feeling sorry for all the millionaires and billionaires who didn’t get to see this perfect NYC sunset because they fled the city forever today. 😞

If you are a cool books lady fear-mongering about a municipal election, you should simply disclose who your father is, how much money he’s made from private equity, and how much he donated to Donald Trump!

I desperately need answers re: whether someone on Zohran’s team has shown him the horny copypasta.

Hope this high school classmate of mine — who, I must repeat, works on affordable housing issues 3,000 miles away from NYC — is having a good night!

man this just does not feel like a remotely fair or accurate statement to me!

i want to repeat this: mamdani and spanberger have run similar campaigns tailored to their respective electorates and it is maddening to watch political journalists attempt to create some broad contrast where none exist

Less than two months to go and I must speak my truth: I have made absolutely no progress here. This was what it took to light one (1) candle.

that's not a real domain & that ad is a violation of local & state campaign finance laws!

things seem to be going great for the Cuomo campaign!

oh my god this is so embarrassing!!!

That was the greatest baseball game I’ve ever seen.

Several of the high school students I work with are diligently finishing their early decision college applications (plus school, extracurriculars etc. etc.) while having no idea when or whether their families will get November SNAP benefits, and I just am in awe of their ability to keep going.

Please read my friend @greenwell.bsky.social’s incredible book “Bad Company”! bookshop.org/p/books/bad-...

Just finished Bad Company by @greenwell.bsky.social. Incredible and infuriating look at how private equity is killing American industries. “Enjoyed” isn’t exactly the right word here given the topic, but it’s a very, very good book. www.harpercollins.com/products/bad...

Hi hello, I frequently am asked for recommendations for editor jobs, and I am updating my roster of good candidates. If you *have editing experience* and are open to new jobs, can you respond here or DM me?

Fresh from reading Megan Greenwell's @greenwell.bsky.social riveting book Bad Company, (highly recommend!) when

Glad to be at the library tonight to hear @greenwell.bsky.social talk about her book “Bad Company”. I had read excerpts that were great, and Sheba great speaker too!

Feels like a good time to read my feature from May about why Clara Wu Tsai might be the most important person in the WNBA.

Here's a very good place to start: @davidjroth.bsky.social interviewing bsky.app/profile/gree..., who recently wrote a book on this topic. defector.com/megan-greenw...

this is the dumbest shit i have ever read

If you ever find yourself in northern New Mexico, touring Georgia O’Keeffe’s home and studio in Abiquiu is absolute magic.

Oh hey, I knew this from @greenwell.bsky.social 's book Bad Company, but looking forward to the documentary!

I cannot overstate what a bad idea it is for a man I have never heard of to cannonball into my *LinkedIn comments* to attempt to slag my book. I'm both a reporter and a petty bitch, JAY.

Always check the primary source rather than relying on another journalist’s summary, exhibit 47,932. (NYMag on the left, actual survey on the right)

Mom, can you come pick me up? They're playing "it's actually fine for K*tie P*rter to be an abusive boss because men do it too" again, and I'm scared they're going to dig out their "Carry Yourself With the Confidence of a Mediocre White Man" shirts.

Oh hell yeah, free shipping on BAD COMPANY (and every other book!) from the angels at @bookshop.org today and tomorrow!

Oh, I will watch this. (Also, please read @greenwell.bsky.social’s excellent “Bad Company.”)

I think if the headline of a column by @sulliview.bsky.social called my hiring "weird and worrisome," I'd simply disappear from society and live off the land, but I suppose our respective capacities for shame is one difference that has existed between Bari and me for going on 20 years now.

And widely distribute Bad Company: Private Equity and the Death of the American Dream, @greenwell.bsky.social's deeply researched, insightful and compelling look at the impacts of private equity across key sectors, including housing, of the US economy.

gotta say I don't think it's a great sign for society that the top editor of a major American news outlet thinks we're in a "fight for the West." (against WHOM, Bari?)

blocking anyone who texts me about this lady today, I have a feature to write!

I wrote about the College Board's dominance — and its $2 billion war chest — for Businessweek in March. They take in a LOT of public money.

The best part of traveling three weeks a month for five months has been making sure to build in time for Fancy Solo Business Trip Bar Dinner. My best life advice is Fancy Solo Business Trip Bar Dinner.

anyway if you're wondering why everything is like this now, "Bad Company" by @greenwell.bsky.social is a good place to start

Read Bad Company by @greenwell.bsky.social

I just finished this book and appreciate the detailed stories of people affected by the damage private equity firms have done. So far no help from Congress or any president either!

"I knew I needed people who readers were going to want to spend a lot of time with. I had three characters in the proposal but four in the book. One from the proposal ended up in the book." @greenwell.bsky.social niemanstoryboard.org/2025/09/19/f... #longreads #booksky #journalism

Tremendous read by @greenwell.bsky.social. Really appreciated how it is completely grounded in human stories and impact and was surprised by how optimistic it is given *gestures broadly at the world*
