Emerged from the bunker so I could catch this week's Yankees games. Beginning to realize your girl might need a Starlink setup for this bunker after all. 📡
Have y'all ever watched those TikTok videos of folks drifting along the sea, living their best life on the open ocean. They usually drop a video once they're able to get their Starlink connected. Goals. 🧘🏾♀️⛵️ As I write this I realize I was also obsessed with Deadliest Catch back in college, so I suppose this all tracks. 🤣🦞🦀
Drake's been too damn quiet. What's he plotting for Scorpio season?
Love our Moo Deng but watching all the loud tourists has me overstimulated. I can only imagine how she feels. Can y'all leave her alone for 2 minutes or at least keep quiet? 😩 She's just a baby. 🦛
Just learned of AquaFences which is what Tampa General is using to protect against surges. Would have been useful for when Hurricane Ida flooded my damn basement in 2021. Seen folks use foam to seal up sand bags to protect their homes. I'm skeptical but we shall see how they fare. Clearly in my Bob the Builder era. 👷🏾♀️
Relatedly, the telenovela levels of drama of Lonchera TikTok is everything. Get your bag ladies! About do random construction site drive-bys to scout for a lonchera connect. 🌮🌯
If you need your comedy fix, this is it. Essentially a kiss and tell as Ali Wong shares and opens up about getting back on the dating scene after divorcing her husband of 10 years back in 2022—which was quite public. Apparently, her ex-husband is her current tour manager which reminded me that she shared previously that she was the bread winner in the relationship—did her ex need the job or is she just keeping the $$$ in the family?
Anyways, I will say—something about the delivery of the jokes didn't quite hit/land like they did in her previous Netflix specials. Our girl's in love - that's what I blame it on. She shares a cute story of how Bill Hader wooed her upon learning she was divorced, sending gorgeous flower arrangements to her hotels in every city of her last tour. 💐
Overall a quick and raunchy view of her single gal escapades!
Shares of European car and brandy manufacturers fell after China’s announcement, with BMW down 3% before recovering and the French distiller Rémy Cointreau down more than 9% and the Hennessy Cognac owner LVMH down 6.8%. Pernod Ricard dropped 4.6%. I remember when I was in Portugal years ago and Trump had announced tariffs on wine & cheese and we weren't able to ship cases of wine back to the US. Tragic. 🥲
The bid to join the bloc arrives after Azerbaijan confirmed it is also pushing for membership, following a meeting between Putin and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev. 🇨🇺
You will need to emerge from your WW3 bunker for a clear sky view to send these messages! The service can connect you with emergency services when you don’t have cell service or Wi-Fi. 🪖🏞️🆘
A friend shared he was listening to this podcast and I was immediately intrigued! It follows the 2011 story of a mysterious illness that spreads among a group of high school girls in the town of Le Roy in upstate New York. One girl started to exhibit motor tics similar to Tourette's Syndrome. Soon after, another girl began behaving in a similar manner—flailed arms, verbal tics, and verbal outbursts. And before they could understand what was happening, over a dozen students began presenting the same behaviour.
Theories began to swirl—teens being teens and mimicking each other? A foreign contagion? Mold exposure? Conversion disorder aka mass hysteria (condition in which a person exhibits physiological responses to trauma or extreme stress) ?
The iconic Erin Brockovich even makes a stop to their town to investigate possible environmental pollution! ☣️
