As always, your work is amazing. Thank you for being one of the great ones. New York magazine should be mortified to have never published your work - it’s a sign of how bad at finding and publishing good writing and journalism. ❤️

As always, a legit laugh out loud. Thank you.

I cannot comprehend how she ever got a job writing anything, let alone how others saw this shit and thought, “yeah, I’ll pay her to write stuff for me.” Example of so much that is so wrong in this country.

Yes!!! That person is an absolute shitbag. And he’s a Super Bowl champion so I think it’s worked out well for him.

The freaking BEST.

His draft slide remains one of the wilder draft stories. And that tweet about him either having horrible medicals or a serial k*+#%! lives rent free in my head. So happy for him.

It’s called Merlin Bird ID and it’ll help you ID birds from photos or based on your answers to a few questions. I freaking love it. 😊

Ummm, I have this app too, guys. Totally normal thing for people under 65 to have and use, I swear.

Hopefully also an exhibit of how to lose any and all jobs and be forced into obscurity with zero audience. 🤞

This is perfection. ❤️

Yes! I wish more people and media outlets would take a minute to reflect on this insane series of choices on the complete betrayal of the main mission of the institution.

I would really love for us (& the world) to experience this…

This is such an insane thought because, like most women, I have worried about how I will be perceived in every email. I’ve had multiple performance reviews where I’ve been told to worry about this more (& confident no man was ever told to be less emotional when getting emailed feedback). 🤬🤯

His “look at me” energy screams in comments like this. And I don’t think he realizes he’s shitting on the people who would have (& often did in the past) accept him and not just for what he could do for them.
November 10, 2025 at 7:28 PM
YES! I feel this in my soul!

Can’t wait to do this again, while poorer, in January! Thanks, Senator! 🤬

Interesting you mention the ballot box, fascist assistant Kaine…

Obviously she read someone else’s cue card here. Hope everyone remembers how to use their first amendment rights to remind her of the hell she’s inflicting.

It is a betrayal of every federal worker too. Hard to name a non-evil group not getting betrayed by this.
