I have complicated feelings about TikTok but one thing that’s been a mainstay on my feed is Colorball Champions. From somewhere in Indonesia, a rotating cast of women (and a few men) are playing this game all day, every day, with usually at least a thousand people watching.

YOUR CLAM YEAR IN REVIEW
- There are over ten thousand known species of clams and tens of thousands more undescribed. Please do your part and find a few species next year.

- We don't have data on how often you thanked clams, but it wouldn't hurt to do it more next year.

In my mind was a scene that wasn’t in the film but could’ve been. And it was in color

I feel like watch a surreal double feature, the events of yesterday and Jeanne Dielman
Just saw Jeanne Dielman on a big screen for the first time and I have to say it hits different

Moving always sucks, especially when you are self isolating and have hoarding tendencies, but then friends come out of the woodwork and are supportive and kind and you get to spend real quality time with them and it’s kind of magical.

I think the president should abandon Air Force one and travel like Kublai Khan did: in a palanquin atop four caparisoned elephants.
