If you're arrested in Illinois protesting the planned ICE HQ in North Chicago, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at sheryl@weikallaw.com. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.
I’m in 9b so we can just squeeze another round of corn before it gets cold
Mine fought over the feeders so bad I had to take them down!
Project Runway has been on for 20 plus seasons and I love it. But my constant pet peeve is how every season the designers seem surprised by the challenges when they are the same every season. Like…idk do a trial run at home on street wear, unconventional materials and avant garde design?
I want a few blackberry bushes, a couple pear trees, and an apricot tree then I think I’ll be satisfied with my home fruit situation.
Cardi B having to explain how being pregnant is a disability in court is wild, and it also demonstrates how we collectively refuse to believe we’re all temporarily abled and that status can be fluid.
Oh I had several mammoth sunflowers this summer. The squirrels really enjoyed them lol
Flowers the hummingbirds at our house seem to love in order of preference 🌱: 1. Purple larkspur 2. Mexican sunflower 3. Fuchsia colored zinnias
Went out today and direct sowed some corn, green beans, Lima beans, butternut squash, spaghetti squash, peas, and cucumbers. 🌱
Most likely culprit for sure
Had to be embarrassing and whole time the stadium is cheering
Something absconded with my nearly perfectly ripe sugar cube cantaloupe. 🌱
Why was crab involved? She ain’t say nothing bout no crab!!
He gave it his best effort but I must know why he put crab on the plate at all
I’ve found there are a few things I can start outside but I start most of them indoors
My first thought was it was too hot but I couldn’t find my humidity domes so I thought maybe a few days in the greenhouse would be a good substitute but it was too extreme
Best to stick with what I know works while the oven is still on outside lol
I haven’t given any garden updates here in a WHILE. 🌱 Well I tried starting seeds for my fall garden at the start of August but I had the bright idea to experiment with germinating them in my new greenhouse. Bad idea. Way too hot and humid in there so nothing sprouted. I will try again indoors….
🌱
When I don’t have a ton of flowers blooming in the yard I feel really bad for the bugs and birds. 🌱
My loofahs are coming in!!! I’m so excited about the idea of growing my own sponges.
Gretna police fired shots over the heads of evacuees streaming across the Crescent City Connection, as bullhorns blared for them to go back to New Orleans.
Few rap songs as inspiring as Ain’t Gon Let Up
Yeah they didn’t have a meeting before the meeting.
I’m ready to make some chili. It’s not chili weather yet but I need it now.
Saying this again: there is a scammer out there targeting newbie authors, claiming I'm one of their clients. They use different names, and I'm already pursuing legal action. But I have never worked with a PR company, editing service, or book packager, so anybody saying so is lying, period full stop.
There was a time when the Project Runway judges would’ve torn Yuchen a new one for constantly sending these ultra super mini skirts down the runway
The answer is that raids on homeless encampments are solely about punishing homeless people for being homeless and nothing else We already know on a societal level what actually decreases homelessness, and it’s giving people stable, free or highly affordable social housing if they need it
“FBI reported that fully 43 cities in those 3 states had higher rates of violent crime in 2024 than did DC. More than 1.2 million live in those cities, including more than 900,000 in Ohio alone. Yet that state’s National Guard is being deployed to DC to protect the capital’s 700,000-odd residents”
Pack out the trunk from the front to the back!! #Highest2Lowest
Accurate. Our outlet was at SDCC when Colin was pushing this on black creatives, and what's funny is that alot of us saw the jig with what he was presenting, hence why he got snubbed.
I knew that was gonna be Mrs. Bumpy Johnson coming down them stairs! Highest 2 Lowest is 🔥
Season 2 of Paradise has wrapped!!
Making the designers vote one of themselves off Project Runway is nuts.
Saw a video of people protesting Mamdani at SI and I’m realizing just how good The City We Became is. I knew it was a good story but I also knew that I was missing important context having never lived in NY.
This is not a massive decision or any kind of change. Costco has never carried mifepristone in its pharmacies. An anti-abortion group is taking credit for something that didn't happen, possibly to generate disingenuous left-wing ire against one of the few corporations that hasn't gone MAGA.
Americans are being conditioned to think of crime as an urban issue. Ask why. Alabama's murder rate is far higher than New York City's. Urban crime is not worse than rural crime. It's just more visible. In cities everything is more visible. So be careful what you blame city leaders for.
Roark Capital owns all of these restaurants and donates at extremely high levels to the 🐘 party. The owner of Jimmy John's donated at least 1.5 million to the Heritage Fund alone and has sold majority shares for 3 billion.
Science is a long game. Translational science, or clinical medicine is only possibly because of basic science discoveries where the clinical applications are not yet known. Also: Nobels are typically awarded for basic science… *exploratory* basic science. True story.
The national guard in a Black neighborhood is not a distraction, okay? That’s fascism. Yall are waiting for the “big thing” and he’s building it in your face.
No one wants to hear this, but it’s true. Either we can value education — not for a select few but for anyone willing to put in the effort — and provide the requisite resources, or we can watch it become a pursuit available only to an elite minority, with everyone else getting a cheap facsimile
Gladys really is living her best life with the Duke and George and Larry are freezing out Bertha for having strong armed the situation to make it happen.
Damn. Hate that for my girl Bertha.
Did not expect to see anyone get popped on The Gilded Age. How scandalous.
I do think this is indicative of the sheer absurdity of what we're living through. OpenAI is allegedly worth $500 billion - more than Netflix - and this is their brand new product that is meant to be super powerful. Does this really make a billion dollars a month? This thing? ChatGPT?
You shouldn't have to do "prompt engineering" to get a word machine to spell words.
“In a paper published in Nature Communications, the researchers have shown for the 1st time that mRNA can be delivered into the cells where HIV is hiding, by encasing it in a tiny, specially formulated fat bubble. The mRNA then instructs the cells to reveal the virus.” The virus can no longer hide!
Am I just an unknowing bunny?
I didn’t realize they were still out there protesting in LA. Good on them for standing strong.
Also enjoying Chief of War so far.
Furniture tip-overs can happen even when you're in the same room as your child. Always Anchor It!
Gotta say. Escape rooms. Don’t love em. Tried it twice thinking maybe the first was a dud. The group you are with can make or break the experience but it’s not an activity I would ever suggest.
This show wild af omg
Cutwater scares me. They be on TikTok fighting for they life after a couple cans.
Mildred getting fits OFF
I’m finally watching Ratched and they do a curious thing with the color red. Especially in the lipstick.
The best part of The Studio is Dave Franco
Got a bunch of fall seeds started today
Eyes of Wakanda is quite nice
Getting sent home on the first episode TWICE is crazy work. Hate to see it.
Project Runway is BACK!
We produce more than enough food for everyone in the US to ever go without any hunger at all, but we choose not to distribute access to food by distributing money for food. We could all be getting enough basic income to end poverty already, had we started small 50 yrs ago. Instead, we did this:
This was really wild because writing this article (which explained how female lions are in charge of the pride) really revealed to me how common it is for men to make male lions their entire personality and definition of manhood. I was dogpiled, brigaded, and attacked for WEEKS.
I wasn’t but I’m going to strictly because of the backlash. Gotta get a taste of “owning the libs”
FWIW, our decision to move The Reveal from Substack to Ghost recently was very scary because the newsletter is a big chunk of our livelihood. But the transition was seamless and we got a significant subscriber bump for doing it, too. Win-win!
I heard your hearts dancing!!!
Also when teachers were saying don’t use it as a source it was because Wikipedia didn’t site references at the time and didn’t have a review process for when articles were updated. That has since changed and Wikipedia is a great place to start as they site references now.
And the ‘Don’t use Wikipedia’ was about using it as a SOURCE because it’s not that. Do not quote the dark magic at me witch, I was there when it was written
These clips of Jim Jones trying to convince us that Pusha T hasn’t had any impact on hip hop is the most I’ve seen of or heard of him since *loses signal*
Watching the balloon boy doc and long story short that whole fiasco is on local pd. Because you searched a single family home 3 times and didn’t find that boy in the attic.
We watched these in kindergarten. Did not learn any French besides “peche” but it was entertaining.
I’m still in the middle of this The Resident binge. Damn. Rest easy Malcolm Jamal Warner. The great Dr. AJ Austin lives on.
Wow I am old because I get the reference and also I have not seen the reference in decades
In season 4 they’ve retconned AJ’s first name and recast his mom
You’re right. The Panthers don’t get enough recognition for the community work they did. The idea that someone who looks like me will show up for me, not a celebrity, but someone in my actual neighborhood >
Conrad gets fired in season 3 and gets blackballed from every hospital in Atlanta but with his dad’s resources he could easily start his own practice. But I know this is for the plot.
I’m binging The Resident and Dylan G is Dr. Austin’s brother. And he’s dressed exactly like Dylan G.
Morris Chestnut is a complete villain on The Resident
I need a big bag of pez. Strawberry.
You cannot be exposed at a public event like a concert. They did not break in his house from the ceiling with cameras lmao wtf yall even saying fr
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I didn’t care for Logan on Gilmore Girls but I’m fond of him on The Resident
Just started The Resident and Lane Hunter is a villain. Through and through.
My resident hummingbird did the same thing when I didn’t have the feeders out by the time he showed up for the season lol
Pez is so good
Mood 4 Eva is very close to being a perfect song
Oh I read this on a whim a while back. Picked it up at the airport and really enjoyed it!
Where are folks getting the bread that refuses to mold? All my bread still molds in 2.5 weeks.
Accidentally bought a seeded watermelon. Very frustrating experience. I didn’t know the small ones still came in the seeded variety
Your support doesn't have to be financial (although that might be appreciated right now), and it doesn't (and shouldn't) have to be performative or exotifying. Just see these people who have chosen to make their lives here with us and treat them like people. Not workers or "contributors," but people
My little pumpkins are coming in so that’s nice
Don’t get me wrong I love sweet treats and consume caffeine in excess. I also know canola oil is not any more “bad” for me than the oils they’re replacing it with, and is probably actually one of the healthier options as far as cooking oils go (not to mention much more affordable and accessible)
Wanted to add to this but couldn't reply or quote post: Stop using Grok, even as a joke, it's poisoning South Memphis!! www.theguardian.com/technology/2...
Here’s the bottom line for what’s going on with Grok - if the owner of the website is putting his thumb on the scale hard enough for the chatbot to turn into Goebbels, you should be deeply concerned about what he’s doing to the algorithm that you can’t so easily see, and what it’s doing to you

Old Guard 2 is literally just a setup for Old Guard 3. Very disappointing.
“Red states don’t care about blue states” “Texas voted for this” Hey did you know millions of different people live in states and they’re all individuals who each have their own differing views and actions
Watching this American Apparel documentary realizing I’ve never been inside an American Apparel and I actually thought this documentary was going to be about American Eagle.
