NEW from me: The hugely popular parenting influencer Dr. Becky coined "Deeply Feeling Kids" to describe sensitive children. But some are wondering: is she actually talking about autistic kids? And is DFK a way for parents to avoid a diagnosis? My piece for @thecut.com www.thecut.com/article/deep...

HELLO! I’m writing an essay about the Most Cringe Thing I’ve ever Written (TM) — trying to talk to writers who are Online to share as well. The idea is to have a space to be reflective about having an online footprint/how you’ve grown since writing the Cringe Thing. DM me if you’d like to chat!

SCOOP — Pennsylvania prosecutors were alerted to possible voting irregularities by one of MAGA's leading voices against voter fraud. A long paper trail shows Jack Posobiec has been living in Maryland but voting using his parents' PA address for years. From @jsweetli.bsky.social, @slate.com + me:

Like look at this shit! I would pay for it even if I didn't know @ejdickson.bsky.social.

I wrote a book! It’s called One Bad Mother. There’s an essay on trad wives. There’s one on Casey Anthony. And there’s one on Dance Moms. It’s the only book brave enough to ask: “what if bad mom…actually good?” It’s coming out in February 2026. Preorder here: www.simonandschuster.com/books/One-Ba...

Years ago, I was working on what seemed like a fun little story on fruitarians and then after like two phone calls, I learned it was deadly. Food 'purity' is a myth www.thecut.com/article/karo....

I was raw vegan for a time, which is MUCH less extreme than raw fruitarian, back before the influencer ecosystem was in its modern form. One thing that really stood out to me was the people claiming that menstruation was the body shedding toxins and therefore it was good and healthy for it to stop.

Karolina spent years idolizing raw vegan influencers on Instagram. She went to Bali to meet them — and never came home. My deep dive on fruitarianism — a group of wellness influencers who exclusively eat raw fruit — is up on @nymag.com @thecut.com today. www.thecut.com/article/karo...

"I really do hope we're crazy because if we're right, the world is about to go through hell": for @thecut.com I wrote about the Rapture tomorrow, and I talked to a lady who's preparing for it. She's excited, and so am i! Can't wait for this to all be over www.thecut.com/article/tikt...

The really hilarious thing about the whole Kimmel debacle is Disney adults love Bob Iger, when he came back to the CEO they were like “hallelujah woke is back”

I frequently feel ashamed about being a Disney adult but this is pretty much the height of it

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

Suddenly "hate speech" is bad. Suddenly "dehumanizing" people is bad. Suddenly "cancel culture" is good. Suddenly words have consequences. The modern American right in 2025, folks.

the only apparent prerequisite for these assassins is that their politics must be totally incomprehensible

I wrote about my weekend with Charlie Kirk and 3000 of his Gen Z female fans at a TPUSA event last June. As Dems compete to see who can mourn him most vocally, it’s important to point out his real legacy: inspiring very young women to lead submissive lives. www.thecut.com/article/char...

God it feels great to be yelled at by people I largely agree with. It’s like it’s 2015 again

What's crazy is that we don't know who the shooter is, or what the motivation for shooting Kirk was. But already, rhetorical charges of political terrorism, and blaming the left.

pretty astonishing to see people celebrating Charlie Kirk getting shot when this is the dominant reaction on X, and it will only continue to grow over the next few days

This was a pretty fun read especially for me who does not date men. Good luck everyone!

NEW from me: I talked to 100+ (!) straight men (!!!) to get their thoughts on sex, dating, marriage, porn, the "male loneliness epidemic," and what they think of the heterofatalism discourse. These were the biggest takeaways: www.thecut.com/article/what...

Trump is definitely alive bc who else would would blast Les Mis in the Rose Garden??

EXCLUSIVE: Court docs appear to show that married Trump DoD appointee Anthony Tata had a 'casual sexual relationship as well as a professional relationship' with astrology influencer Amy Tripp, aka Starheal, investing in her company, Starheal LLC, for 5 percent equity. www.thecut.com/article/astr...

Panic World host @ryanhatesthis.bsky.social talks to senior writer at The Cut, @ejdickson.bsky.social, about the uptick of disordered eating content right now and why it's becoming so prevalent — watch now:

My husband used to love going with me to gay bars to get attention and I feel like Pedro Pascal’s entire career is doing that except with straight women over 35

This piece by @noahshachtman.bsky.social @nymag.com on the right wing forces taking over the ADL is heartbreaking. There’s nothing more Jewish than speaking on behalf of those who are suffering — and nothing less so than silencing them. nymag.com/intelligence...

New York City, now that And Just Like That has been canceled:

I don’t care for labubus

Italians famously love darkwing duck

ATTN: @TheCut is doing its first-ever survey on men and dating! We want to know what single men think about breakups, apps, first dates, sex, etc. Survey is anonymous and super quick, you can fill it out here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

honestly—and no disrespect intended to Greg here—I think the biggest thing is that Epstein is shorthand for supposed Jewish decadence to MAGAs and Trump being his best bud and fellow child molester undermines the way they idolize him as the champion of the herenvolk

I wanna boink Zohran. Is that anything

How are America's young men becoming radicalized? How Is This Better host @akilahhughes.com unpacks the dangerous online pipelines that are responsible with guests @adammockler.com, @dennycarter.bsky.social, and @ejdickson.bsky.social on this week's episode — watch now:

You do not, under any circumstances, have to hand it to Tucker fucking Carlson

lol Tucker went on a rant about Bill Ackman and Epstein that basically could be summarized as “rich Jews are all in cahoots” and Bill (who says he never met Epstein) defended himself and you idiots are over here eating Tucker tf up

If you think Tucker Carlson criticizing Israel means he’s suddenly having a political change of heart, then I have a giant swastika-shaped bridge to sell you

Does anyone’s balls get bigger during the summer? Asking for a friend

i’m no stranger to extreme hate mail but have been blown away by the apocalyptic messages my Jewish friends in NYC who supported Zohran have received from other Jews (including friends and family) who believe he’s doing actual jihad. it is beyond all reason

You better fucking SANG that song, white gal.

how can someone be so hot and so right

A message to Cuomo voters:

For @thecut.com I wrote about how everyone’s spitting in each others mouths these days, to the point that my friend told me it happened to her while she was MAKING OUT with a guy ON THEIR SECOND DATE. Wild, wild stuff www.thecut.com/article/spit...

BREAKING: Zohran Mamdani’s communications director confirmed to me yesterday that Zohran is 5’11”. Hope that helps

For @thecut.com I wrote a take I feel extremely strongly about: going outdoors during the summer is overrated. Everyone should stay inside www.thecut.com/article/this...

“We’re done pretending that a cubicle is more empowering than a countertop”: inside the TPUSA Young Women’s Leadership Summit, where abortion is murder, trans people are dangerous, and teen girls are encouraged to drop out of school, get married, and have babies www.thecut.com/article/turn...

RIP to Brian Wilson, who gave us many perfect albums but also the perfect interview

i like bluesky because people click on links and read my work and fewer people tell me to kill myself here. and i learn new stuff about how people have sex every day
