Golden Bachelor has come out of the gate strong with some of the most painful words in the English language: "I know he said those things on the podcast, but..."

Sources tell us that PPPWI isn't scheduling abortions after September 30 in an apparent bid to remain in the Medicaid program. Planned Parenthood Federation of America claimed earlier this month that it wasn't considering allowing affiliates to drop abortions. Now one apparently will:

It's a wonderful time of year to draw 90 percent of my sustenance from cold brew and little treats and then spend the rest of my time asking, "Why do I feel like I'm dying?"

These numbers are fantastic! Based on my reporting last week, it also seems that a big part of what's needed for future sustainability is to shore up ad rates on these platforms so that cultural influence and profitability can once again be directly proportional. www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/st...

Crucial part of the Leno/Letterman Tonight Show succession mess: Leno’s good-soldier campaign to glad hand and charm the affiliates, which was a much savvier approach than, say, making a funny show whose clips might be of interest/value decades later

My abuela was an incredible soul, and I will miss her dearly. Very done with this year but grateful for all of the beautiful memories. Rest in peace 💙 www.legacy.com/us/obituarie...

Better Off Ted

Would very much like to stop hearing about how much more expensive health insurance is going to be and instead just see the damn rates already.

I realize this is a longshot, but any chance any fellow NY freelancers have found a semi-affordable health insurance plan with good out-of-network coverage?

Why did no one tell me it was international dog day?! Anyway, I love these little freaks so much 🥹

I do think it's very funny that a billionaire of that stature, who manages her image that meticulously, has wound up with what I am fairly certain is the ugliest diamond ring ever created.

Name a film that cheers you up.

Just realized that this month marks 7 years for me being self-harm free! That's good shit. Might throw a party about it and invite Bella Hadid. ✨️

Oh my god

your honor in my culture it’s actually very common to rob the Bellagio

Who's going to tell them what government ownership of means of production is called? www.tomshardware.com/tech-industr...

Please do not.

Firing and demoralizing feminized jobs as enemies of the state while brazenly bribing men with violent jobs that almost instantly puts them into the middle of middle class is very basic gendered warfare. Fulfilling the manosphere’s promise.

I'm back at @vulture.com recapping Love Is Blind: UK! This season we have: A "human design coach"; a single who absolutely chooses the wrong guy from her love triangle; and a couple so cute that *I* might have to start writing their names in my notebook. 💙 www.vulture.com/article/love...

I am not an expert, but with that being said, I still feel like characterizing everything happening in DC as an effort to distract from Epstein files is a gross misread of a regime that would seek to consolidate power in this exact manner either way.

Always love getting a chance to speak with Andy, and as usual, he had fantastic insights to share! For my latest @yahoonews.com, I wrote about why Bachelor is Paradise mixing age groups, how that's making audiences feel, and why we could see more of these concepts in the future.

As Theo Huxtable, Malcolm-Jamal Warner captured the complexities of struggling to meet expectations, @lurabardley.bsky.social writes.

I just want to grab everyone who keeps buying these tickets at these prices by the shoulders and invite them to imagine what would happen if they did NOT do that and instead made all the pigs who bought tickets just to resell them sweat, right up until, say, a week before the show!!!

If only our algorithmic world was not designed to spoon-feed us content that validates our worst fears and impulses, and if only we had not spent centuries conditioning boys to identify with anger over grief, conquest over curiosity, violence over vulnerability, and and and...

Personally, I just think it should be illegal for My Chemical Romance pit tickets to cost over $1,000 when I still have such vivid memories of seeing them and literally every other band I ever gave a shit about all in one day for a cool $40!!!

In my latest for @vanityfair.com, I reported on Paramount's decision to cancel The Late Show, and how the TV-writer community is digesting this news — while also fighting back.

Who needs absences when you could have a roomful of coughing, sneezing kids building a collective pyramid out of their used tissues?

Amy Sherald says the Smithsonian suggested removing a painting of a transgender woman as the Statue of Liberty from her upcoming show at the National Portrait Gallery “to avoid provoking President Trump.” Sherald: “I cannot in good conscience comply with a culture of censorship”

Owning the libs by confessing to being an absolute loser ✨️

This is def an increasing trend, but I will argue that we cannot ignore Drag Race watch parties in gay bars as the pioneer! khushbushah.substack.com/p/love-islan...

I've always resisted the siren call of Love Island because of the time commitment, but the memes this year had me curious, so I crashed a finale watch party for @yahoonews.com and had a blast! www.yahoo.com/entertainmen...

It's giving, "I saw Cady Heron wearing army pants and flip flops, so I bought army pants and flip flops."

I'm jealous of people born after 2008, who do not think "oh man imagine if Michelle Obama said this" every time one of these quotes shoots out. The youth will never understand how furious Fox et al were at the First lady having a healthy food initiative.

I for one think it was cool and good that nothing was done in the last four years of Democratic control to rein in the Supreme Court, I'm glad the norm respecters won out and we're all living in a rich norm-filled paradise today.

Why are bakeries so often closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, when I need at least 5 dopamine boosts per hour to make it through? 😭

Tech mogul buying the publisher of one of the most prominent tech magazines in the US? Nothing to see here!

Know I'm deeply susceptible to marketing because I've had the song from a Visit St. Lucia ad stuck in my head all damn day 🤡
