Got asked to go on The Sporkful and talk about going on a GLP-1 and the whole thing got super personal and deep. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Greg Baxtrom had a little restaurant empire going in Brooklyn. It was all gone by last year, but he survived. I talked to him about his journey, sobriety, losing it all, and gaining perspective. www.grubstreet.com/article/greg...

For my fellow Sam Wasson heads.

Wrote about my daughter’s beautiful face that I hide behind a bagel emoji. www.thecut.com/article/bage...

Persepolis and Maus are the two graphic novels that they’ll be talking about and studying in 200 years if books are still a thing.

It was a joy to be a fan of Doug Shaw's.

One of my favorite diners is closing. www.grubstreet.com/article/cozy...

We’re all just a rat in a cage…talking about books.

As for books - @jasondiamond.bsky.social had a wonderful hybrid memoir/pop culture appreciation out a few years ago. I just reread it & fell in love all over again. It's about surviving a terrible childhood, finding your way & loving John Hughes movies. More here: chicagoreader.com/arts-culture...

Watching all the tech people get laid off because of corporate greed a few years after seeing a thousand idiots respond “Learn to code” to journalists posting about getting laid off because of corporate greed is some real capitalism snake eating its own tail kinda stuff.

Decided I’m going to AWP for the first time next year because it’s in Chicago. I want to rent a bus and make people eat beef while they read their stories.

It’s really hilarious to me when my daughter walks over and goes “Daddy! I pooped!” Then walks away.

yowza, @passionweiss.bsky.social uncovers joan didion's unexpurgated spring '67 hang with the grateful dead, rehearsing at the heliport in sausalito (excerpted in "slouching towards bethlehem"), now in the new york public library. www.powmag.net/p/a-little-d... ht @dadastrain.bsky.social

Wrote about being obsessed with raising my daughter to be the happiest, best version of herself and not caring if somebody calls me a “girl dad” or whatever. www.thecut.com/article/why-...

I was asked what I think the worst song to have sex to is. I knew my answer right away. open.substack.com/pub/taragian...

Had to double check this wasn't a menswear post on @jasondiamond.bsky.social instagram account

This is a great essay by @jasondiamond.bsky.social and worth your time to read.

As much as things have changed since writer Jason Diamond was his daughter Lulu’s age, the possibility still terrifies him, he writes in this essay for The Cut.

Will I pass my ADHD down to my daughter? www.thecut.com/article/do-k...

Was just mistaken for Jerry Saltz.

Ill always have some hope as long as there are still people making stuff by hand. For the NYT Styles section, I wrote about a few folks keeping embroidery alive in America. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/30/s...

Yesterday a 30-something mom told me Lulu is lucky to have a “cool Gen. X parent.”

My most naive take on anything AI is I can’t wrap my head around somebody saying they want to be a writer and then they get AI to do the work for them. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/19/b...

A short story about writers at AWP but they’ve been dead the entire time.

I have a column at @thecut.com now where I’ll be writing about fatherhood, and I figured I’d kick it off by talking about how I decided to start taking Zepbound because I want to do everything possible to be able to annoy my daughter for at least another 50 years. www.thecut.com/article/figu...

I will be chasing that blissful colonoscopy sleep I just had for a long time.

I’ve been thinking with all the talk of colorectal cancer being up in younger folks that now is the time to bring them back.

I wrote about the cowardly lions of corporate America under Trump and their decades-long push to shape the country’s political life and democracy, no matter their protestations to the contrary now. Gift link: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Going to see Iron and Wine at a winery tonight.

At least it’s pączki season.

Nah. We knew how this would end.

i was writing about the tuna melt 10 years ago!!! jukeboxgraduate.com/remnants-ode... originally wrote it for some sandwich project @jasondiamond.bsky.social was putting together.

I’ll always be grateful to the very scary skinhead who basically bullied me into listening to Billy Bragg when I was 15. consequence.net/2026/01/bill...

Ever!

Sorry to hear Dan McQuade has passed on. I’ve read about a thousand things on malls closing and this one he wrote for @defector.com ranks among my favorites. defector.com/a-mall-i-lov...

something needs to be done about this. calling on @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social to immediately make @jasondiamond.bsky.social the bagel czar and get this fixed. www.grubstreet.com/article/why-...

Everyone is making fun of this but I hope I look that good when I'm Fran Lebowitz's age

Minneapolis remains my favorite city I’ve never lived in.

cannot tot up the levels of dumb that is "invade MPLS in the winter." Not only do we all thrive in these conditions, we build ART INSTALLATIONS in them.

This is my first step towards an EJOT.

I’ve been playing Prince pretty steadily for my daughter for the first 19 months of her life and this morning she heard “Let’s Go Crazy” and lit up. She gets it.

If there ends up being another Bears/Patriots Super Bowl it will be proof we’re in the matrix.

The first morning waking up after my cat of 17 years passed away. Suddenly realizing what a little mental assassin she was. Like, I realized she wasn’t around to drink my water in the middle of the night and I didn’t go to the bathroom at 6 AM to her yelling at me to let her drink from the faucet.

My wife is currently in Chicago and called me freaking out because it’s snowing and all I could say was “It’s so magical!!!”

Breaking: Green Bay sucks.

It’s kinda wild having lived through Bush lying about Iraq and Afghanistan not being about oil to see the US now being like “Yeah, we’re doing war crimes for oil. So what?”

I keep joking that I’m going to start a “Jewish Dads for Brad” group but I might actually do it?
