He is an affable, bright, well-read person who just wrote that the Democratic Party should welcome candidates who don’t believe in women’s basic bodily autonomy.

I’m not particularly interested in thoughts on leadership from someone who thinks the Democratic Party should be open to ceding the basic bodily autonomy of half the population.

In that case it’s probably even more important that they receive adequate nutrition, no?

I’d kill for more screwball comedy from Baumbach. Mistress America is probably the closest he’s gotten to it in the last decade or more.

Something I’ve always loved about this movie is that @chriseigeman.bsky.social 110% plays The Chris Eigeman Roleℒ️, and yet is somehow *also* the most evolved and self-aware male character? I mean…that’s not the normal order of things.

SO relieved this is getting theatrical play in my city (Minneapolis) so I don’t have to stage an elaborate and embarrassing public tantrum.

This is 100% a movie we would have skipped class to see together back in the day.

Well shit, I've got an outline done, a working title and direction thanks to a class I took with @kristicoulter.bsky.social years ago now.

So help me god, sometimes I think β€œLisa. Lisa Pappademetrio” is the funniest line in cinematic history.

Had the same reaction to the length. Ramshackle structures can work in Pavement songs because Pavement songs are SHORT. But over 120 minutes, the sense of no-plan wore on me. Still a ton of fun, though.

I love how the WH is blaming Harvard for not dialing 1-800-LTR-REAL? after receiving a letter on WH letterhead, signed by three federal officials, and sent from the email of a senior administration official on the very day he told them to expect it.

AND eight states just lost ALL Title X funding, which makes contraception and repro healthcare available to low-income women. So avoiding pregnancy just got much harder.

This Texas bill wouldn't just make it a felony to take a teen out-of-state for an abortionβ€”but to "fund" an out-of-state abortion for a teen.

In other words, giving your 17 year-old niece gas money could land you in prison. legiscan.com/TX/text/SB23...

The Sad Boys of Sadcore - The Paris Review Propping up collapsing men is one of my talents.

I've been listening to a semi-obscure Australian band called The Apartments lately. While looking for lyrics (not easy to find!), I came across this incredible piece by Kristi Coulter...

Peter just sent me a link to this post! I’m so glad you enjoyed my piece. I wish *hundreds* of people were writing about the Apartments.

How about you STOP THE FUCKING ADMINISTRATIVE COUP first and worry about the tariffs later.

β€œWomen are equal citizens but we’re not gonna force a big fight to make sure they’re treated that way” is the most on-brand parting gift imaginable from the Democratic Party, 10/10, no notes.
