When I said I liked my hells fresh, I WAS JOKING. [SALTY LANGUAGE ALERT: These skeets & reskeets are 100% mine & shouldn't be confused for those of any client or company that employs me. I mind my business elsewhere, this is just personal.]

Recent events are certainly keeping this song in regular rotation for me. The chorus is sure catchy. #TheGuillotine

This thread was quite something to read first thing on a Saturday morning before coffee. 😵💫 The admission of what’s likely his condition has been redacted, but I think this creep had just branded himself a Sex Addict & was using it as a cudgel to harass people in the workplace. Women hear this a lot.
Just in: Texas' former solicitor general has left the AG's office amid sex misconduct allegations and a lawsuit outlining his apparent, months of detailed disclosures to colleagues about his sexual obsession with watching an asteroid anally rape the agency's No. 2 attorney in front of his kids.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

On a similar note, as Mamdani continues to notch W after W you’re going to start seeing opinion pieces about how this could never work in any city other than New York, etc., etc. Do not engage! It’s just entrenched power bullshit and that’s all! Don’t let them make that a conversation!

These apologies are not actually helpful to the country.
What we need from these people is a promise that they will actively work to oppose the GOP in upcoming elections.
These voters did, after all, cause the entire situation we’re now in.

Three-time Trump voter: I'm looking at this awful picture of the Obamas. What an embarrassment to our country. He is not worthy of the presidency. He takes bribes blatantly, and now he's being a racist blatantly. He's pathetic as a president, and I want to apologize for supporting this rotten man.

Terrific piece here from Drew Magary (in which I'm stoked to see a link to Isaac Chotiner's unforgettable Q&A with 'Melania' cinematographer Dante Spinotti in the New Yorker, because professional journalists with integrity support each other & it's nice to see that still matters to a few of them.)
"It has no journalistic value and even less entertainment value."
'Melania' is so, so, so bad

This. As I've been arguing for decades now in prose and on film, we are now living in a time when human beings are worth less. Some of us have more and feel empowered, but most are betrayed. And society is firmly structured for such.
Grigory Yavlinsky warns that the postwar order is collapsing and that human life is no longer the organizing principle of global politics.

Kamala spent *how much* to create whatever that flop was yesterday, yet all my guy here needs to do to light it up is drop a well-timed "yeah, that one," because he reads the room. (Her "We did it, Joe" now feels very "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED banner" in retrospect: it most certainly did not STAY done.)

The pivot to video is a tax on women's time and dignity, I will die on this hill.
One thing about the enormous pressure journalists are under to make videos and TikToks and do streams that kills me is that, like… some of us are meant to be read and not seen. Commenters get SO MAD about the way I look whenever my face breaches containment! Just let me write!

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex
