Do Not Accept An Unscientific American | Defector Laura Helmuth was named editor-in-chief of Scientific American in March 2020, shortly before the magazine was set to celebrate its 175th year in print. Helmuth, who had previously directed health and ...

“Over Helmuth's tenure, she steered the magazine toward coverage that understands that science has never been ‘objective.’ Science is and has always been social and political.” @sabs.bsky.social defector.com/do-not-accep...

Currently I’m at the stage of writing where I spent like 20mn reading various Wikipedia pages of the Kennedy family

Man Sharon Horgan knows how to write the most evil characters.

Despite how this story calls out the grooming several times, having a male writer take on this subject just dilutes Britt down to a muse. He’s too enraptured by McCarthy to see the subject of the profile as an actual person.

Cormac McCarthy’s Secret Muse Breaks Her Silence After Half a Century: “I Loved Him. He Was My Safety.” When he was 42, Cormac McCarthy fell in love with a 16-year-old girl he met by a motel pool. Augusta Britt would go on to become one of the most significant—and secret—inspirations in literary history...

“‘I always looked to Cormac’s books to see how I was doing.” She takes a comedic beat. “Which was usually dead.’” This whole thing is so disturbing. www.vanityfair.com/style/story/...

And we are back to serial killer cat.

Why are you lying down like Burt Reynolds?

I haven’t processed that man’s cabinet picks because it’s so damn stupid that my brain makes the Windows 96 shutdown sound if I try to read an article about it.

The less I can make my feed read like Bad Art Friend, the better.

I started on Twitter interning for literary centers, websites, and journals, and let me tell you it was a relief to decide not to follow every lit journal on here.

There was a weird rustling breathing coming from the couch so I had my suspicions.

He was underneath a blanket hanging off the couch.

Oh cool one of my cats had decided to disappear into some completely unknown hiding space in 2 years of living here. Guess I’ll just assume he died. Chill Tuesday.

Always know it’s gonna be a banger when @jamellebouie.net Apple is back.

I’ve never heard a more accurate description of Scotland than “seasonal depression and year-round alcoholism” on The Diplomat.

Friends remember you’re always 5 min & a good food processor away from wonderful, cheap, genocide free humus.

It’s 4:1 chickpeas to tahini, lemon for acid, as much garlic as you like, cumin/paprika & salt. Add ice cubes instead of water to make it creamy. Drench olive oil on top.

That’s it!

Not well, Nicole

As cute as the parachute scene was on the latest Abbott, it really just reeked of improv class exercise.

Wow even Georgia O’Keeffe was involved in Wicked promotion…in 1926.

I was today years old when I learned you can adjust exposure on iPhone cameras.

Highly recommend the Georgia O’Keeffe New York exhibition at the High.

My dog-nephew dressed up as Lowly Worm for Halloween and won three costume contests, if that’s the sort of Busytown-related news you’d be interested in.

Had two instances tonight when the cashier basically refused to card me.

This is basically in a hotel conference room.

Watching one of those candlelit string quartets play Taylor Swift, and I bet everyone in this group feels like Lydia Tar after she got canceled.

Is it just me or does that Bonhoeffer movie look like fake AF? Like a 30 Rock level trailer?

Hobbies include taking photo of cat at golden hour:
