Olivia Nuzzi has done a valuable service to American letters. For a country full of writers deeply insecure about their own prose, her work is a balm on the troubled soul. I'd even call it a profound inspiration

I cannot emphasize enough that when you share something, you need to verify it is true before celebrating.

This is how we get complacent and believe that the battle is done and over and the enemy is defeated.

We had such a great night on Tuesday, but this isn't over. Not even close.

The contrast between the people who get to treat the shutdown as an extended vacation and the people scrambling to make ends meet is galling.

My Halloween present to myself is a metal concert. I love how many cheap concerts there are around here

Even if this goes nowhere because too many people in Congress are ghouls, I'm glad he's trying.
🚨I'm bringing a bill to the floor right now to pay ALL federal workers, servicemembers and contractors during the shutdown — and to stop Trump's illegal firings.

They have nothing to do with this shutdown and shouldn't suffer the consequences. Tune in:

Peter Thiel coming out with LUFFY IS JESUS is a shitpost come to life. HOW is this fucking real.
It's the funniest and worst thing in the world. How is this man so bad at media literacy.

Both seasons of Interview with the Vampire are on Netflix. One of the best literary adaptations in the history of television, it takes all the source material's strengths and transmogrifies all its weaknesses, like The Terror. Cruel, disgusting, sexy as fuck. Plus: Eric Bogosian! Do not walk, RUN.

It’s so annoying that we all have to just continually point out how rules around/between decorum and violation are applied asymmetrically to vulnerable groups versus the people who are always hassling them, and it’s extra insulting that the people in charge are trying to lol it away.

People who end up the main character of the day often seem to have decided to skip (or lack) a group chat to air their thoughts.
As someone who has been in the public eye--in a small way, but for decades--I say this to help, truly: Some gripes go in the group chat, work slack, get aired out in a bar or phone call. Publicly? You pick your moments & your targets & use the perch & megaphone you have mindfully. Doing so matters.

I appreciate that when an anime or JRPG presents a religion with the aesthetics of the Catholic church, it means the protagonists are gonna have to fight God.

It's nice to know how the stakes will escalate.
