Jenny Han shut that nonsense down real quick

The Las Culturistas Culture Awards are amazing

Happy to report Superman is good & James Gunn lets Rachel Brosnahan go full-on Midge Maisel in her dialogue.

So I loved Materialists

So sad to hear about friends & former coworkers losing their jobs last week. Hire @andrewwyrich.bsky.social @davidcovucci.bsky.social @mikaelthalen.bsky.social & others who got laid off. You won’t regret it!

Was one of many let go by the Dot. Got to break a ton of great stories there: the exposure of the US No Fly list, gaining early access to Truth Social & registering an account as Trump, & countless others on hacks, leaks, & misinfo. Looking for a new gig, so don't hesitate to reach out.

I was among the many great people let go by the Daily Dot yesterday. Sad about it, obviously. One of the Dot's best characteristics was punching above its weight. I did that by single-handedly building a newsletter that was a total mess into one with an engaged, passionate audience. Will miss it.

I was unfortunately let go by the Daily Dot this week after eight years and, by my quick count, editing over 13,000 stories. People always talk about small sites that "punch above their weight," but no one did it with as small a team and as few resources as we did.

Nothing quite captured the early 2000s like reality television. That's precisely why we’re celebrating what just might go down as the golden age of the genre with our Reality Rewind Issue. Discover who made our list of the best reality stars of the 2000s: bit.ly/4kEGCGp

As someone covers culture, I was happy to see the Oscars & SXSW on different weekends again this year… but now for 2026 I see both events are once again scheduled for the same weekend. Why can’t these 2 orgs coordinate with each other??

A very SXSW interaction: My husband met Kyle MacLachlan at a pop-up for his wine brand at a grocery store. (And signed a bottle of wine for us!)

Reached a new level of Phantom Thread fandom yesterday with Phantom Thread gel manicure
