Dig your work on the press box & when you cut up with Bomani. I know you and yours moved to MD in the last year or so and I’m a historian at the Library of Congress, if you have a slow Friday one week hit me up for a tour of the Manuscript Division/LC have that papers of lots of folks you would like

If the DEA had killed 80 innocent Americans in the course of apprehending one drug dealer, there would be riots. But we are so ghoulishly indifferent to the lives and humanity of people abroad that it's barely even part of the conversation.

Pretty sure Will Chamberlain is just some lady who lives on the upper east side and struggles to find cat sitters.

Metropole senior editor, @ryanreft.bsky.social looks back on 9 years at the helm as he departs:
"[T]hat’s how I feel about The Metropole. It’s a ship at sea for all those who want to come aboard–climb the ladder. “We’ve got ourselves/Gonna sing it, gonna love it, gonna work it out at any length.”

Joan Didion’s Thanksgiving: Dinner for 75, Reams of Notes

As a Didion devotee (fanatic?) this was like a junkie getting their fix: Joan Didion’s Thanksgiving: Dinner for 75, Reams of Notes www.nytimes.com/2025/11/18/d...

While I enjoyed Being Eddie (the new Netflix doc) it’s like a lot of docs today in which the subject has too much influence … we never really delve into his relationship with Cosby (I mean it’s def referenced but I wanted more) or tougher q’s in general on other topics.

I was super happy to read and edit this entry in @urbanhistorya.bsky.social’s #MetropolitanConsumption theme for November. One of my favorite pieces we’ve published.

The Onion: DHS: ‘Daycare Workers Have Walked Freely in This Country For Far Too Long’

Shout out to The Clipse for their Grammy noms, that said the Grammys mean almost nothing to me. Most of the bands/artists I listened to never sniffed those awards. You either like the music you like or you don’t, no award makes it better. Still big ups to the Clipse Let God Sort Them Out is great!

lol. Anyone who follows soccer knows FIFA is a corrupt **** organization but this is so impressively dumb

Holy **** the Chicago Bulls might actually be good and Josh Giddy might actually be an All-NBA candidate. I mean I’m probably going to regret actually saying this but my god …

I was punished for my Cowboys hate, I couldn't access this account since then, but for better or worse, I'm back. It's probably the latter.

Justice Miscarried: The Trial, Conviction, and Murder of Leo Frank | The Saturday Evening Post Leo Frank’s trial for the murder of a young girl, his death sentence, eventual commutation, and finally his lynching all serve as a window into the nation’s problematic history with anti-Semitism.

I am just hate watching this cowboys documentary

Good god the new Clipse album is good

Germany deserved this game and France didn’t.

Yes! So many passes that just haven’t been crisp enough or on target. Very disappointing

France is blowing this game. All credit to Germany for sticking it out despot being this down to 10.

And the Germany ties it up a player down, so however stupid they’ve been they’re mentally tough as hell

Gotta say the Germans have been playing some stupid soccer in this tourney … second red in two games both terrible decisions by the players. That said I don’t know if pulling someone’s hair should be a straight red that seems harsh. But still stupid

Congrats man! It’s a good book. I found it v helpful in working on our forthcoming 2026 Dec of independence exhibit

I mean as others have said I just don’t answer. I’m Gen x too but not saying hello is weird to me but again if I don’t recognize the number I just don’t answer. The voice mails get transcribed so easy to tell what’s bs (which is most voice mails)

Considering all the takes about this platform from folks on the other platform, oddly silent about the fact that uh, one of its primary programs has turned racist and misogynist. Go figure. And for the record I avoid commenting on either, it’s pointless, but hey hard not to notice right now

Jeebus, that is some racist ish

Wait, if he thinks he needs to deport Musk (for the record, I hate Musk but I despise this denaturalization bs more) why does the govt have hundreds of millions of dollars in contracts with his businesses?

ICE gets billions for overtime raids.
But your kid with a heart defect can’t get coverage without a full-time job at age five.

This one hit me in the feels today
