Phoebe Snow is BACK bitches (actually omg she ties right into their neo-Nazi white supremacy too yikes)

Another disturbing AI effect (thread)

The trick is to get a woman to start it. They usually have longer fingernails.

Olivia Nuzzi's career is just the natural evolutionary next step from the "ladies bare your worst secrets for clicks" personal-essay culture of the late 00s.

"THINGS HAPPEN"?!?!?!?!?

The phases of an English muffin: 1. Not quite toasted 2. Not quite toasted 3. Not quite toasted 4. Not quite toasted 5. Burnt to to a crisp I prefer a stage 4 English muffin.

NEW: The French overseas department of Mayotte, an island territory in the Indian Ocean and a former French colony, is failing to provide education to all children. Read more from HRW: www.hrw.org/news/2025/11...

One girl said “it doesn’t matter if you ban a book because everyone can find that information online” and then I blew their minds by talking about how your search history can be monitored and sold to the government without your permission, but your library borrowing history requires a warrant.

I guess if you name your news site with the Greek word for "end," people are going to expect a killer kicker.

OK well I did at least just learn that Nuzzi was a child actor so that explains a lot a lot a lot

You guys realize that taxing people to pay for services isn't socialism, right? This is just how governments work.

because wtf else do we pay taxes for?!

I have set this up and it is a huge load off. Now if only someone could fix the problem of the first 20 results for any general query being links to AI slop websites.

Still thinking about how someone I know just recently asked me--cheerfully, helpfully--if I use AI for fact-checking. 😭

Capitalism is some kind of brain infection. It's amazing he can go from "insurance industry is making a gross amount of profit" to a solution that is completely the opposite of public health care.

Just found Audobon's fave

The ideal gambling venue should look and smell like the worst decision you've ever made in your life. I support one single exception to the indoor smoking ban in NY for this purpose. RETVRN.

Military force *to do what* am I losing my ever-lovin' mind

the guardian also had a White House correspondent weigh in and, ngl, I think our take is better

imagine having Epstein as your Cyrano. on second thought, don't.

sashay shante

yeah nyc really took a step back when they closed all the OTB parlors

They're going to try to explain away this Bubba email with autocorrect aren't they

oh no oh no!!

George Santos might do more for prison abolition than anyone!

Satisfying -- databases to the rescue!

@merriam-webster.com On the website, it seems like it used to be, if I clicked back into the search field, whatever I typed would overwrite what was there. Now it just adds on, so I wind up searching "Catherine wheelsynchrotron" for ex. Did this really change or am I just imagining the old function?

I've had some really research-heavy editing jobs the last month, and holy hell the amount of AI nonsense I have to get past has massively increased in just the last six months, it feels like. We are getting really close to the internet being unusable for retrieving any kind of real knowledge.

One thing about Epstein emails and Trump's little fling with Musk is that it's a reminder that having lots of money makes it really hard to make actual friends.

Reading the NYC Ferry report and excited to see they're considering a 125th Street stop, an extension on the Astoria line. E 90th extension gave us Mt Sinai to Mt Sinai. This one would give us Costco to Costco. edc.nyc/sites/defaul...

Between the typos and the misspellings and horrible fonts, I can barely read these emails. Pro tip: they could release every single file into the public record and no one would care, so long as they select all > change to Comic Sans.

And then all those emails having an undertone of deepest perversion.

red aurora said: what if all 3 at once “Aurorae are said to have foretold the death of Julius Caesar (44 BCE) and predicted the American Civil War (1860), and the French Revolution.”

With friends like these!

So many men, including the ones in media, are so obsessed with power they'll overlook anything to be near it, or do anything to feel like they're part of it. Meanwhile Melinda Gates apparently took one look at the scene and went "nope never again."

Can we keep the aesthetics of bullfighting without the bulls? The trajes are still some of the hottest fashion ever invented. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/12/w...

The wonder of nature is the wonder of nature.

NYC aurora check: nope but it’s pretty anyway.

The "fun" thing about ever-updating subscription software is that there are new and interesting glitches practically every time you use it! (This is an Adobe subskeet.)

😵‍💫 (but seriously, this is kind of cool -- it's like language version of fractals)

The power of a good editor (with alt text). WA State House Rep @jayapal.house.gov has some notes for the NYT newsletter “The Morning”

It seems to be growing on its own. Mold?

I think JCO is in the process of writing the same novel I was working on briefly last year, about an obscenely rich man who finally gets brought around to doing good. And if she's not, she should be.

Hi writers! I’m looking to assign a couple of features for Slate before the end of the year. If you have anything in mind that you think would be a fit please send me a pitch! Jenée.Desmond- [email protected] or dm me. RTs are appreciated so this can reach more people. Thanks!

Totally thought these were new postage stamps.

I was just accosted by a stranger in the grocery store, an angry person who wanted to pick a fight, and for the first time ever, I found myself thinking...maybe it would feel good to be that kind of person! Shouting whatever you want and calling people names--maybe there's something to it!

Details: The payment, made from a fund for migration and refugee assistance, would be the first government-to-government transfer from that account, which was set up by Congress to respond to humanitarian crises.

As an author who gets astonishingly screwed by Audible for the privilege of listing an audiobook there, I encourage this boycott. (Get All Strangers Are Kin from your library or anywhere else — even off Hoopla I make more than from Audible!)

Fine let them all think this while we get the guillotines sharpened.
