Stunning story by @jesspish.bsky.social: He became the most famous sheriff in the U.S. after his hunt for his wife's "real killers" inspired a $60 million 1973 blockbuster ($430 million in today dollars). It was all a lie and his hometown can't deal. slate.com/news-and-pol...

I wrote for @slate.com about a legendary (and violent) Tennessee sheriff who more likely than not murdered his wife and the people who want to keep him on a pedestal. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Dear How to Do It: Can I say something, or am I being uptight? slate.trib.al/RC9K98l

I don't get nervous about writing too often, but filling Dear Prudence's shoes had me a little shook. Nonetheless, I think this is pretty good advice, about pulling your weight, when (or whether) to have kids, and what to do when your partner just won't stop talking

I spent election night with Cuomo and Sliwa supporters. It wasn't as depressing as it sounds. slate.trib.al/oI9KfmD

Dear Prudie: I’m worried about making this life-altering decision and regretting it, at least for those first hard years. slate.trib.al/kS5KWNT

Even though he got smacked by Mamdani, it kinda blows me away that after all of that, Cuomo was *still* able to crack 40% of the vote. I can't wait to see the demo/geo breakdown there. But in any event, it's over. And here's @nitishpahwa.com to pack him all the way up.
