I still did it though! That’s what it is to live in a society.

I have fond memories of summer 2020 despite the horrors because we could go outside and see people, but by that winter I was living alone and saw people in person maybe three times total. It was awful.

I got into an argument with someone on Twitter in 2021 when I posted something about being devastated that Omicron could lock me up alone in my apartment all winter again. She said “it’s not that hard to isolate.” She lived with her husband. I didn’t even have a pet.

Not Tim Apple!

They eat mosquitoes though

Delightful to have so much free time this spring/summer now that I don’t have to think about the Mets at all.

The rest of the Dublin Murders series is hit or miss but these first two books are astounding. (Broken Harbor also very very good imo)

In the Woods and then The Likeness

The only time “Time to Pretend” has been correctly used in nostalgic CB culture? Quite possibly

I didn’t see it but I remember everyone looooved it

If anyone’s curious I am “weeping at the trailer for Mile End Kicks” years old.

"They’re not interested in press freedom." Margaret Sullivan on journalism's billionaire barons and the Substack upstarts out-hustling them. Someone once called her New York Times position "the worst job in journalism." Now she's watching the watchdogs from the outside.

I recently interviewed the great @sulliview.bsky.social for @longlead.com's Depth Perception newsletter. We talked about the NYT public editor role (which she held for 3.5 years), among other things. Check it out!

Well I’m calling it “The Curse of the Polar Bear.”

Mets, who are 5th in the National League, losing 3-8 to the Cubs

They’re calling it “The Curse of the Polar Bear”

If his wife is a freelancer, I’d wager some of that refund is returned estimated quarterly payments

My cat’s dinner time is 6 p.m., which means that starting at 4 p.m. he turns into the Babadook.

The universe striking me down with illness during the first 80-degree week of the year in NYC…what wrongs have I wrought to deserve this

Do we think he thinks the Pope is running for office

Watching the first season of The Comeback for the first time and as a woman entering her late 30s…anxiety city

Oh ugh I’m so sorry you had to do this, glue traps are so inhumane

True! Like New York on a holiday weekend

We also got a million of them for my post-wedding bagel brunch and they were a huge hit 🤷‍♀️

Unfortunately my Native New Yorker ass loves Popup Bagels

No offense but the Coachella pics make me so happy I don’t live in LA.

The Swalwell story not only rings true but is backed by so much sourcing that anybody refusing to accept it has no objective truth nor rational belief system

there are so many consequences of everyday people not really understanding how journalism works and people on here thinking there was some sort of massive media coverup of Eric Swalwell being a monster fundamentally is rooted in total misunderstanding of what real reporting requires.

Hell yeah.

Also 4 am

I sincerely believe i would have a shot at winning all 50 states in a presidential election running on the single issue of making it illegal for businesses not to have conspicuously displayed customer service numbers that lead to call centers that must be staffed by humans

A country whose population growth was dependent on rampant teen pregnancy is maybe not the healthiest country
