After nearly a decade at HuffPost, today is my last day. I’ve grown so much & I’m grateful for the journey. This has been a dream job and now I’m on to new dreams.

I’ll still be writing, hosting and moderating, just doing it as a freelancer for now. Pitch and commission me at taryn@tarynfinley.com.

After being laid off by HuffPost, I’m now looking for freelance and full time reporter positions!

I have expertise in breaking news, general assignment, disability, lifestyle, culture reporting and more.

Please reach out with any NY based opportunities!

Don't let Donald Trump extending the TikTok ban distract you from the fact that his Administration is about to conduct mass deportations across America in a matter of days.

Dave Chappelle addresses the incoming Trump presidency on SNL.

Two seagulls walking. One’s beak is stuck through a slice of bread.

"What happened?"
"I’m stuck. It's so embarrassing."
“I guess things went... a-rye?”
“Please do shut up.”
"You should get out of the sun."
"Why?"
"Otherwise, you'll be toast."
"You're an asshole, Charlie."
“You’re right, you deserve butter.”

Every now and then a cat photo can help. Here she is.

Oh, FFS! Mark Cuban is literally trying to solve the prescription drug problem! He's fighting to eliminate the middlemen, and is already providing RXs at a fraction of a CVS or Walgreens cost.

But it IS okay for conservatives to lie about a climate change catastrophe as it’s happening and blame it on ‘DEI.’

Hey, I don’t make up these rules. They do.

Republicans are already eating themselves alive on Capitol Hill.

Grab your popcorn, I don't think Johnson has the votes.

Yes! I’ve had to learn how to chill, especially knowing that these are the rare opportunities when things slow down. Read a book, watch something frivolous, bask in the sweetness of doing nothing.

Sooooo who's here?
