STEM is so cool. Science is amazing. Kids should develop curiosity about how the universe works and proficiency in uncovering its secrets, so that they can most effectively optimize clickthrough rates on banner ads at the bottom of VC-funded website-apps.

For @vulture.com, I wrote about 2024 as the year of elevated trash: movies that feel like guilty pleasures but with a prestige sheen.
This Was the Year of Elevated Trash
There’s no shame in being a little trashy. Three of the year’s best movies are silly, soapy, or vulgar, but with a prestige sheen.

instead of posting something embarrassing on Al Gore's internet you can just text a trusted friend who is offline, ensuring the thought is out of your head but your dignity is maintained

It's Christmas. Tomorrow there will be mass discounts on Christmas goods at toy stores, and other retailers like Walmart. Be nice to retail staff and respect picket lines at Starbucks and Amazon. People will also post listings for brand-new, unwanted gifts on Facebook Marketplace.

The Chinese restaurant we ate at, which serves exclusively halal food and has a huge Muslim customer base, was blasting the entirety of Sabrina Carpenter’s Short ‘n Sweet in honor of Christmas, and, honestly, this wild mix of influences is the main thing I love about this stupid country.

"The demolition crew didn’t give the couple time to save their belongings, so mixed in with the broken pieces of concrete and rebar was most of everything they owned: Clothes, photo albums, birth certificates. 'Forget the furniture,' said Abu Diab, closing his eyes. 'They destroyed our history.'"
Fakhri Abu Diab led the effort to protect homes in East Jerusalem’s al-Bustan neighborhood from demolition. In November, Israel destroyed his house.
After decades fighting demolitions, Palestinian sees own home wrecked
Jerusalem officials say they are razing structures as part of an “urban renewal” project. Rights groups fear Israel is pressuring Palestinian residents to leave.

Reupping this one in case you’re trying to busy yourself avoiding family
The piece I'm probably the most proud of is this one on food's relationship to queerness, both as something that can mark one as queer and the long history of people using food to queer their bodies www.eater.com/24162871/foo...
The Food That Makes You Gay
Too many people grow up fearing what food might reveal about themselves. Maybe it’s time we embrace self-discovery.
