If I walked into a bodega and saw this cat? I would be committing theft that night 😻😻

All super rich guys sound the same now. It’s all “I sleep four hours a night and spend the other twenty hours a day developing a product that’s going to bring us the best widespread poverty anyone’s ever seen.”

The man is a hateful bigot. Full stop. And so unbearably smug. The media does this ALL the time with shitty white talking heads.
Christopher Rufo is just a white supremacist, and I think it’s silly that we’re still doing news stories where he’s called a conservative activist or some other harmless sounding term.

If we're not at war, Pete Hegseth is a murderer. If we are at war, Pete Hegseth is still a murderer. He's a murderer. And you don't need to go to The Hague to hold him accountable because there are perfectly good, American laws AGAINST MURDER.
My latest in @thenation.com
Pete Hegseth Should Be Charged With Murder
No matter how you look at the strikes on alleged “drug boats”—as acts of war or attacks on civilians—Hegseth has committed a crime and should be prosecuted.

This is scarily accurate.
With the way things have been going, I think there should be a universally recognized "no guilt trip" amnesty for cancelling plans you made more than a week ago. Like, last week? I have lived several lives since then. I know not the person I once was, and this new person definitely can’t make it so

One of the biggest problems with “Strong floor, no ceiling” besides being fucking pandering and dumb is that it’s illogical on its face. A house with no ceiling will have weak floors corroded by the elements. But sure, let’s make it the new rallying cry of the Democratic Party.

Imagine you wake up every day and go to work for a felon, sexual predator, and unrepentant racist. Every day. You have to flush away any integrity or goodness you may have had. And today you spent your time extolling his virtues and his intelligence while he literally fell asleep.

Fucking baffling.

I feel this with every part of my overladen bookshelf.
Amazon, please stop asking me if books I bought month ago met my expectations. I still have unread books I bought in 2012. Be real.

I don’t need any more information about Tarantino’s opinions as long as I live. Truly. If he wants to make movies, he should go make movies! But sharing what Tarantino said *on Bret Easton Ellis’ podcast* is like a turducken of I Absolutely Do Not Care Even Slightly.

"Pain in my Heart" is in my top five favorite song list. Those opening horns...
Otis Redding was my grandmother’s favorite singer. Every year on the anniversary of his death my pious gentle grandma would get drunk as a skunk and cry over his 8 Tracks.

I saw a comment today that said, “sending big parasocial hugs” and oof. In time we’re going to have real conversations about how social media and parasociality have screwed up our concept of connection and friendship.

I say this knowing that online connections are real and valid. And yet.

Try to live your life in such a way that you are not called out in public by an illustrated children’s book series.

Pretty impressive that through this entire scandal and press blitz, RFK Jr. hasn't lost focus on his life's work of shortening the life expectancy of the average American and endangering the lives of children.

Sometimes this only thing keeping me from hiding under my bed is bodega kitties. They are the best and mine is both the sweetest bubba and a literal demon. I love her.

*The perfect kitty below is not my bodega cat. To clarify 😉

The number of people who have a shoulder shrug-y attitude about generative AI drives me nuts. Particularly writers! It's theft, it's terrible for the environment, and it's THEFT.

Decided today was the day to watch "Grave of the Fireflies" and now I will need a seven-hour nap and a weighted blanket.

I am so ready for Me Too, Chapter Two
When a cancelled performer reënters the culture, we expect them to offer us a great work, channelling their newfound clarity into the finest art they’ve ever made. With his new comedy show and début novel, has Louis C.K. met the bar?

Louis C.K.’s Next Chapter
In a new standup special, and a début novel, the comedian navigates murky, post-#MeToo terrain: not quite exiled, not quite welcomed back.
