L.L. Bean has taken the position that it won’t support the Save the Forest Service movement, with messaging along the lines of avoiding political engagement.

"I'm just contemplating the fact that one moron, one psychotic moron, one capricious idiot, has completely bollocksed up the global economy not only to the detriment of his own people, but the detriment of the planet. ... It's like how much more of this can the planet take?"

Six Reasons Why Everything in Publishing Takes So Long Publishing takes so long because . . . 1. Because each book is individual. The beautiful and difficult thing about publishing is that i...

Was just reminded of this blog post today and it still holds true: "Six Reasons Why Everything in Publishing Takes So Long." It's more about philosophical factors than business ones, but the business stuff takes a ton of time too. (And there are fewer editors & less support.)

The hungry red panda at the Prospect Park Zoo? Adorable.

The HungryPanda delivery app scamming small businesses? Not adorable. So they will be paying $580,000 back.

We'll keep pursuing companies that take advantage of New Yorkers, and we'll keep asking if we can pet a red panda just for a second.

I almost cried watching John Kerry. To think he’s the caliber Iranians negotiated with during the Obama administration versus Kushner, Witkoff and Vance dealing with today must be head spinning.

Kerry: I was part of the any number of conversations with Netanyahu.

Psaki: Pitching the US strike Iran?

MS NOW: At least three people have lodged formal workplace discrimination complaints against Trump Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer, alleging she created a toxic workplace and sought to retaliate against women who reported her husband for sexual misconduct in her office.

After our “community standards violation” for asking people to message brands to speak out against the dismantling of the Forest Service, we had a team work all weekend knocking out a website for the same purpose. It’ll be live in a few hours.

“How lucky is the United States that everytime they look for democracy in other countries they find oil instead”- Spain Deputy Gabriel Rufián

He wishes he could be as “hot” (his favorite adjective 😖) as Bruce.

As an American, there are always disappointments to register and arguments to engage; amid the chaos of our battered, monied attempt at self-governance, dissent is constant.
But this feeling of being utterly ashamed of America and embarrassed to the core by its president is new, raw and unnerving.

how Trump uses verbs to obscure reality —and dodge responsibility President Donald Trump is known for his singular way of speaking.
