Vogue - Giorgio Armani, who designed the uniform of aspiration that both defined the 1980s and shaped the course of fashion beyond it, has died at the age of 91. https://www.vogue.com/article/giorgio-armani-the-italian-designer-who-changed-the-shape-of-fashion-has-died
so incredibly arrogant and contemptible. can't wait to receive my next LACMA missive begging me to renew my membership.
cold as ice 🎶 😹
see season 2 of Gray's Anatomy when Izzie cut Denny's lvad wire for reasons. Shonda Rhimes, always ahead of the curve.
not looking at the responses to this post could be scary
always a good thing to remind adults to help keep kids safe by keeping with up with the diphtheria/tetanus/pertussis vaccine
and whoops, i just added one more. and because my new student was having problems completing the add i accompanied her to admissions and had them do it for her. lol, my peeps at admissions are teh best
that is so cool!
wasn't keeping track, just realized i am now 12 over cap and plan to add one more (refuge from online class). might need to drop by an 'splain myself to my dean, lol.
she sounds like an awesome hire. GO MAM!
A quarter of House Republicans' 219-member caucus have spent money at Trump properties already this term. This overwhelming number is a chilling testament to their embrace of Trump’s conflicts of interest.
This level of corruption is not normal or acceptable. Even if we are exhausted by each report of it going further and further, we can never grow numb to it.
my primary doctor LOVES when i am proactive, a behavior she's worked diligently to encourage in me so i stop flaking off. tbh, what's helped turn the corner for me is her habit of scheduling for me a "next" visit to see her. i'm now the poster child of truly "managed" care. 😹
😹 i see an audiologist this Thursday. my hearing isn't a problem, so far as i know. i know i've lost some pitch range, but i still all too often need to "help" my film students identify sounds present in film mixes. i want to set a base line for where i am.
when i was a kid, my mom made something like this as a main dish, usually served with buttered toast, a green salad, a fruit salad, and a jello salad (or the new jello 1-2-3, a fave).
Republicans are a cancer upon the U.S. economy.
i love roll call few things brighten my day more
finished my day of zoom classes and office meetings. talking into a screen exhausting. going to watch some Trek.
Health officials urge consumers not to eat Trader Joe’s frozen uncured pepperoni pizza
holy heck
Canceled your subscription yet?
This is insanely ahistorical. The Department of Defense was an all new creation in 1947, specially to bring together the disparate armed services. The “Department of War” was really just the army. I hate how stupid Trump’s most performative actions are.
Fuck this dude!
his consultants help him figure out ways to sell books, talks, and get booked on pundit shows, podcasts, etc.
Do y'all sit around and workshop these complainst about Dems? Because the buzzwords/phrases just keep expanding... "corporate/consultant driven" lol! I read several replies in threads yesterday from leftists using that same language.
Republicans are an existential threat to the nation and the world.
RFK, Jr. is Making America Sick Again. abcnews.go.com/Health/forme...
So she's defending what amounts to lying under oath, among other things Republicans in confirmation hearings do routinely now.
ALSO SPEAKING OF NEWS There's dozens of articles about a little boy, 11, murdered in Texas. Jist is, the little boy was playing ding dong ditch (which may be annoying but it's a little kid thing, I did it as a kid) and someone came out, and as the little boy was running off, shot him in the back
knee-slapper!
just spent more time watching Funky than i've spent on nate silver over the past year or five
apparently not until yesterday 😹
he's not a journalist, he's a megaphone that believes the only correct response to his "thinking" is silent awe. jeez, what a ninny. 😹
is he having a stroke? should someone call someone?
the flag burners did this sort of thing at AIDS protests.

the Teamster's leadership stupidly believed the GOP's economic policy. the rank and file were less easily (bought) taken.
i'm sorry for his victim's family, who had to endure the loss of their family member while also enduring a film franchise in celebration of a murderer.
he's a megaphone that had a meltdown when too many clapped back. he wants to "influence" but has no interest in engagement (3 following, ffs). bsky is nothing but a means to sell (books) and self-promote (his tv show) and now his tantrum has undermined his grift.

just blocked another racist who imagines themselves a champion of the revolution
he is so adorable
❤️
that dweeb ali velshi blocked me after i told him to take a seat. michael avenatti did the same after i told him to take a seat, and look what happened to him 😹
😹
cold, but funny
MSNBC has made Trump the center of the universe, giving him endless oxygen while Democratic wins barely get a mention. That doesn’t build confidence, it feeds despair.
Every Dem family fight gets magnified into “the party in disarray,” while GOP fractures are brushed aside. It divides us when we need to project strength.
Ad astra, Roseana 🖖💜
why wasn't Dean Cain driving. or was he? 😹
looking forward to "interviews" with the head of security. those should be a treat.
old cadaver, holy smokes 😹
it was truly hilarious. Stel must have taken 100 photographs. I managed to catch her axe throw in three sequenced shots. have to admit it was pretty amazing. she hit the bullseye.
this dipshit follows 3. holy hell. he's not even pretending to be anything other than a social media grifter
take a seat, grifter
Public safety in California is on the rise. Last year, California had the second-lowest homicide rate since at least 1966, decreasing by nearly 12% overall since 2023. We're going to drive that progress forward up and down the state.
ouch 😹
he and/or his people will always attempt to rehabilitate his image into "America's mayor." i hope his story of rendering aide will hold up. i won't be surprised if it does not. the details remind vaguely of an incident involving Tom Cruise, also a former mayor of Milwaukee.
But he’s going to bring back shipping.🙄🙄🙄
like the grifters that they are, Stein and West only show when there showing up means $$$ to line their pockets.
as stupid people go, he really takes the cake
❤️
😹 was to a CA ren fair once in the company of a friend visiting from the Netherlands, who was born in Hong Kong and raised in Suriname. she had such a blast chatting up everyone (though her Dutch accented English and Spanish seriously confused people), eating absurd food and throwing an axe.
The Da Vinci Code, but smart
but that's everywhere. also, i have not caught the scent of alewives in years, man, does that take me back
i love my hometown, Milwaukee more, but holy hell, Chicago is amazing. galleries, museums, food, an architectural wonder.
just turned off the tv so i could listen to Charlotte eat. always makes me happy.
yikes, sorry to hear this!
one day after we skated on Skynet day should we be concerned?
The New York Times ran a whole piece speculating that Joe Biden had Parkinson’s and suggesting his neurologists were lying to the public. archive.ph/0u9ht
The problem: Mortgages signed by the Paxtons contained inaccurate statements declaring that each of those three houses was their primary residence, enabling the now-estranged couple to improperly lock in low interest rates, according to an Associated Press review of public records.
You would think that documenting these effects - on farms, in meat-packing plants, in the garment industry, and restaurants would be a popular beat for reporters in MSM.
RFK, Jr. is not keeping us safe and is not the guy for this job.
Republicans are a cancer on the nation and the world
wonder what Kevin Sorbo, who has capitalized on the Walking Tall movies, has to say about this. i am doubtful Sorbo will experience a moral epiphany
holy f---
oh, that sounds so good.
thank you for what you do. i realize how disheartening all of this is and i appreciate your efforts to serve the public.
the people who assert govt employees are lazy and inefficient are self-reporting on themselves

NEW: my office has received disturbing whistleblower reports that the Trump administration plans to separate 700 children from their families, lawyers, and support systems. Disappearing vulnerable children beyond the reach of American law and oversight is beyond depravity.
😹
yay, Penzeys!
Lucy has always been a superhero!
state government handles flu vaccination, why not Covid, too. i say this wishing my college's nursing program would offer Covid and flu vaccine clinics. sure, I'm getting injected for clinical practice, but why not. 😹
just did my longest AM walk in two weeks and now i am icing down both knees (one preventative), lol. will do some light upper body lifting in a bit. this is how i will get it all back.
good to hear!
Happy Birthday!!! dear and magnificent Lucy!!! love you to forever and back ❤️
tbh, i'm proud of my governor's efforts to fight back, just as i am proud of my former state attorney general, senator, and vice-president who should be president.
i agree
hooray!
the social media influencers that have been fighting this are losing
Newsom's social media team's proven the effectiveness of clapping back. i don't think this will be Newsom's road to higher office. i'm not even sure he thinks that. i've no idea what is his endgame. but i am thinking more and more will be clapping back hard, as some already were, see Sen. Smith
both sound good to me!
i agree it's off-putting. i usually look for how others are responding. the skater dudes that circuit along the main drag near me routinely flip-off these peeps. never fails to make me grin.
