Josh Cole, BBC Head of Comedy, uploaded this photo of Phoebe Waller-Bridge after she won all the Emmy’s, with the caption “all hail the queen.” And while smoking is still the worst, I’m joining the masses to say—I love it.

I, too, might have raised a glass or two with a nod to this week’s other big news—high crimes and misdemeanors (let’s call it accountability?)—but that, too, has also carries a risk of hangover ennui (and concern), doesn’t it? Who knows what’s in store for us all?
Any fun plans for the weekend? Saturday is the Village Feast in Davis—a Grand Aïoli-style fundraiser lunch to benefit our farm-to-school programs. It’s also a soccer day and a friend’s 40th birthday celebration, so no doubt Sunday will be slower.
