As always, your work is amazing. Thank you for being one of the great ones. New York magazine should be mortified to have never published your work - it’s a sign of how bad at finding and publishing good writing and journalism. ❤️

I cannot comprehend how she ever got a job writing anything, let alone how others saw this shit and thought, “yeah, I’ll pay her to write stuff for me.” Example of so much that is so wrong in this country.

Yes!!! That person is an absolute shitbag. And he’s a Super Bowl champion so I think it’s worked out well for him.

Eagles get biggest steal of 2022 NFL Draft in Georgia’s Nakobe Dean Nakobe Dean's immense fall in the 2022 NFL Draft finally came to an end in the third round as the Eagles

His draft slide remains one of the wilder draft stories. And that tweet about him either having horrible medicals or a serial k*+#%! lives rent free in my head. So happy for him.

It’s called Merlin Bird ID and it’ll help you ID birds from photos or based on your answers to a few questions. I freaking love it. 😊

Yes! I wish more people and media outlets would take a minute to reflect on this insane series of choices on the complete betrayal of the main mission of the institution.

This is such an insane thought because, like most women, I have worried about how I will be perceived in every email. I’ve had multiple performance reviews where I’ve been told to worry about this more (& confident no man was ever told to be less emotional when getting emailed feedback). 🤬🤯

The “here’s a look at your health benefits for 2026” emails. Maybe they can save time and just send the picture next time…

His “look at me” energy screams in comments like this. And I don’t think he realizes he’s shitting on the people who would have (& often did in the past) accept him and not just for what he could do for them.

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

Can’t wait to do this again, while poorer, in January! Thanks, Senator! 🤬

Obviously she read someone else’s cue card here. Hope everyone remembers how to use their first amendment rights to remind her of the hell she’s inflicting.

Never forget who sold us out:

It is a betrayal of every federal worker too. Hard to name a non-evil group not getting betrayed by this.

Every single Democratic senator that votes to cave on this should be immediately ejected from the party, and the national party should immediately start running primary candidates in their districts.

There is no bipartisanship possible with traitors and fascists. You either fight, or die.

Maybe it’s time for the Democratic fighters to secede. This isn’t fucking working. A two-party system where fascist enablers are part of the antifascist party is a problem for anyone with eyes and a heart.

Anyone know if he’d be willing to lead the Senate? Seems to involve almost no work, but some “bite kneecaps off” energy is what we all need…

While I hope that rumors of the Democrats caving and agreeing to a worthless deal are ONLY rumors, please call your Rep and Senators. Especially if your Senator may be folding. Looking at you Ossoff and Warnock. Don’t do this to us.

This is UNREAL. Excited to see how Saquon and Skattebo (next year) turn this into personal workouts.
