My mom (73) is gonna be crushed. She makes OJ every morning from the tube.

Is there any outlet or journalist tracking high level resignations or internal investigations following the latest Epstein dump? Summers, Mandelson, Karp... looking for an exhaustive list.

Lauren Sanchez Bezos, who has limited who can comment on her posts ever since people were mean to her about going to space, still lists "Emmy-winning journalist" first in her IG bio of accomplishments.

There are bats in the local arthouse theater here in Savannah, so they had to close for two weeks. They got all but one. They warned us it would likely fly toward the screen during tonight’s screening of A24’s Pillion. The bat appeared right as Alexander Skarsgård did. The crowd lost it. Cinema!

This is tremendous. Take the time to watch it.

This season of Bridgerton is wild.

Duke never beating its reputation for keeping Ariely around and counting Stephen Miller among its alums. Shamelessness is a Duke pre-req.

News orgs like NYT and WashPo covering ICE and federal enforcement efforts should drop their paywall in the communities being targeted. Should be treated like any other emergency where access to information is both vital and life saving.

My work just held a session on legal guidance for covering protests yesterday, now two journalists are arrested for doing just that. The First Amendment might be the new 'disfavored' right among this admin, but when it goes everything else falls with it.

Lock in your Kalshi bets tonight.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Referendum today to protect Gullah-Geechee community from zoning changes, seen as a way to displace one of Coastal Georgia's oldest Black settlements. www.gpb.org/news/2026/01...

CARNEY: “.. You cannot live within the lie of mutual benefit through integration when integration becomes the source of your subordination.” 🔥

A new Harry Styles album and this very poignant trailer for Bad Bunny's halftime show. Nature is healing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFKL...

Waiting for a tariff ruling, among many other significant decisions, from an unelected body of nine is bringing back a lot of childhood religious trauma.

Good night, and good luck.

Bloomberg with the clear-eyed headline.

Why is this headline so threatening @peoplemag.bsky.social?

Hot new calendar for 2026. Disappointed by the lack of shirtless economists.

Thank God it's Christmas.

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

The new Jonas Brothers Christmas movie is funny and good. I still can't tell them apart.

If we can endure two years of Wicked press, we deserve to be rewarded with a loving Wiz remake with Ryan Coogler directing.

Had the best time talking with a former director of the U.S. mint and a penny sculptor for this ep on the penny. A bite that did not make it in was that the penny really is like having a little national monument in your pocket, making Lincoln's virtues accessible to all. www.npr.org/2025/12/08/n...

As a remote employee, my holiday party FOMO is so palpable this time of year.

Worth the price of admission.

Going to Art Basel this weekend for the first time, so I made some (mostly edible) earrings. Art school education hasn't gone completely to waste.

Merry AF.

I don't know what to tell her.

If the CFPB survives this admin (big ?), the next admin should be empowered to take on dynamic pricing. This video was really well done on the evolution of price tags to data harvesting loyalty apps. Deleting my McDonald's app today. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/28/o...

Jimmy Cliff did one of the very very early Tiny Desks in 2010, when the whole thing was still really getting figured out. youtu.be/QYtIT6J7G10?...

If my local movie theater can carry 3 foot gummy snakes, they should also carry raisinettes. Signed, a millennial who was only allowed raisinettes and grew to like them, actually.

Needs a claw clip

U.S. economy 🤝 Tesla autopilot (accident waiting to happen)

One of the hardest things about moving from academia to journalism was the fetishization of access — and SCOOPS — and this Nuzzi/Lizza discourse underlines why it always felt like shit and still does

As a Bravo fan, hard to believe Olivia Nuzzi isn't angling for a "friend of" slot with all the storylines she's in this week.

We had a fun episode today where the whole Indicator tried to bid on a jar of coins without overbidding what was actually in the jar. Nobel Laureate explains this dilemma: The Winner's Curse. www.npr.org/2025/11/17/n...

"Wow—you are talking like a baby angel raised by puppies in a beachfront palace with no right angles, who has never attempted to wrench useful information out of a government agency’s PIO." A banger from @caity.bsky.social on the imminent penny death spiral. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

With the tariff reversal, my dream of starting a Savannah Banana farm goes up in smoke.

Extremely jealous of my friends back in WNC who got to see the northern lights. (Shared from a friend's FB.)

An absolutely gloomy aesthetic. Workers staring blankly into their monitors while a Grammy nominated artist is performing to no one. It's giving Lumon's Choreography and Merriment Department meets return-to-office mandate. Anyway, here's a link to REAL Tiny Desk: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

This penny obit actually made me kind of emotional. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/12/b...

We made an episode today for everyone sad or mad about the FIFA ticketing racket. www.npr.org/2025/11/11/n...

I covered #utpol for several years at KUER, and honestly am stunned. The donut has triumphed over the pizza gerrymander.

The Simparica/Nexus flea, tick and heartworm industrial complex is the biggest racket in pet care. How did dog owners get suckered into this for so long.

Me when Google or Meta gives me an AI summary of something I never asked for.
