Had to stop reading this for sanity but this genre of writing can only be described as "the note that lady with the crazy eyes in your apartment building tapes to the communal front door"

It's currently snowing in Brooklyn precisely the way it begins to snow when two people realize they love each other in a movie

A reminder that the only single reason for something like this is eugenicist thinking, and that they not only don't care that people will die, but they want them to

My favorite thing about socks is how they slowly suffocate your feet until you can't take it anymore

My favorite thing about British actors doing American accents is the Mickey Mouse pitch with the Minnesota cum New York inflection

My favorite thing about Emily in Paris is that all the love interests are doofy sweet interchangeable pushovers and they all gain 20lbs of muscle mass between each season

For about ten years I've thought about what a Tom Waits TV Christmas special produced in the early 80s would have been like. It's almost real to me. The set is a Depression-era shack he built and a stream of celebrity hobos keep knocking on the door and Tom goes "I wOnDEr WHo tHaT cOuLd bE"

They're bad at literally everything, including kerning

Wish one of you had had the decency to tell me what sichuan peppercorns were before tonight when I tried a new dish and fully convinced myself I HAD RABIES

This is the only quiz that matters

Is it Cyber Monday or is it Giving Tuesday Eve, she wonders, once again, to herself

A🧵 This is profoundly irresponsible by AGSulzberger’s NYT, @by-cjewett.bsky.social +eds. The normalization, “view-from-nowhere”, “born-yesterday”, stenography, “both-sides”, irresponsible headline are disgraceful. THE story is the CDC&FDA are being destroyed by antiscience & Americans will die. 1/n

the annual @nplusonemag.com Bookmatch makes me laugh SO hard that a top reward tier should simply be a recommending something equally as funny

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

the nuzzi story is fun and all but at the center of it is the elevation of a man who has dedicated his life to making children catch preventable diseases to a position where he can enact harm at enormous scale

N+1 bookmatch quiz exactly as delightful as I've heard

Everyone’s teeth are too big now. I understand the appeal of veneers sure but the mouths, they’re barely closed

My Bookmatch results from @nplusonemag.com include 3 books I've read and one that I own but haven't cracked yet. Let NO ONE say this isn't scientifically calibrated! Excited for the rest.

Tonight our mailman got into a tussle with some of our neighbors and one guy brought a giant branch from down the block to threaten him with! Which was sad because I love our mailman! But I think he may have slept with my neighbor's wife

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

Me, a development lady, for the rest of the year

On Alex's recommendation, I did this, and I bought three new books of the ten chosen for me, and if that doesn't suggest this list knows me, one selection was penned by a definite nemesis.

The @nplusonemag.com book match quiz is funny--I even cackled--and then the book recommendations included 3 favorites. A good time for a good cause: secure.givelively.org/donate/n1-fo...

Trump appoints Cuomo as head of space force or women's health panels or something tomorrow

I can't put this rhesus monkeys thing on my plate right now

Welp, I just told what I thought was an AI assistant (via phone) that I wanted to speak to a real person and, uh, turns out she was just incompetent (and extremely offended). Whoops.

I’ve started believing in hell this year!—purely, I’m sure, as a coping mechanism

Don't forget: now is your last chance to game your 2025 Spotify Wrapped results.

I’m never not thinking about: Larry, I’m on DuckTales.

I don't think I've nerded out as hard as this before on an episode of @wrongwayshow.com. Check it out

if you dont stop calling us nazis we will have the secret police disappear you to a slave labor camp

the most important thing to remember when you see eugenicists who don’t believe that autistic people should exist rambling about “the autism epidemic” is not that they’re wrong about the “cause” (although they are absolutely wrong about it); it’s that they are eugenicists

Gonna miss the "I voted" stickers

Is there anyone following me here who happens to know if the NEA (or what's left of it) is actually convening panels for the IP GAP applications? Like, does anyone have a friend who's on a panel this year and knows it's happening? I'm assuming no and 2026 grants will be canceled, but just curious.

At this point I’m convinced that every single one of us uses the word “charisma” to mean something entirely different.

I feel like I keep reading poems that would have just been better as an email to the person they're speaking to.

I am a hypermasculine and extremely powerful alpha male. As such my greatest fears are seed oils, rainbows, people who don't look like me being on TV, and preventative medicine. I cannot explain any of these fears and consider that to be your fault.

Spending a lot of time today trying to figure out how Dead Dance, Just Dance, Dancin' in Circles, and Dance in the Dark speak to each other.
