Evergreen tweet

“Lewis could’ve scored ten podiums, and that first podium would’ve been equally as good. I promise there’s nothing — nothing — about Ferrari, nothing about Lewis that makes that podium any better than what it is.”  — Carlos Sainz to @foster.bsky.social in @essesmag.com Issue 05 📸 Bilal Zagaoui

Kash Patel’s girlfriend is exactly the sort of country singer you’d think she’d be. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/28/u...

HELLO FROM THE SEMAFOR MEDIA SUMMIT WHERE I WILL LIVE YEET SOME SHIT TALK BIG MAX TANI IS INTERVIEWING MATT MURRAY RIGHT NOW AND FIRST QUESTION HE ASKS IF HE REGRETS TAKING THE JOB LOL

The @pablo.show x FOSTERTALK collab the world was waiting for over a year on? Some people have thoughts. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdZv...

Do not let this incredible day for American sports go by without listening to this beautiful story about Rony Seikaly—DJ Rony Seikaly—stepping up for Magic Johnson when he needed it the most.

Very excited to watch this deep look at Magic Johnson from @pablo.show and @foster.bsky.social

The untold story of what Rony Seikaly did for Magic Johnson, behind closed doors, is incredible. And the reason why Seikaly decided to do it — which he discusses on PTFO, with @foster.bsky.social, for the first time — is even more powerful. Especially today: youtu.be/xdZvVMgSzTw?...

Go birds

Yet another utterly phenomenal piece of reporting by @mharrisondupre.bsky.social (and edited by the great @jonchristian.net) on the dangerously spiderwebbing impact of ChatGPT and its ilk on people’s psyches.

If this is the album cover you're gonna die in the mosh pit.

From my perspective, Woodworking has done far more to get readers to understand trans people than all of the journalism I did on the topic. But "getting someone to empathize" is a different thing from "explaining the facts of a situation," and one fiction is uniquely calibrated to do well.

There was an NY Mag piece from early in the pandemic about how badly a Covid-19 infection could turn out, which was way more effective in getting me to lock down, wear masks, etc., because of how my brain works. But that was clearly labeled as an invented scenario, based on a lot of research.

If Elizabeth Bruenig weren’t Elizabeth Bruenig but instead were Michael Pollan or Ed Yong, the reaction to her Atlantic story would be vastly different. It’s a unique take on a well-established narrative that could cut across lines reported stories don’t reach. Also, you all gotta chill.

Lol that Pepperdine - no doubt a MAGA SoCal stronghold - is on there. Classic Hegseth incompetence at play

Crying. You must see what this is in response to.

"'I have nothing to lose' said the bronze medalist" is a COLD line

we're all going through something

america bring 1 percent of this energy challenge

This is unreal. An AUSA talking like that in open court is about as close as you can come to a total breakdown. Never heard of anything like it.

Watching the Grammys and what is this megachurch ass bullshit

It's funny how the culture change in Silicon Valley and the decline of exciting, actually disruptive products being produced by Silicon Valley, happened at the same time.

Good idea to turnaround The Washington Post: Start by firing Will Lewis, who hasn’t made anything profitable

Bunch of people mad about fascism who thought not voting was a good way to fight fascism and genocide by showing how big mad you are, ‘fuck outta here

Oh wow things are that bad over there huh?

Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

The US has transformed from a (sorta) functioning democracy into a poster regime, a rogue troll state, fueled by internet clout. And the abduction of Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro is likely just the beginning. www.garbageday.email/p/the-rise-o...

Oh, okay

Great, more traffic on the FDR tonight

Mamdani: For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty

GET YOUR FLU SHOT

That bitchy doorman at the Bowery two NYWFs ago who told some West Village TikTok influencer having a meltdown that she couldn’t get in: “fuck me? Oh honey the last time you got fucked it was by genetics”

What the fuck man

really cannot be emphasized enough that bari weiss has literally never done journalism. i don’t mean that in the pejorative sense. i mean that in the “has never performed the job she was hired to do” sense

Things are going great over at X, The Everything App

"Has feminism failed women brought to you by bank of america" is my MKULTRA sleeper agent activation phrase

A month ago, NYT columnist David Brooks wrote a column decrying the media and political fixation on the Epstein story. This afternoon, House Democrats released a new tranche of photos of an event that Brooks attended with Epstein.

These people challenged ICE's New York director of "enforcement and removal operations" in court. They won and the federal judge declared, "Thank you for your advocacy today." talkingpointsmemo.com/news/how-a-h...

interesting about-face -- this was the editor-in-chief of CNET who championed its AI-generated articles even as they had to be extensively corrected for huge numbers of errors back in 2023

The Vanity Fair photographer from the Susie Wiles story. Holy. Shit. www.washingtonpost.com/style/power/...

Yet another lawsuit was filed against OpenAI, alleging recklessness and wrongful death. The latest suit claims that ChatGPT affirmed/fueled a troubled man’s worsening paranoid delusions, leading him to murder his elderly mother before killing himself: futurism.com/artificial-i...

Pretty infuriating: King Gizzard quit Spotify over ethical concerns -- and now Spotify is letting AI knockoffs of its music (with all the lyrics copied verbatim) proliferate on its platform futurism.com/future-socie...

Unhinged to describe the criticism of her journalistic ethics as a "freaksome lynching" when she has not denied any of the allegations and admits to most of them in her book.

Take it from someone who worked for him: You do not want Jared Kushner to own a media asset. He will destroy it.

Every time someone posts something like this my first thought is oh god what’d Ryan Lizza post now

Also I am pretty sure I could have made out with my number-one celebrity crush but I was on assignment and very carefully extricated myself, while you were all out there banging governors and engaging in regime change? I’m such a loser.

I think plenty of it speaks to the state of the media, but an obvious one is that Vox and Vanity Fair barely investigated her and that she managed to commit an unforgivable journalistic crime before getting a book deal and walking into another prestige job, while plenty of others are being laid off
