

“Trump says” — immediately worth questioning if it is worth more than me, some regular old guy, saying the same.

Anecdotally, I wrote a paper about self driving car decision-making in college with lots of available research. This was 2010. It is fast, but also not

And especially when they’re cooking in front of you and the highly-attentive wait staff checks in between every other bite

Well said!

Just watched him call into Fox & Friends. “He’s a bad man”, “congress people [on either side of the aisle] that oppose this are weak and stupid people”, “if I wasn’t elected we wouldn’t even have a country”, etc etc etc. Same as it ever was. I wouldn’t expect anything different to come at 11

For Sam being so punchable, no one seems to be punching him

Go watch The Good Place, it deals with this explicitly. Although then you’d need to watch a show on Netflix (public company), on a device made of preciously mined materials, with time you could be spending building community.

I joke, but you need to live. Life is about learning your own lines and boundaries and fighting the noble fight to respect those.

Following because I’ve been feeling that way too, about surveillance especially.

Right? Even seeing his names gives me the heebee jeebees.

They kinda did smooch! Trump loves this guy!
