You know what we don't talk enough about? Queen & Annie Lennox/David Bowie rehearsing 'Under Pressure' in 1992. So much going on! Everyone's clothes, Bowie with a lit cig throughout, where Annie PROPER GOES FOR IT, George Michael singing along in the background. The amazing vocals. Yes, please!

I'm just going to say a thing. What a person looks like is not reflective of their soul. Insulting the appearance of bad people who do bad things as an outcome or indication of their rotten hearts perpetuates the notion that conventional beauty = virtue, a myth that's led to untold human damage.

I was at a recent signing where I noted that we suspect about 10 to 15 percent of sales for this book came purely from the cover, and someone in the signing line who heard the comment said "Oh thank god, I'm not alone," which I thought was pretty funny.

100 percent you're going to see some right wing jerks complaining that Springsteen has gone woke because they never once actually listened to his lyrics before

Bruce Springsteen@brucespringsteen.net

May as well dive right in. Did you know that dogs in ancient Mesopotamia also refused to drop the ball? According to a Sumerian proverb, “The dog understands ‘Take it!’ It does not understand ‘Put it down!’” Source: cdli.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/artifacts/34...

Oh dang I love that bit of Greek mythology, the tale of Castor and Castor and Castor and Castor and Castor and Castor and Pollux

Castor, one of the stars marking Gemini's twins — and one of the brightest in the sky — is actually a sextuple star, a *six*-star system! Now, for the first time, astronomers have split some of those tightly bound stars. badastronomy.beehiiv.com/p/splitting-... [premium subbies only] 🔭 🧪

Every time someone says "I can't write X, editors will never buy it" an angel loses its wings Those shining adamantine feathers, sharper than death, slice all creatures in their path to molecule-thin ribbons, blood raining down onto acres of land rendered poisonous for decades. So maybe reconsider
