Just turned this on and was pleased to hear you two minutes in!

Yea I was like...nooooo this is about to be a different level of bullshit. Cop logic is 9 times out 10 (being generous) complete nonsense without autism even in the picture.

I started watching it and like...5? 10? Minutes in was like NOPE

That begs the question: why has everyone lost their damn minds?

And the answer I think is Phone x COVID x Neoliberalism = everyone is insane.

I feel like one of the most underrated explanations for what's happening right now in global politics is that almost everyone has lost their minds.

I mean.

Mulligan, a gray cat, showing no remorse over the human water pitcher.

Mulligan has been drinking out of the people water all afternoon and we just found out

We looked away for 5 seconds and my 16-pound cat made off with a chunk of turkey the size of his enormous head.

It turns out crime does pay, because that’s absolutely his turkey now.

Lord I see what you've done for others...

Why, uh, why are there two ID checks at Logan security?

Shin Min Ah and Kim Woo Bin AT LAST 🥹 I'm so pleased for them

Colored in the headlines 🥴 yea real reporting is... not easy to find these days

Also struck by the fact that a student paper is the first (only?) outlet I've seen make it clear that Summers was shooting the breeze with Epstein literally until the day before his arrest www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

Meanwhile Larry Summers'...let's just say other half and also Harvard professor Elisa New. NB: "WA" below is said to be Woody Allen, who Epstein helped secure for New's PBS show on poetry, and episode that for obvious reasons was apparently kept off air.

Truly a cursed union.

thanks!

Larry Summers to retire to spend more time with the family that he was doggedly trying to be unfaithful to

IIRC it was all over the coverage of the financial crisis, reports about subprime mortgage being bundled into tranches and whatnot

keep forgetting to ask—year/ep?

literally never heard it until the last month wrt to that man's emails

Can someone tell me when publications started using the word "tranche"

WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN

I have been thinking about this line today, on the value of editors, from the late great John Bennet, for no reason in particular.

!!! Truly.

This is nauseating: “As the emails stretch through the years, they show how that protected realm vanished into the mists of time, pulled under by the rising forces of the internet and the #MeToo movement.” A “Gone With the Wind” framing for sexual abuse and harassment.

I'm telling you... the leadership class are not well.

Epstein Emails Reveal a Lost New York The disgraced financier’s recently released documents are steeped in a clubby world that is all but gone.

Seriously, what is wrong with these people?

‘Death remains my intimate shadow partner. It has been with me since birth, always hovering close by. I understand one day we will finally waltz together into the ether. I hope when that time comes, I die with the satisfaction of a life well-lived, unapologetic, joyful, & full of love.’
—Alice Wong

A quick sketch of Alice Wong, an extraordinary writer, editor, organizer and disability revolutionary. She's beautiful, middle aged, leaning against a power chair headrest, with a ventilator tube attached to a tracheotomy at her throat. wearing vivid purple and a bright red lip. I tried to capture the expression she often wore of joy mixed with an inner amusement and determination.

She was extraordinary, and extraordinarily generous. Alice Wong: I am so grateful to have been alive in her lifetime. She was one of our species' best. She deserved better. My her legacy be for a blessing.

Links to Alice Wong's work in the thread below.

There are people you never have the honor of knowing but you feel the ripple effects of their person and their work from the folks who have met them.

Alice Wong made waves that went far. A tremendous loss. Memory eternal.
