It really is. I was shooketh.

neither a gym injury nor a sex injury but a third secret thing (napped in a weird position as an elder millennial)

I hate all of the pimps, but my hatred of CC is radiant, visceral and endlessly inventive. #TheDeuce

I’ve made it to season two of #TheDeuce and my baby Darlene has gotten her GED and is reading SONG OF SOLOMON! I’m so proud of her! 🥹

‘SINNERS has won Best Cast Ensemble at the Critics Choice Awards.

Tramell Tillman has won Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for ‘SEVERANCE’ at the Critics Choice Awards.

I’m doing tomorrow is taping this week’s episode of VIBE CHECK and we’re gonna talk with @attackerman.bsky.social about Venezuela, and yet, I do indeed have the Sunday Scaries. All jittery and ish, lol.

a piece of good news to cleanse your timeline www.theguardian.com/music/2026/j...

10s across the board!!!!!

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!

Drag me (in the summer.)

Same production company adapted another Le Carre novel for AMC “The Little Drummer Girl” you might enjoy: The cast : Florence Pugh, Alexander Skarsgard , Michael Shannon

If Semafor reporting is true re: NYT holding a story about the Venezuela bombing "shortly" before it happened, this tick-tock seems to suggest that the information was also withheld from colleagues reporting on Venezuela www.nytimes.com/2026/01/03/i...

By a country mile.

My latest with @ichotiner.bsky.social.

I’m several episodes into the first season of #TheDeuce and I’m riveted. Yes, it’s about sex work and Times Square in the 1970s, but it’s really about labor. It’s dense, wild and full of great performances and actors.

I opened the window and popped my head out to look up at the supermoon and ended up having a whole conversation with some neighbors celebrating a birthday on the rooftop across the alley way, lol. I toasted the birthday girl. I love Cambridge.

Someone in my replies today kindly explained that they’re an expert in seemingly every topic imaginable because they read books. Oh, wow! Books! What are those??

I’m still gagged by how 8:30pm feels like 2am. I thought I’d be used to THE DARKNESS by January. 😫

I have a bad habit of forgetting to sell my poetry collections. My newest chapbook, Tricks, is available here and comes with a trigger warning: it is highly gay and should not be read by anyone who may not be prone to frequent arousal. www.cutbankonline.org

*TRUMP* OMG OMG HI BESTIE?! *Mamdani* LISTEN HERE YOU FAT PIECE OF SHIT!

I’m screaming, I know Trump answered the phone today when Zohran called and was like, “omg, hey habibi 😍.” Meanwhile Schumer and Jeffries are probably hiding in their “vote blue, no matter who”-themed bunkers.

*looks over at Schumer and Jeffries*

Next… week???

I’ve got so much writing done today, I could cry. I’m so proud of this work. Joyful rigor. I’ve got five books opened at the same time to check for accuracy and when I couldn’t find my phone I realized I’d stuck it in one of them as a bookmark. Using a giant piece of topaz as another bookmark.

WELP, I guess I’m awake now. Time to make some tea, read more of BALDWIN: A LOVE STORY by Nicholas Boggs which is just incredible, btw and then get back to writing. I’ll keep an eye on Trump’s moves, but I will not give my day over to him. He doesn’t get to plan my heart’s agenda.

(How are so many of y’all experts on literally every news topic tho?)

The FUCK?!

Olivia Colman should be the next Bond. #TheNightManager

In addition to his many, many other talents, Tom Hiddleston knows how to wear a suit and STRIDE, honey. #TheNightManager

STAWP, lololololol

No, because that’s what white folks especially love to do. And your culture is not a costume! 💖 #ally

WHAT

This “fireworks” scene in the penultimate episode is one of the most terrifying indictments of modern warfare I’ve ever seen. WOW. I almost fast-forwarded because it was that hard to watch. #TheNightManager

again Tony Dokoupil is not that smart and not that good and I firmly believe has his job because his hair carried him 90% of the way there and the last 10% is that the expression of his stupid pleased his new boss, who is seeking to please the oligarchs and whose stupid aligns with his.

Okay, I just thought I was tripping. But it’s kombucha all over again.

I’m on episode four, and OMGGGG, the scene at the seafood restaurant where Corky loses his shit about lobster and Andrew SWOOPS as… dun dun dun… #TheNightManager is fantastic. I’ve watched it three times and I’m going in for a fourth replay.

*looks directly at camera*

The fuck you mean we got COYOTES in Cambridge, Massachusetts?????? As in Wile E.?????????? I’ve made peace with the turkeys. But this is some new shit entirely!!!!

I watched The Night Manager on a whim last year and I was NOT disappointed the entire way through. It is action-packed in the best way. Enjoy! And I didn't know S2 was out, yay!

YESSSSSSSSSS.

The pilot episode took a bit to get going, but I’m on episode two of #TheNightManager and this show is COOKING. Tom Hiddleston, Olivia Colman, Elizabeth Debecki, Hugh Laurie… more and more. (Season 2 is out now too, but I’m on Season 1.)

You’re welcome!

I've been tracking the spread of nonconsensual deepfakes on X for more than two years. Here's a timeline of how Musk's leadership allowed the practice to flourish from a once-underground market to a viral trend, with little recourse for victims or legal enforcement. spitfirenews.com/p/grok-csam-...

Perhaps not THE highlight of the whole thing for Mr. Mayor, but man, how satisfying when the end of your lease lines up so nicely with a new and much nicer place to live suddenly coming into your possession.

Evacuating yourselves from your own lives.

1) You can’t answer this question w/out considering the nature of American society. Americans, perhaps more than any people in the industrialized world, see themselves as on their own with no safety, no support, sure things fall apart. Why Do Americans Hate A.I.? www.nytimes.com/2026/01/02/b...
