Soo I went into the bookstore to get a gift for someone & saw 2 📚 that caught my attention😊
They now are in my collection of “TBR”
Both look fascinating & I can’t wait to read them.
Two different experiences but so much the American experience.

If Republicans don't like people excitedly speculating regarding Trump's death, they can just ignore it, the way they do gun violence.

Thank you! 🎉 🥂

It really does all come down to "men are afraid women will laugh at them. Women are afraid men will kill them."

This app needs a Mamie Fish. We need someone who throws absolutely unhinged parties, cooks people on the time line, gives poor people money and also can't read and doesn't think women should vote (I'll ignore the last two things based on the strength of the first thee)

Screen shot of stephen colbert tweet reading Stephen Colbert @StephenAtHome #WeCameFirst by @JenAshleyWright drops today! A Good Book full of Bad Advice from Great Women, written by a Delightful Person

I'm married to a former Colbert writer, which means I got to meet him occasionally at holiday parties. This also meant I was the *most unimportant* person at those parties. He remembered my name, joked with me and asked how my writing was going every single time. He's just a really, really nice man.

Meme of a group of twenty-something women partying next to an image of a forty something woman drinking wine sadly in front of her laptop. Text reads DREAMS AT 25 No kids, no man, no problem. Just vibes and vacations! REALITY AT 45 Why are all the good men taken? I guess men Just can't handle strong women...

Whenever I see men post this I think about how when women are lonely, it's not pitied. It's used to chastise them for not being nicer to men. Meanwhile, when men are experiencing a "loneliness epidemic" they decide the answer is *also* that women should be nicer to men.

Review of Glitz, Glam, and a Damn Good Time by Jennifer Wright Glitz, Glam, and a Damn Good Time celebrates Gilded Age society maven Mamie Fish, whose parties influenced as much as they entertained.

That's the way it's been for most of history. And, as someone who still thinks that democracy is, at least, a nice idea, it's fairly horrifying to me.

I have a few (very wealthy) friends who have argued that if you have a new generation of people who can't think critically, read deeply and are cheerfully distracted by slop, well, that's their choice. They can just do servile work for their betters.

He can't argue for the choices he's making, because he does not have those skills BECAUSE of the choice he's made.

What Happens After A.I. Destroys College Writing? The demise of the English paper will end a long intellectual tradition, but it’s also an opportunity to reëxamine the purpose of higher education.

Today, commoners are embracing a tool that makes them less likely to be able to make a convincing argument about anything without assistance. One of the most striking parts of this article to me was how dumb and dull the man who uses ChatGPT is in conversation. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

One of the reasons monarchs were so horrified by the invention of the printing press was that it might enable charismatic commoners who knew how to write to share their ideas widely. A lot of those ideas had to do with overthrowing the monarchy.

It really comes back to Atwood's claim that "a word after a word after a word is power." If you cede that power willingly, you will have one less essential weapon against demagoguery.

I suppose my greatest objection to using Chat GPT instead of writing yourself is that you cannot convince anyone to do anything unless you know how to use words well. 🧵

Why did you hide the milk?

Has anyone else spent the entire year wanting a cigarette?

Have the guys downing protein powder and getting thigh implants ever considered "being a man in a bookstore wearing a sweater that looks soft."

The new pope seems very nice, so it's up to all of us to keep J.D. Vance away from him.

Perfect end to @jenashleywright.bsky.social’s birthday dinner, waiting at the valet, a guy stepped out of his cybertruck wearing a pick-up-artist hat and *black and white striped pajama pants* and we started laughing uncontrollably as he walked by us and blurted out “oh my god it’s the hamburglar.”

For everyone saying they voted for Trump but didn't vote for this: all he promised was tariffs and to persecute minorities.

You still don’t have 15 friends if 12 of them are imaginary.

OK I just found out about this book last night and I AM IT, I AM THE AUDIENCE, THIS IS MY HOUSE FULL OF WHEELS AND THIS BOOK IS IN IT. Insta pre-order!

The venn diagram of men calling feminists stupid and men commenting "have a nice day sexy" on pictures of A.I. women is a circle.
