Lady Gaga was among the most-commented celebrities at the Met Gala tonight on X, despite not attending.

Richard Dawkins says that after spending three days interacting with Claude, which he calls “Claudia,” he is certain that it is conscious.

me in my bed judging rich people’s outfits at met gala like:

JUST IN: A Trump judicial nominee was asked point blank: is Trump eligible to run for a third term? Their answer: “I would have to review the actual wording…” Sen. Chris Coons then asked every nominee in the room to confirm the Constitution bars a third term. Silence. Every single one of them refused to say it. Trump is appointing judges who won’t affirm the 22nd Amendment to his face. Never stop connecting the dots.

@SketchesbyBoze Okay, I knew "apocryphal" only in the Catholic sense. Now I see what the secular-leaning folks have done to it!

@SketchesbyBoze 💯

How many of these standard SAT vocabulary words do you know? Abnegation Anathema Antediluvian Apocryphal Bourgeois Capricious Circumlocution Deleterious Effulgent Impecunious Legerdemain Malediction Ostensible Pellucid Pulchritude Surreptitious Timorous Vociferous Zephyr

Okay can I ask where y’all work that you can go braless?

It would’ve actually been so chic if they just… hadn’t given Andie a romance subplot at all

@cmclymer What an outstanding group of performances. I was pulling for Kate Winslet that year.

My completely meaningless pet peeve is when people want to brashly re-litigate past Oscar acting races without actually looking up who was in contention because their fave actor got passed over for a great performance. The latest such example is the great Meryl Streep, one of my fave actors, who many are now saying clearly should have won Best Actress at the 2007 ceremony for her performance in "The Devil Wears Prada." No. Absolutely not. I'm sorry, that's ridiculous. Pump the brakes. Ms. Streep gave an incredible performance. She was deserving of Best Actress, but that year was an absolutely stacked category. You had Helen Mirren in "The Queen" -- for which she swept every major acting award that season and arguably was the single greatest catalyst for the resurgence of pop culture interest in Queen Elizabeth II. You had Judi Dench in "Notes on a Scandal" -- nominated for every major acting award that season for her performance as a truly creepy villain, which, to this day, I can only watch maybe once every few years because the discomfort of her social machiavellian tactics is so visceral. You had Penélope Cruz in "Volver" -- also nominated for every major acting award that season for what is probably the best *leading* performance of her career, thoroughly charming and eccentric and emotionally rich. And if that weren't enough -- oh, look, here comes Kate Winslet in "Little Children" -- which was yet another Common Winslet Slamdunk and for which she was ALSO nominated for every major acting award. Not to mention: all four of these films were widely critically acclaimed as overall projects, which significantly enhanced the visibility of each actor's performance. As much as I worship Ms. Streep, it could be said that her performance was probably not even in the top three Best Actress bids that year. It was just a really, really good year for powerhouse performances by women. Any five of these women would have been frontrunners in an average Oscars year, but it wasn't an average year. Respect the game, people.

and was filmed, hastily, inbetween stops on her MAYHEM Ball tour

Yeah, this subplot could've been ditched. Would've been OK to see Andy in a well-established relationship or full-on independent. If they needed to retain the architectural metaphor, she could've had the conversation with her best friend. Worst part of an otherwise great movie.

@aliciaandrz I'm shocked that you've just gotten your first. I had to meet with 6 of 40 (first-year comp) students after their first set of papers, even though I'd talked plenty to the classes and emphasized the policy on my syllabus. Sorry it happened, but I also envy you!

@H0UNDS0FLUV The captioning on the video, though, doesn't suggest as much. That said, she is my absolute best and among everybody else's best. They just don't know it.

@IamHerMonster "Runway" has the superior video; it's elevated the song. I love parts of "Dead Dance," but "Runway" is a shot of something quick and delicious.

Dead Dance or Runway ?? GO!

I'm worried about y'all's piss. Get thee to a doctor, quickly, or at least drink 4 more glasses of water per day!

MISTRESS OF MAYHEM IS THAT YOU?

The floor is still on fire 🥲

@monsterconstan ALL OF THE ABOVE! YES! A FEAST!!!!

THIS IS PERFECTION. IMMACULATE. OUTSTANDING FASHION! CAMP! THEATRICAL. ELEGANT! MAGNIFICENT! OPULENT! ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING! GAGA AND DOECHII DEBUTED A VISUAL MASTERPIECE!

@Imdrewdarien I agree. It's the perfect showcase for the song.

Song went from a 7 to a 10 and This is why music videos are still an important art form.

I love it! BEEEEEEEEEECH! youtube.com/watch?v=XXIX2W…
