My advice as a fellow intern in the mental HR asylum: put the soundtrack on loop, reading the Game Changer books, try your hand at your own version of Tuna Melt and just accept that you won't leave the Cottage any time soon 😎

The subheadline on this NYT piece is going to turn me into the Joker.

Like... this... is exactly what trans people have been saying was going to happen for years.

I wonder if the New York Times will go after any of the prominent academics in the Epstein files for being rapists as hard as they went after Claudine Gay for being kind of sloppy with citations in her graduate thesis.

If not, why not?

the thing is, β€œdiffering political views” used to be about what percentage to tax high earners and not whether brown people are humans

We staffed the entire FBI with guys who only make memes and podcasts, hope that doesn't affect our ability to respond to major crimes

Joyce Carol Oates quoting a tweet that says β€œwherever he [Elon Musk] goes, he wants to leave”:

"wherever he goes, he wants to leave"-- that's because when he gets there, he has brought his own self along; & whatever club he's invited to join has been devalued by the invitation.
