@chicagotribune.com Gotta tell you, it stinks that you won’t let customers cancel their subscriptions online or by email. It’s barbaric to make us call. Not kidding.

Cafe Luxembourg has lost its mind. They’ve stopped giving you a little chocolate square with your bill. A “cost thing,” someone who works there says they were told. Bull.

I am delighted to find out that the Danish word for timetable is “fartplan”

There’s the royal we, the editorial we, and the smug we: substack writers who constantly parade their coupledom before us.

Well, that was a steaming pile of bombast on a bed of bullshit.

Happy pub day to Susan Morrison, whose book about Lorne Michaels is already blowing up the bestseller lists.

The Episcopal bishop who spoke the beautiful words that made T so mad published a book in 2003: www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/705987...

His mother's letter to him—and I don't believe she truly "regrets" it—is eloquent and utterly believable and all I need to know.

Pete Hegseth, Clarence Thomas, and Ginni Thomas at the inaugural lunch. Three truly horrible people.

@morganstanley1.bsky.social This is embarrassing. Why not make her get a tattoo on her forehead?

If you're mouring #DavidLynch and want to hear some of his thoughts, here's a coversation I did with him.
