Writer, editor, publisher, professor. Some people call me a bad feminist and by some people I mean me.
Read that defense of Olivia Nuzzi and 1. The editors allowed the phrase “smack drab” to be published. And 2. they allowed the author to compare Nuzzi’s self-induced situation to lynching. Lynching!

Let me get my Haitian football jersey together ASAP. I want to be ready when we go to the matches.

I always check the avatar of people who talk shit online and I am never, ever surprised.

What's the... point here, Steven? Is this your way of insulting me? Are you having some kind of random outburst? Do you need help pronouncing the word? With some guidance, I can better answer your question.

I can't stop thinking about the purported drug smugglers being murdered by the US military. The punishment for drug offenses isn't the death penalty. This is just bloodlust and men in suits playing with lives they don't care about. It's truly grotesque and gravely compromises this country.

Like. I. Said. These people aren’t leaving NYC.

The virulence of transphobia in the UK is so terrible. They are so relentless about it! (I am not exempting the US or the rest of the world. For now I am specifically thinking about the UKs particular brand of BS)

So this woman is being interviewed, gently, about the salacious memoir she wrote, and then can’t talk about what she wrote and falls back on the damsel in distress tactic? I cannot believe how do may people elevated her and continue to do so.
this is extraordinary. too many people in my profession have circled the wagons around someone who lacks the moral sense of a child

50 Cent is a world class, hall of fame hater. This is a compliment.

You would think, from his newsletter posts, that Ryan Lizza was some kind of saint in his former relationship. The gossip of it all is interesting enough but the lack of self-awareness on the author's part is WILD! He's not the good guy in this scenario.

You will receive a lot of entreaties today, all of them worthy. I just want to bring your attention to Hope for Haiti, which does amazing work. My dad is on the board and one of the best things about HfH is that in the ground it is run by Haitians hopeforhaiti.com/givingtuesday/
Giving Tuesday - Hope for Haiti
As one of the most trusted organizations working to reduce poverty in southern Haiti, Hope for Haiti is focused on providing support and partnership to the Haitian people every single day.

The White House’s new anti-media website includes denunciations of:

-ABC, which bribed the president
-CBS, which bribed the president and moved away from fact-based journalism trying to appeal to him and his fans
-WaPo, which spiked a Harris endorsement and tilts coverage in Trump’s favor

Fools.

This week my niece started talking to me about "male matcha manipulators" and once I understood what she was talking about, I could not stop laughing. Language is alive.

Some of you really like bringing soft, empty thinking to the virtual doorstep of one of the smartest scholars working. It’s FASCINATING.
