I don't want a city on Mars.
I don't want AI in every app.
I don't want data centres in space.
I want clean water.
I want a stable climate.
I want bees to survive.
The US women’s hockey team got a fancy meal in Milan with Stanley Tucci.
The Men’s Team got McDonalds in the White House with a dictator.
The women are the winners here.
Thank you Stanley Tucci. A class act all the way.
This is allyship.
This is standing up for women.
This is better than saying “not all men”.
These five US men’s hockey team members are refusing to go to the State of the Union and showing solidarity with the women’s team.
"Keep politics out of sports!" No. Kids are being scared out of participating in sports because of ICE. A German football ref was beat up TWICE because he proposed to his husband. And now someone shot up a fucking high school hockey game. Fuck off with that shit.
One day my mother casually said, 'we never worried about you, you always knew how to take care of yourself.
And it broke something quietly inside me. Because what sounds like pride also feels like loneliness. It means no one ever really looked too closely, no one wondered if the strong one was tired. It means I learned to carry the weight so well that no one thought to help me set it down. And maybe that's the silent cost of being 'capable, you stop being seen as someone who also needs softness. You become the safe place for everyone but never quite have one of your own. And in that moment, I realized strength had been my survival, but it had also been my isolation.
When Simone Biles pulled out from the Olympics in 2021 due to not being in the right mental place, critics piled on. When Lindsay Vonn stayed in the Olympics with a torn ACL, critics piled on. Women: make your choices on your own terms. @JosieCox_NYC

Grammys today. Reminder that Lady Gaga deserves to sweep the major categories. A once in a generation artist, groundbreaking, versatile and in a league of her own. Album of the Year belongs to her.
After a month of The Life of a Showgirl, my conclusion.
1. Tracks 1-4 best 4 track run in her discography.
2. Father Figure might be her best song ever.
3. The 2nd bridge of Father Figure is the best 30 seconds in her entire discography.
4. The album cures seasonal depression.
Everyone is getting this Jimmy Kimmel thing wrong.
A) It's not cancel culture when it comes from the government. It is censorship and state repression, just like in traditional authoritarian regimes.
B) Kimmel wasn't taken off the air for crotizing Kirk. He was taken off for criticizing Trump's lack of concern for Kirk. It was a criticism of the government. This has nothing to do with "cancel culture" and everything to do with freedom of speech.
Don't let them gaslight you into thinking this is a minor chapter in the culture wars. This is so much more.
