oh your romance novel isn’t like other romance novels?? because it’s literary?? you write about serious themes???? it has discrete, classy cover art??? 🤡🤡🤡

I’ve never written anything using AI, I never will, and I have zero respect for any professional who does.

Breaking News: Democrats flipped a Florida legislative district that includes Mar-a-Lago, pulling off another upset.

David Borenstein: Mr Nobody Against Putin is about how you lose your country... When oligarchs take over the media and control how we can produce it and consume it, we all face a moral choice. But luckily, even a nobody is more powerful than you think.

They are a different species, the ruling class, because they have made themselves so. They have systematically and with groaning pleasure removed the organs where empathy lives. And even if only a tenth of it is true — even if only a hundredth of it is true, it is too much.

the people who only want books with cinnamon roll heroes and no third act breakups have made contemporary romance boring as shit.

The wrong people keep dying

The people using the FIVE YEAR OLD as bait are always the BAD GUYS!!!

Tearing my hair out over every think piece that ponders why Heated Rivalry has become such a cultural phenomenon without including the part about it being a romance novel adaptation and not just following but respecting the genre’s conventions

Every move to Denver is a cry for help

I don’t understand how Game of Thrones spawned all these spin offs but I can’t get ONE Kleypas or Maclean adaptation off of Bridgerton! Make it make sense!

all this is both foolish and unnecessary

can he just die already

“What have I done!” 🤡

asking the government to bail you out before the bubble has even burst

i hope this election cycle empowers everyone the next time a centrist liberal says to drop pro-trans and pro-immigrant rhetoric to enthusiastically tell them to shut the fuck up

Big day for people who care about other people

Who among us…

if you want to know what happened to Teen Vogue yesterday, my work wife @allegrak.bsky.social — who ran our politics section for 6 years until this past June — said it all in this. can't even pull out a favorite part til I sign my separation letter lol, just read the whole thing.

If someone has a billion dollars but is worried about taxes they are seriously demented!!!

A question we don’t ask enough is - why are white siblings in commercials always so horny for each other?

The absolute whimsy of a jewel heist at the Louvre at 9:30am! Did they plan it at a beautiful sidewalk cafe? Have little stylish nicknames??

the "abolish ICE" people were right

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target

Can someone sit the producers of the Emmys down and explain that we watch for the speeches? And why are they producing the Emmys if they don't know it?

JEFF HILLERRRR!!!!!

so much is bad right now but the AI stuff in particular is making me insane. a desperate attempt to smother all human creative labor at an absurd cost to the planet by some of the most short-sighted, rapacious, and pathetic people who have ever lived

I have two tickets to #SentimentalGarbage tonight at Union Hall if anyone is interested! Selling for face value!

Vaccines are safe and effective. RFK Jr. isn’t.

Heres hoping justice is at least possible posthumously. apnews.com/article/virg...

if you're real sad can i recommend (re)watching RYE LANE?? one of the best "falling in love while walking around a city" movies out there, a genre critical to the nation's Yearning community

"How bad slavery was" is worse. Much worse. Much worse than you think, much worse than you're taught, much worse than museums depict. Worse.

There is something so fundamentally telling with people who think that “reading a book” and “knowing what the plot is” is the same experience.

“The New York Times collaborated with a white nationalist eugenicist hacker and agreed to keep his identity a secret to publish a Zohran Mamdani hit piece” is a way bigger story than “18 year old Zohran Mamdani ticked ‘African American’ on his Columbia application because he was a citizen of Uganda”

Freedom from kings. Freedom from fascism. Power to the people forever. ♥️ Happy Independence Day 🇺🇸

It’s INSANE and FRUSTRATING that the establishment Dems are more terrified and energized around defeating Democratic Socialism (which is incredibly popular with their base) than literal FACISM!!

Voted this morning (Mamdani #1, Cuomo nowhere) and had to wait in line for the first time ever! I feel like this is a good sign!!

The bees from My Girl have endorsed Cuomo

No weapons for Israel, no war with Iran or anyone else for that matter - how about that, huh? Can we try that for fucking once? Fewer horrible pointless deaths, maybe? A wild concept, I know!

If you have to hide your face in order to do a job then perhaps that isn’t a job you should be doing.

it really doesn’t matter if someone is in america illegally or not. who cares, grow up

AI is evil and I hate it- but if I had to use it it would be to out the quotation marks back in books! Let me know when someone is speaking!!!

An entirely too large portion of my mental heath is resting on Zohran Mamdani winning the dem primary on June 24th! Please rank the progressive ticket and for the love of GOD do not rank Cuomo

It's so tragic what happens to businesses when streets are pedestrianized. Look at how empty and unpleasant this all is in New York's West Village! Businesses must be suffering without the 15 idle cars that could be taking up this space. <Stares in Urbanist Rage at Lincoln Ave, back home>
