The curious thing about boarding school kids who are “from New York” is that they always know about the latest show at the Moma but have no idea where you can get a vape. It’s like asking bill gates how much a postage stamp costs.

Harvard kids are culturally/aesthetically millennial but not politically millennial

Are major snowstorms and natural disasters the only way we remember that human activity can, should, and has always been contingent on natural weather patterns?...

Ok so it was just an accident and if I had legs I’d kick you didn’t get best pic noms but f1 did. Ok cool. Cool.

Mom’s concluding review of heated rivalry: “it is just a gay propaganda. Make everyone gay. So what?”

Mom’s review of heated rivalry halfway through episode one: “that white guy try to pick him up. He is gay expert. Asian guy never done it. It is gay show. Normal love story but gay. So what?”

Just overheard my dad tell my mom that if she leaves him for Elon musk it’s a “one-way ticket”

Update: she’s not kidding

Can you imagine if anyone wrote like how Robert Caro wrote The Power Broker? Like if in Animal Farm, Orwell was like "Napoleon wanted power. He loved power, just like his mother. When he was just a piglet, she made him wear a green cap even though he wanted the red one."

What does it say about the culture that my middle aged Asian immigrant mother wants to watch Heated Rivalry with me because Hudson Williams is wasian?

The X discourse about my last article for the beast became a MAGA meltdown in and of itself…

If the troll under the bridge was a pick me: riddle me this…does everyone hate me

Yet another performative man reading sheet music on the treadmill 🙄🙄🙄

He Made a TV Show That Ended His Marriage We interviewed the director who gained a cult following for televising the darkest moments of his life.

I interviewed director Caveh Zahedi and we talked about his insane TV show. Having spent a summer writing over 200 articles for @thedailybeast.bsky.social, this is the piece I'm most proud of. Thank you @kpfallon.bsky.social for your thoughtful edits. www.thedailybeast.com/obsessed/cav...

I just saw an ad for a “neurohacking” quack supplement and four of the ingredients are fully just caffeine

Gonna start referring to my daily caffeine intake as “neurohacking”

Thinking about the time I was taking a Wizz Air flight from Norway to Poland and the guy to my right was looking at Ikea chairs the whole time and the guy to my left had a boiled potato on his lockscreen

I’m always confused by how many people are in the priority boarding groups for spirit…I can’t decide if they’re genius or chumps

I never thought I'd see the day when the White House would send me a meme to call me a clown! But alas that day has arrived.

I’ve unlocked a new level of empathy for the astronomer CEO and HR woman because I had a nightmare I was caught on the Coldplay kiss cam…let me just tell you that was the worst nightmare I’ve had in years probably

being 23 sucks because I'm old enough to be stressed about work and young enough to complain at work that my dad ate my lunch

(It's me I'm girls)

How I Fixed My Hair Color After a ‘Ronald McDonald’ Dye Job Left Me in Tears To save money, I started dyeing my hair at home. The transition was bumpy.

Why is it such a trope for all asian girls to dye their hair red? Like it's possibly the most annoying color to try if your natural color is black www.thedailybeast.com/a-ronald-mcd...

Wrote about the latest bizarre (and queer-coded) social media post made by the Trump administration, and the sinister message behind it.

I accidentally turned my mom gay

just asked my advisor for some career advice and he said if i get a phd i can become a line editor

masculine way to say ur getting a phd=education maxxing

just realized that bob dylan’s given name is probably robert. and that maybe at some point in his life he tried out rob, or even robbie. feeling shaken.

my theory is that dark academia was invented to distract us from the fact that people in their 20s are still doing homework
