There are credible allegations of rape against the president, and evidence his administration has taken steps to cover up his relationship with the world's most notorious pedophile. This story is being covered more aggressively by People Magazine than the NY Times, Wash Post, or Wall St Journal.

In a virtual meeting in my pajamas listening to someone insist that “vibecoding” can be used to solve a broad range of our problems. Do these people know how stupid they sound?

Spent yesterday doing some of my favorite things: walking in Salesforce Park, eating & drinking at The Taj, and taking a flight at Sunset from San Francisco to Los Angeles (aka Most Beautiful Show Anywhere Ever, a Nature + Human Collaboration). Spectacular views 100% of the way. LA at night ❤️❤️❤️

Politico wrote up Zohran playing basketball with the uncovering-a-big-scandal tone the same day the NYTimes wrote up "credible allegation that The President of the United States raped a woman" as a political strategy story. Broken media in a nutshell

New: Mayor Zohran Mamdani and a group of his friends have been secretly using the NYPD Police Academy’s gymnasium in Queens to play pickup basketball — scrambling some operations at the facility. w/ @grahamrayman.bsky.social & Joe Anuta www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

O.M.G. If you’re not from the Cincinnati Metro Area you could not *imagine* how big of a deal this is. He is done-done. Like, should-probably-leave-politics-and-the-state done.

Over 2,000 alumni from Vivek’s all-boys catholic high school in Cincinnati have signed and circulated a petition demanding that he pull the ad and issue a public apology for “ignoring the moral responsibilities” of his Jesuit education. I think he’s pretty cooked.

I don't know that there is a template or a "secret sauce" or a clear-cut lesson to take from this. But if there is one it's the idea of treating social media as the hostile territory that it is, of actually acting like you are a participant in propaganda warfare and not like a consumer.

I felt a lot of my physical and mental trauma dissipating here. A group of women being nude together for hours, taking up space and moving around completely free of shame and sexualixation, is deeply healing & really raises your vibration. I got several great body treatments by the therapists too.

If you’re in line to complain about Vivek Ramaswamy planning an event in your area, stay in line. “business owners and event hosts have explicitly told them that they do not want the horrendous publicity – or angry phone calls, or social-media attacks, or customer complaints – that they would get”

Love that Audi Revolut puts their social media posts & stories right on their website, so I can see them even though I don’t have any social media accounts anymore ❤️

RM x SFMOMA was fabulous. We stayed for hours, fascinated. My heart is so full. I want to revisit many things from the exhibit and learn all about them. Meanwhile, here are my favorite 3 things that were on display today outside of the exhibit, all from the Fisher Collection.

The vibes are hideous. They have kiosks with robot “baristas” at the San Francisco International Airport. I’m awarding bonus points for still having actual human-driven taxis with proper taxi lines though, so all hope is not lost.

I’m at the fantastic new Hollywood-Burbank Airport. When I got here there was a huge, beautiful rainbow over the building. Excited to go back to San Francisco for the first time in quite a while, and I have amazing plans. It’s so nice to feel uncomplicated joy. 🌈

if any combination of blexas, blorida, blohio, and blansas blappen we're going to see a lot of publications abruptly remember how to do real journalism again. having said that, this being in NRO is killing me irl. good bye

Vivek Ramaswamy is a sick fuck. Ohio politics start in the gutter and frequently sink lower, but this is beyond the pale.

Sometimes I do procedures on patients who are awake and one of the nurses always turns on acoustic renditions of pop songs. Today as I was admiring how lovely one of the songs sounded, I suddenly thought “omg what if all this is AI?” I hate having to question everything this way.

After my sister brought her daughter to visit me, my mother pulled a long con of pretending to work on repairing our relationship that culminated in her traveling 2000 miles to talk at me about "grandparents' rights" and what she is entitled to from me, my sister, & my kids. Narcissism runs deep.

This is a quietly metastasizing moral panic

me waking up unbothered at 7AM to a series of work texts that start with "sorry to text you in the middle of the night" and end with "nvm found it" I have just stopped looking off-hours, but I would pay for a subscription to be able to set an away message for texts like I do for email.

Hakeem can move. He can take his head out of his ass. He can stand up for the people that he serves. He can get in line with the will of the people. He just hasn't had to move because all the establishment just like this feckless POS have been propping each other up while collectively doing nothing.

People need to start understanding that patriarchy isn't a conspiracy theory, but the best explanation for many phenomena we see — and it's behind many of the contradictions between the divergence of the seeming intent of the law and how it's applied.

At some point Peripera dc'd No. 2 Wine Nude lip liner. I had to buy the last 4 in existence from some K-beauty hoarding angel in Irvine. It's been a tough year of relearning how to perform gender in public, meanwhile government and society seem to become more openly hostile toward women every day.

I get invited to speak so that I can give "the women's perspective." Like a footnote to the rest of the content. It's exhausting. I'm traveling this week and I'll have to check two bags because I'm expected to have fashionable business and evening attire while the men wear the same suit every day.

One thing that helped was spending time with my daughters. They both wear form-fitting and revealing clothing and have absolutely no shame about their bodies, and none of the disgust or obligation that I've always associated with gender. So I need to do better, I might as well try leaning into it.

In 2019 I was bedbound for most of the year, then 2020 happened. And freed me for a while. When I moved to California I wore all-black tent-shaped clothes and stopped wearing a bra. In 2023 I cut off ALL my hair. For the first time I felt invisible and ungendered and unbothered and safe.

This year I got a new job and I have to do all the things again. People look at me now. People judge me in very specific ways now. I have to spend so much more money and time doing things that make other people comfortable when they look at me, because of their ideas and expectations.

I haven't been able to find Sweet Tarts Skulls & Bones this year. But I did find Brach's Mellowcreme Spooky Graveyard Mix, so Halloween can still happen. Also it's a gorgeous day, and the neighbors are having their fan palm that hangs over the fence trimmed. Feeling great, love this time of year.

I am sorry, which company is this? www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Found this bird house in a box I had forgotten about and put it together today. Tomorrow I get to stay home and play in my yard, which is exciting.

I have looked forward to this moment for so long. Feels like an eternity we've been waiting to vote against Karen Bass, since we were forced to vote for her to avoid Rick Caruso and she responded by launching directly into Perpetually Disappointing Mode. 2022 feels like 20 years ago at this point.

This reminds me of all my aunts. I accept that all three of the cocktails don't have anything in them that's not alcohol except the ice. The garnishes tho... when she dips the martini glass in honey and then shredded coconut I almost vomited. 2 of 3 look disgusting, but I do fuck with Hypnotiq.

It's almost that time of year 🤣 youtu.be/3RFWnJ_iVdo?...
