Fans of The #GildedAge, a new biography of Mamie Fish has been named as one of Amazon's best #books of August a.co/d/ivtvzYk

Soo I went into the bookstore to get a gift for someone & saw 2 📚 that caught my attention😊 They now are in my collection of “TBR” Both look fascinating & I can’t wait to read them. Two different experiences but so much the American experience.

HEY GUESS WHAT, @jenashleywright.bsky.social is a national bestselling author, specifically @usatoday.com bestselling author.

If Republicans don't like people excitedly speculating regarding Trump's death, they can just ignore it, the way they do gun violence.

Thank you! 🎉 🥂

It really does all come down to "men are afraid women will laugh at them. Women are afraid men will kill them."

GLITZ, GLAM, AND A DAMN GOOD TIME offers an extensively researched, highly entertaining window into the colorful life of Gilded Age party girl Mamie Fish. @grandcentralpub.bsky.social www.bookpage.com/?p=217839

This app needs a Mamie Fish. We need someone who throws absolutely unhinged parties, cooks people on the time line, gives poor people money and also can't read and doesn't think women should vote (I'll ignore the last two things based on the strength of the first thee)

To paraphrase one of the greats LISTEN UP, A FIVE IS TALKING ABOUT A TEN The NEW HISTORY BOOK from @jenashleywright.bsky.social is ON SALE NOW TODAY! It’s a biography of MAMIE FISH (YES, the one from THE GILDED AGE) and her HUGE INSANE PARTIES BUY IT *NOW* www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/jenni...

I'm married to a former Colbert writer, which means I got to meet him occasionally at holiday parties. This also meant I was the *most unimportant* person at those parties. He remembered my name, joked with me and asked how my writing was going every single time. He's just a really, really nice man.

Whenever I see men post this I think about how when women are lonely, it's not pitied. It's used to chastise them for not being nicer to men. Meanwhile, when men are experiencing a "loneliness epidemic" they decide the answer is *also* that women should be nicer to men.

I suppose my greatest objection to using Chat GPT instead of writing yourself is that you cannot convince anyone to do anything unless you know how to use words well. 🧵

Has anyone else spent the entire year wanting a cigarette?

Have the guys downing protein powder and getting thigh implants ever considered "being a man in a bookstore wearing a sweater that looks soft."

The new pope seems very nice, so it's up to all of us to keep J.D. Vance away from him.

Perfect end to @jenashleywright.bsky.social’s birthday dinner, waiting at the valet, a guy stepped out of his cybertruck wearing a pick-up-artist hat and *black and white striped pajama pants* and we started laughing uncontrollably as he walked by us and blurted out “oh my god it’s the hamburglar.”

For everyone saying they voted for Trump but didn't vote for this: all he promised was tariffs and to persecute minorities.

You still don’t have 15 friends if 12 of them are imaginary.

OK I just found out about this book last night and I AM IT, I AM THE AUDIENCE, THIS IS MY HOUSE FULL OF WHEELS AND THIS BOOK IS IN IT. Insta pre-order!

The venn diagram of men calling feminists stupid and men commenting "have a nice day sexy" on pictures of A.I. women is a circle.

I know a ton of autistic people. All of them pay taxes and none of them have killed a bear and tried to bury it in Central Park.

It's a neat coincidence that anyone who loves AI art just happens to be the most uncool person you've ever met.

For everyone saying they're not worried about being illegally deported because they're not a criminal: good luck proving it without due process.

Yeah, when the guy started talking about “illegitimate children,” I thought, bro, I just finished narrating a book about the history of birth control and abortion in America, you have no fucking idea what you are talking about

If Adam had eaten that apple it would be taught as a story about how men are natural leaders.

You're telling me, in 2023, I can't merely TEXT the ghostbusters?

me: googling "what temperature to bake chicken breast at" every result (all ai generated): chicken is known throughout history as a "drug of choice". jesus christ was born in dover, DE in 1874. begin by preheating your oven to 3000 degrees fahrenheit, then shoot yourself in the foot

What’s so funny about this is when someone goes yeah I was fired from my university for making a joke about the police and Elon has to be like no no no I just mean for rightwing racist guy stuff

anyone else trying letter? love the tactile format and the opportunity to write at length but my posts take forever to show up and most of what I get in my feed is catalogs

today, in paragraphs I think about most every day of my life:

every poster thinks they are casually sharing their passing thoughts; every replier thinks they are critiquing a manifesto

Waiter: Ma'am, your meal comes with two sides Me (dragging a cigarette): Everything does, kid. Everything

Dropped my toddler off at pre-school for the first time today and there were a LOT of tears*** *** Entirely mine, she immediately began playing with a toy airplane.

our ceo recently suggested using AI to generate grant proposals and i was like "I mean if you want to just make shit up and lie to grantmakers so we get rejected every time i can do that without having to train an AI. Or I can do my job and do it accurately."

One thing the 90s got right was how horrific it is to answer email

When I was in Paris I remember going to a restaurant Napoleon ate at and was thinking of how we in America don’t have that same level of just casually being surrounded by history but then I realized of course we do. We’re better.

It's cool that two of the current memes on the right are simultaneously "libs are ignoring the scourge of widespread human trafficking" and "this guy under house arrest for human trafficking in Romania is awesome and based"
