Editors have a really hard job, and the good ones can make something unreadable readable, and the great ones can make something unreadable into something good. But they're basically invisible, until someone tries to write without one.

I’ve reported on so many regular people being threatened and villified by conspiracy theories and hatred for people, many times spread by MTG. It’s awful when anyone has to deal with harassment and threats and I wonder if the congresswoman can look inward, too

So many vulnerable people were hurt, harassed and raped by these ghouls and now—I’m worried—it’s gonna become hehe haha lurid internet circus instead of a long overdue moral reckoning. I’m scared of who we all are becoming. That man has brought us ALL low.

The far right is obsessed with Lord of the Rings and Musk keeps posting about "hobbits" because modern scientific racism owes more to fantasy worlds and gaming systems than genetic science, and they see both as effective mediums for right-wing propaganda www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

I wrote about the TikTok social experiment that's gone super viral for @garbageday.email:

A woman is calling up religious organizations around the country and asking if they can provide her with a can of formula for her starving baby — the results are shocking. www.garbageday.email/p/a-more-but...

Newly unsealed documents show that JPMorgan alerted federal regulators to potentially suspicious transactions involving Jeffrey Epstein and top Wall Street figures.

[These documents were unsealed because @nytimes.com and @wsj.com fought together in court.] 🎁🔗 www.nytimes.com/2025/10/30/b...

i’m continually struck by the joy zohran has brought to this election and the absolute venom with which it’s been met.
For New Yorkers who work the night shift, it can be nearly impossible to participate in political life of our city.

So tonight we’re bringing this campaign to them — starting with taxi drivers waiting at LaGuardia.

PRINCE ANDREW HAS BEEN STRIPPED OF HIS TITLES AND EVICTED FROM ROYAL LODGE.

In other totally unrelated news, more than 100 court filings related to Jeffrey Epstein’s finances are being unsealed today by order of a federal judge: www.courthousenews.com/judge-to-uns...

It will be interesting to see what will happen to the "Duke of York" title from here on out.

Historically, the title has been given to the second son of the monarch. I wonder if Andrew's association with it means it'll be put back on the shelf for a few generations...

For those wondering, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor will be moving to a property on the Sandringham estate in Norfolk, UK.
