Louis Vuitton Is Cancelled for Me

October 22, 2019 by WendyB

How the hell did I miss this Jan. 9, 2017, photo of LVMH Chairman and CEO Bernard Arnault gazing adoringly at the usurper Donald Trump?

From “Hold My Beer” to Dan Rather at Spectator

April 12, 2017 by WendyB

People who are on Twitter as much as I am might be getting tired of the “Hold my beer” jokes. (I’m still amused every time, but I’ve seen a few complaints.) On the other hand, if you’re not on social media at all, you might have no idea what “Hold my beer” means. Allow New…

Photos From the Strike

December 13, 2016 by WendyB

Here are a few photos and a video from yesterday’s protest. I don’t know why I didn’t take a selfie with the woman who exclaimed, “This is my first time in New York City and I’m exhilarated to be doing this!” She was a good representative of the energy there. #treason #treason #treason A photo…

This Is an Actual Emergency

November 15, 2016 by WendyB

When I was a child, I was afraid of tests of the Emergency Broadcasting System. They were so shocking. One minute, I’d be enjoying Morgan Freeman’s performance as Vincent the Vegetable Vampire on The Electric Company. The next minute, my innocent eardrums would be assaulted by the ominous whine of the Attention Signal. Before remote…
