Did not expect 2026 to include my name and work being discussed in-depth in a deposition with a billionaire. More on this after I read all the docs, but the short version: one of The Profit star Marcus Lemonis's violations (www.businessinsider.com/the-profit-m...) was my interview with him. 🤯

A Breaking Glass Pictures doc revisits the long, strange trip that was the Jodi Arias case – but doesn't seem entirely sure why it's doing so. #TrueCrime #Documentary

My Traitors season 4 episode 2 recap has spoilers for the next murder and a surprise early banishment, and what I think was the producers' biggest mistake so far this season. #Traitors #RealityTV

On The Traitors season 4 episode 2, a player appeared to out themselves as a traitor repeatedly—and then another player did the same thing at the roundtable. What is going on?! #TheTraitors #Season4

The Traitors US season 4 has begun! In this episode one recap: The Traitors are chosen, including the new Secret Traitor, while a Housewives star catches another in a lie. #TheTraitors #TraitorsUS

More than two dozen reality TV shows premiere this week, including The Traitors US!

This is so delightfully savage! “They don’t have any original ideas, let alone the conviction to express them.”

FYI: It's a new year, and time to become a brand-new person! Just kidding. But for me, the new month and year does is providing an opportunity to take steps forward in my writing, with others' help.

Great piece on just how important language is when reporting. Grok is not a human, though since it's programmed to display more humanity than its creator, I guess it's easy to get confused.

I love Julia Louis-Dreyfus in basically anything. So why do I find her podcast ad reads so inauthentic and grating?

It is objectively perfect that people are posting about MTV going off the air forever last night instead of turning on the television and noticing that it did not.

Congrats, @taranarmstrong.bsky.social!

I joined Memoir Nation's #JanYourStory2026 to finish this pesky second draft of my book (memoir/cultural criticism) and the first Zoom today was so productive! Writing is solitary but it helps to be in community with other writers. https://www.andydehn...

What was the last movie or TV show you watched in 2025?

Drunk and giggling Anderson Cooper is the closest we’ll get to The Mole seasons one and two Anderson Cooper, and for that, I’m grateful every year for this CNN New Year’s Eve mess.

I just tuned in to #CNNNYE. Why does Andy Cohen look like a different person? Spray tan? Longer hair?
