We talked about the spectacle! But we did not talk about the musicality. One thing I love about ANY Prince guitar solo is that he knows the direction he is moving toward & they always resolve perfectly, both rhythmically & musically no matter what he reaches for along the way.
It’s a much more rare talent than you’d think. Even the greatest guitarists sometimes improv too hard & get in the weeds & soon you have to admit to yourself you stopped enjoying it 3 minutes ago. Prince was a savant. He could point at the sky & hit a Grand Slam every time.
And that was just, like, one thing he could do better than anyone else. It’s almost funny, it’s so shocking. Was there anything he could not do? His drawing ability was kinda goofy, I guess. 😂

LONG-CONCEALED RECORDS SHOW TRUMP’S CHRONIC LOSSES AND YEARS OF TAX AVOIDANCE
The Times obtained Donald Trump’s tax information extending over more than two decades, revealing struggling properties, vast write-offs, an audit battle and hundreds of millions in debt coming due.

Donald J. Trump paid $750 in federal income taxes the year he won the presidency. In his first year in the White House, he paid another $750.
He had paid no income taxes at all in 10 of the previous 15 years —
largely because he reported losing much more money than he made.
As the president wages a re-election campaign that polls say he is in danger of losing, his finances are under stress, beset by losses and hundreds of millions of dollars in debt coming due that he has personally

I think Schitt’s Creek deserved all those Emmys, but the other shows were also incredibly deserving. I think it is also fair to say that Schitt’s Creek benefitted, awards wise, from being an incredibly heartwarming show in a time when everyone was devouring comforting content!
My other hot take? Nightly late night shows should be a separate category from weeklies! It’s a different grind. But also, I don’t care *that* much? Because ultimately, everyone working on these shows has already kinda won at life?
Also I don’t care a huge amount because more women should have comedic nighttime shows, both weekly & nightly. 2 out of 14 isn’t enough. 💜💜💜

Picking out this tweet from this entire thread, which is interesting. The empowerment challenge was probs just a fluffy low-stakes way for women to gas each other up & not co-opted from a Turkish femicide awareness campaign. BUT now we know more about domestic violence in Turkey.
I’m glad someone I love asked me to post a pic. I didn’t ask anyone I love to post a pic because I didn’t want to annoy anyone, which in turn probably hurt people who felt disincluded. I’m sad but eager to learn more about the situation in Turkey & help if I can.
I think, yes, you could feel like black & white selfies are narcissistic, (all selfies are narcissistic?) or that selfies (taking space & being seen) are sometimes self-empowering while probably not doing tons of global good. But I did like seeing lots of faces in my TL!

To all of my friends who were nominated for Emmys today, congratulations! You deserve to celebrate. To all of my friends who work on truly great shows, congratulations. It’s the work that matters & you deserve to celebrate.
To all my friends who work on kinda shitty shows because you didn’t get hired on a truly great show & you need to pay the bills, congratulations. You are still living a kind of dream?
And to all my friends who are out of work right now & would kill for a gig on even a very shitty show, I see you & I love you. Your day will come. 💜
