Went to breakfast with a very old friend in town for the day and then went to Whole Foods and bought charcuterie and cheese for my Thanksgiving girl dinner and my checkout person was another friend, and Thanksgiving alone is great so far. So excited about staying home

An event in my grandparents’ town got the NYT treatment and it’s hilarious to see a village 20 minutes from an Ivy League school, a major medical center, and King Arthur Flour HQ get treated like the back of beyond www.nytimes.com/2025/11/27/o...

Holidays are a great excuse to stay offline, just sayin'

Bleak shit, man. This is how you kill people

Every American should have this in their wallet:

YESSSSSSSS

Me: It's irresponsible to spend money right now but all these sales are a good time to get some basics I need, like tights and tees. Me after 3 min on a sale website: You know what would be really irresponsible? Leaving these designer moto boots at 75% off for someone else to buy.

Does everyone hate it?

Black silk scarf dress: y or n? (Terrible pix I know)

I was impressed with Aftyn Behn in talking to her. Republicans are tagging her with tired culture war stuff; I'm not sure it'll work even in a deep-red district. It's also interesting how she's the first federal candidate to connect the Epstein files to oligarchy: prospect.org/2025/11/24/t...

I just had a discussion about this with a guy who was like, what I need to worry about that?! And idk but maybe it helps with some things?!

Grifters gonna grift in a state absolutely full of both

I will do one pull up and one minute of quite meditation and reflection for every like on this post 👑

Exactly! Not that I have a spouse, but if I had one and wanted to take them to an event, we don’t need two copies of the same book!

As I said, I know exactly why bookstores now have so many ticketed events! But there's absolutely a benefit to building a community that supports writers and readers with free events, too. Bc I have lived in those communities!

To be clear idk why a 29yo would want to date a college student! But also 😩

Sitting next to college girls at a coffee shop and one is complaining that a friend tried to set her up with a 29yo. “Like, ewwww, that is SO OLD!!!!”

I am having to print out a lot of thick documents for current projects and I have to use binder clips to keep them together and it’s been so long since I used them, it’s truly delightful in a deeply weird way

I understand the financial reasons why indie bookstores now do a whole lot of ticketed events that requiring you purchasing the book, but really miss the days where you could go to a reading to discover if you wanted to buy the book or just, like, to support the local lit scene.

And I'm saying this as someone who has made A LOT of very poor decisions in her life yet still managed never to fuck a source, even when I was drunk and single and in my 20s and getting hit on and they were way cuter than RFK. I had a choice, and I walked away! It's pretty easy to do!

If you're an adult reporter sleeping with a source, you're not a victim. Don't care how powerful the source is. Women can (and should) own their part in things! Letting yourself get seduced by someone is a CHOICE. It's not just, like, "Whoops! I fell into someone's arms and slept with them!"

NEW CROOKED FINGERS!!!!!!!

BREAKING: We’re getting six (!) edible mascots at this year’s @poptartsbowl.com! - six edible mascots, three on Team Sprinkles and three on Team Swirls - fans get to vote on which mascot team to sacrifice to Mouth Heaven at game’s end, the biggest edible mascot sacrifice EVER

This is so so infuriating. Tearing down a gorgeous art deco building for zero reason other than 🤷🏻‍♀️

GAWKER! thou shouldst be living at this hour

I hear the kids think crops and bare ankles are totally over but these jeans are cute and I’m keeping them.

I finally read it and ... it is so much worse than the excerpts floating around here. Bleak.

i'm still laughing that that lady had a FaceTime affair with a diseased rock monster with a brain worm fellas there is no reason not to have hope

I had to get business insurance to land a freelance marketing. project, and now I feel, like, really official as a writer

Editors have a really hard job, and the good ones can make something unreadable readable, and the great ones can make something unreadable into something good. But they're basically invisible, until someone tries to write without one.

The Falcons look unstoppable, you say? The Falcons look great, you say? Let's just wait for the second half

Still thinking about what an eviscerating insult "This book reads as if it were punched into a phone while the author was hiking" would be if it appeared in a review.

What a quarter

Wow that’s crazy

That was some Mark Richt shit!

why we doing this

SC wyd

Involves deviation from stereotypical gender norma.

I will no doubt read and enjoy all your very good Nuzzi jokes, but I also want to say earnestly, so many of us (myself included) are on the verge of being pushed out of this industry and it's genuinely so dispiriting to see the worst among us, ethics-wise, get such preferential treatment.

THE BYLINE OMG

Luv to formally find out I didn't get a job (that I interviewed for) bc a I get an automated survey asking about my experience applying for the job

OMG RED GROOMS CAROUSEL COMING BACK

The problem is, a lot of these jobs (at great institutions with great people!) do not pay enough to afford rent/childcare/savings if you are not straight out of college, have family wealth, and/or have a spouse/partner who makes a decent living. I hope that will change.

I do not and will never want to watch your podcast. That’s not a podcast, it’s a video interview. I will fight you on this. (it will be a losing battle but also come on people why are we doing this? There’s a reason they are called PODcasts)

Q for you freelance writers and assigning editors: When you have print stories that are paid by the word (with an assignment with a word count that has a range, i.e. 500-600 words), have you usually gotten paid for the word count you turn in or the word count that actually runs?

Taylor: Releases song, oh Charli it’s soooo cute how yr sooooo obsessed with me! Charli: Releases heavy af collab single with John Cale

I cannot believe it is snowing, in Georgia, on Nov. 10. (Not sticking. But still!)

That Google phone ad is so poorly thought out. You’re telling me a Google phone is cooler than a Nancy Sinatra song and a delicious vanilla soft-serve cone? Hell no
