Happy to present my debut for @thebaffler.com... an interview with Muntadhar al-Zaidi, the man who threw both shoes at George W. Bush thebaffler.com/latest/a-hum...

When Brat Summer took off, Charli xcx didn't sell out and go broad. What her new movie imagines is...what if she did?

Presenting a reading series musing on a timeless staple of digital media: The viral, narcissistic or delusional confessional essay...

Returning to my War on Christmas to humbly offer my own failures and to take inspiration from “Lil Timmy Tim” Chalamet: open.substack.com/pub/thedesko...

Yesterday my final piece as an AV Club staff writer went up. I’ve been musing over post-pandemic tv since the beginning of the year and personally found it under discussed at the COVID 5-year mark. Really proud of how it turned out❤️ www.avclub.com/2025-tv-covi...

Emma is such an incredible writer with elite taste & I am so bummed we are not coworkers anymore!!! a huge loss for us at AVC!

Last month, I was laid off from The A.V. Club. Still trying to figure out what comes next after officially becoming a #MediaLayoffVictim, but in the meantime feeling very thankful to have spent 3 years writing for a publication I grew up reading and loving <3

Fleshed out this argument—about arrested development culture and Christmas—in a new essay, which you can read here: open.substack.com/pub/thedesko...

I’m so very sad that I don’t get to work with MK & I encourage everyone to read her beautiful writing!!! It’s a stark reminder of what The A.V. Club is losing out on:

Earlier this month, I got laid off from The A.V. Club after 3.5 years. It changed my life and I’m going to miss it so much. Don’t know what’s coming next but I do feel more committed to the work than ever. I wrote about it on Substack if you care to check it out ❤️ open.substack.com/pub/thedesko...

Just remembered that how you spend your days is how you spend your life

my phone broke over the weekend and I can't get into a single account on my laptop because everything now requires I verify with an SMS code... the apps have become too secure... the cure is worse than the disease...

rest in piss

The reason everything seems like a “recession indicator” is because we’re in a recession. If not depression. Btw

So good

Where’s a deus ex machina when you need one!!!

There's nothing chaotic about the race! The runaway winner of the Democratic primary has a comfortable ongoing lead in the polls! The only chaotic element is the mind-traffic of the small circle of self-appointed civic elites melting down over their refusal to accept a straightforward situation.

Here's the first round of what I've been working on for the past few months: A 32-combatant tournament bracket to determine the greatest action franchise ever made. There's also a reader poll if you want to correct our choices www.avclub.com/best-action-...

I’m in Cabo

Get ready for a weeklong slugfest at The A.V. Club: Starting Monday, September 1, the biggest action film franchises will be battling it out in our bracket. You can have your say in the reader poll.

I think planned obsolescence is really wack!!!

The New York Times recently reported that the primary audience of The Summer I Turned Pretty is 25- to 54-year-old women… three of us weighed in on what makes the YA love triangle so irresistible! Cc: @emmakeates.bsky.social & @salonig.bsky.social www.avclub.com/the-summer-i...

We’re not coworkers anymore so it’s appropriate to joke around like this

What if hbo max learned that when I click on an episode of something I’ve watched before it’s not because I want to watch the end credits 💔

It was so wonderful talking to @jamesfolta.com for @literaryhub.bsky.social about books, my forthcoming book (out Sunday), and writing in general :)

It’s so funny that he doesn’t seem to understand that he lost by, like, a lot
