I was made to fly an airline called “southwest.” They took away my baggage because of my low standing. I haven’t picked up baggage from a carousel in 20 years because of my packing skills. To an old man they do this!

It’s not exactly escapism, but I love the ten-year-old girl protagonist of
@shteyngart.bsky.social
‘s latest comic dystopia. The NYT’s exceptionally sloppy review almost put me off it, but it’s clear Dwight Garner barely read it.

So proud of this documentary about a very sensitive subject now appearing on the @newyorkermag website. It’s short (the doc, I mean), it’s funny and I genuinely hope it’ll make people think of circumcision in a new light.

So proud to be part of this excellent documentary on the perils of botched circumcisions. Mohels are already up in arms, one comparing my battered schlong to Israel's decimation of Gaza. It's super short (the doc, I mean), so give it a spin and decide for yourself!
