I just watched the first episode of Blossoms Shanghai, the series directed by Wong Kar Wai on criterion. The lavish production he favors is in full force. I'm intreguied by the story but find it a bit difficult to follow, partly because I can't read the subtitles fast enough and keep my eye on the beautiful cast and ever-roming shots done through the cut glass chandaliers, whisky tumblers and beveled mirrors that adorn pretty much every scene. The story jumps around in time so that also adds to my confusion but I think my ADD should take the blame. The set up is solid and I'm about to start episode 2. Some awesome food styling for skinny.

"cant we have just one day to celebrate nancy pelosi accomplishments!?!" is a thing today on bluesky. sadly it is linked to this article which mostly looks at how brave a young nancy pelosi was to support the fight against aids as the congresswoman from san francisco. she even knew people that died. what heroic empathy for her friends and constituents. and she sewed a panel in a quilt and stood up to ronald reagan over killing grass on a lawn.

bow down, america, this is one glass ceiling smashing babe whose accomplishments must be honored without question.

we all know she deserves plaudits and praise but warts and all people. personally, a great woman deserves a great monument. i think they should name the new washington stadium after her.
