Jen Chaney

Write me a nice obit, Kristen!

I am now dead

Already in an ambulance

I get so nervous and I am literally just watching

Every time a figure skater falls, I react as if I have just been shot.

I was a mess. What a fucking show.

When they call the emergency contact 😭

Stuff White People Like This blog is devoted to stuff that white people like

I am old enough to remember the blog and book Stuff White People like and guess what? We can still like all of it if we want to.

Aw, love that.

Recently had dinner with someone I've known since kindergarten but hadn't really talked to one-on-one in a long time. We could not stop gabbing. I think it took us a half-hour to order.

No one is erasing white culture. We can still eat blandly seasoned foods and listen to the Dave Matthews Band as much as we want!

I feel like more people stay close with friends from college. I still have a couple but not as many as my friends from childhood. And I keep reconnecting with more!

I am still very close with 10 or so people from high school, and a couple with whom I only went to middle school. They are like family to me. I know that's weird/rare and I am incredibly grateful for it.

The Banner is, very smartly, moving in to pick up what the Post stupidly abandoned. I will be reading.

Love Story Review: Nothing Is Illuminated in FX's Saga of Carolyn Bessette and JFK Jr. Despite a strong performance from Sarah Pidgeon, the limited series doesn't tell us much we don't already know

I reviewed LOVE STORY, the new series about John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy. Sarah Pidgeon gives a nuanced, strong performance as Bessette but otherwise, I'm still not sure this needed to exist.

Never underestimate their incompetence.

James Van Der Beek, Dawson's Creek Star and Father of 6, Dies at 48 After Cancer Journey James Van Der Beek has died after he was diagnosed with stage 3 colorectal cancer in August 2024. The actor was best known for playing Dawson Leery on 'Dawson's Creek'.

Well, this is just terribly, terribly sad.

Joe, I will go but only if you come with me.

it takes a real management genius to cut both your sports and culture teams a few days before a sporting event hosting the biggest cultural moment in recent history

Opinion | Bad Bunny didn't have to name Trump at the Super Bowl to get the president's attention Jen Chaney: Welcome to Bad Bunny's America. Where all actually are welcome.

OPINION by @jenchaney.bsky.social:

“By singing in Spanish, Bad Bunny underlined the degree to which music transcends language. That was a political act, too.”

How am I supposed to work when Olympic pairs skaters are skating to music from the 90s?

Opinion | Bad Bunny didn't have to name Trump at the Super Bowl to get the president's attention Jen Chaney: Welcome to Bad Bunny's America. Where all actually are welcome.

Social-media-posted my way into an assignment to write about Bad Bunny's Super Bowl performance, which was profound, important, joyful and as American as it gets.

I mean, "Bawitdaba" is definitely not English. Also it's an absolutely terrible song.

It somehow always amazes me how absolutely stupid these people are. Just straight-up dummies.

OK, this People Breaking News alert has made me feel insane. The whole thing was political you damn idiots!

So many of the Super Bowl commercials have this weird, uncanny valley quality, like everything and everyone in them is AI. It's like the whole world got motion-smoothed.

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

I know Ricky Martin was there because he's a Puerto Rican icon, but I really appreciated that Bad Bunny made a pointed choice to give a gay man a moment in the spotlight in his vision of America

Tonight is the first and I assume last time I’ve cried for good reasons while watching football

Well that too
