twirling my hair coquettishly as RFK Jr describes his battle with tularemia

I’m writing an essay about AI for my newsletter and it’s gonna be good and not hackneyed or pearl clutching. But I have been overtaken by unrelated events lately

i'm making a caraway rye punch for thanksgiving and i'm also gonna make eggnog and krupnik (the honey vodka, not the soup) to give as gifts. "i'm just sayin"

i want olivia nuzzi and caroline calloway to do a podcast together

(bret michaels voice) "whassa goin on" with mizz nuzzi's eyebrows

White House aggressively posting “trump is straight” content amid the blow job e-mail

Amor fati means a tango unto death with T Rav from southern charm

I’m sorry but this rocks

Sorry how is Lizza writing something called Telos News? There’s only one Telos and it was edited by Paul Piccone darling.

The Kimpton stationery that would change the course of our lives is a Mike White device

not having a good time but communion with my fellow posters over the nuzzi tea will anesthetize me in the short term

You are going to hell

back to focusing on things I can control. I’m working on learning a Chopin waltz. I put some nonperishable food in a box with a “FREE” sign taped to it on my porch today, nobody took anything but I’m gonna put it out again tomorrow (it’s freezing rain overnight). I’m going to take a hot shower

Please read Phil, the only smart man in the game

"Hyde language" would be a ban on anything related to abortion. So, any Senate Democrat that caves is agreeing to vote to implement a nationwide abortion ban in exchange for healthcare subsidies.

Just a gentle reminder that surgeon general nom Casey Means founded a wearables company called Levels and her twin brother Casey Means founded a platform called Truemed to facilitate spending HSA and FSA dollars on wearables and alternative therapies :)

truly, do senate moderates wake up every day with a horse kick to the head?

Because @fetterman.senate.gov doesn’t care about Pennsylvanians (let alone the Democratic Party), he has an obscenely strict character limit for emails and no one answers the phone and they don’t allow one to leave a voicemail if it’s after hours.

Sharing with a request. How do I reach fetterman? His DC office goes to a recorded phone tree. Is there a central switchboard or something I can call?

Any food which has gotten to poor families the states must send agents to reclaim the food before it is eaten or face new federal penalties

I'm on Sunday duty at @defector.com today! First up, my newser on the airport crisis. Spoiler: Trump is fucking you. defector.com/if-youre-stu...

Need Zohran to speak on his favorite Dan album

where are my Cheever heads at

"AI bailout during shutdown" would turn the Joker into the Joker

struggling my way through shadow ticket and normal Saturday chores

moved on from shadow ticket to some cheever short stories and now I want a cold gin martini like you wouldn’t believe

I briefly wrote up some Thoughts and I'm back here cause I miss feeling good online buttondown.com/abbycartus/a...

long and absolutely banger thread

This is political suicide, not for Trump who is fully sundowning 100% of the time and is going to die, but for the Republicans that will be left when Trump is gone. They will be out of power for 60 more years. The few savvy ones understand this

(me when it’s dark at 5 pm) I’m Lester the Nightfly, hello Baton Rouge

imagine being the most unpleasant person eo wilson ever met www.youtube.com/watch?v=cE0w...

James Watson sucked, I'm with the Rosalind Franklin forward brigades for life 🫡

Average NYT headline

Trump 100% has dementia and that's what the tacky ~ The Oval Office ~ sign is about. That's why he's nodding off during the GLP-1 press briefing and seemed not to notice that that guy collapsed. The dude has no idea where he is

we talk too much about the male loneliness crisis and not enough about the male suckerfication crisis maxread.substack.com/p/prediction...

It's difficult to sum up the abject chaos Trump has caused by using people's ability to eat as a bargaining chip. Communication re: SNAP varies widely state by state, and it's wonderful to hear some have gotten November benefits, but many, many millions still haven't. This was totally avoidable.

I'm hearing these SNAP benefit updates: -100% Washington state -100% Michigan -100% California -Partial Illinois -Partial North Carolina -1/2 Vermont (Note that not everyone in these states received money today because their typical day of the month for benefits may not have passed yet)

like how little do you think of americans that “daily videos of masked men terrorizing children and tearing families apart” is an issue you don’t touch because you think you’re going to lose on it. that’s insane

Highly recommend the great podcast Know Your Enemy

Esplen. Saginaw Street. If you misplaced your fully loaded AK-47 somewhere outside, the cops found it in someone's yard.

we need to get together and found a free university i'm so serious

The advances we've made in statistics, experimental study design, and causal inference over the past century are remarkably useful for understanding our world. But there is never been a push to make people use them like we are seeing with generative AI. Perhaps take a moment to consider why.

it’s mother fucking TOME TIME

conservatives on twitter saying zohran's wife isn't hot might be the biggest cope of them all

i had a really busy october and now i'm back baby, brainstorming new socially menacing projects for myself (what if i tried to publish a book of essays?)

i made banana bread with duck eggs yall

Before i do My Meetings: i started Shadow Ticket and tbh I’m not loving it so far

Because you took food out of their mouths lol
