You wouldn’t necessarily think of a dance album as a font of maternal wisdom, but why shouldn’t it be? Cimafunk, who is calculated about honoring Afro-Cuban history in his music, took a full track on his new El Alimento to record his grandmother’s advice about staying out of trouble. “Sometimes what’s cheap turns out to be expensive,” he recalls. “The good thing almost never comes easy.” If you can make it through my rough Spanish translations, them’s hard-hitting truths from grandma, but you know they only hit fully if you’re dancing it out. Do that here.

Last winter, SNL aired a sketch where Aidy-Bryant-in-mom-clothes has her neighborhood friends over for a wine-soaked birthday afternoon, and during present time, we watch her open an escalating series of novelty signs:

“DINNER CHOICES: 1. TAKE IT 2. LEAVE IT.”

“Wine gets better with age. I get better with wine.”

“Home. Where the “ho” and “me” come together.”

These signs are a parody at this point, and so is the “In This House” sign that they spawned. Any time you take more than ten steps outside a city, you can’t escape the madlib of the empty virtue signaling: “We believe… SCIENCE IS REAL,” “LOVE IS LOVE,” etc. You’ve probably stopped paying these any attention at this point, but Amanda Hess just dropped into NYTMag to remind us that not only are the signs still here, but they’re still doing work on behalf of the white ladies struggling with their political reputation. (Did you know the sign initially went viral through Pantsuit Nation?) Strap on your pussy hat and read up.

Hope all our wine moms enjoyed their husbands’ Peloton stock while it lasted, because now that folks are going out again, that share price is coming down real quick. The company just reported their slowest growth quarter since 2019 (predictable! embarrassing!) and the growth projections going forward are such that they’re instating a hiring freeze.

Meanwhile, after Zillow thought maybe they could get into house flipping, they’re selling thousands of properties at a loss (though still at a total cost of $2.8 billion) because, oops, they bought them all at the peak of the market. Turns out you have to make good business decisions in addition to having scale — a lesson worth almost 9 sock percentage points and about 2,000 layoffs. Does this give you more or less faith in the Zestimate?
