Felching vs british royal family in the UK

In the UK -- briefly -- felching overtook the British Royal Family. We have corrupted the entire Anglosphere.

I just found out my husband secretly bought an e-copy of my book without telling me and was reading it on his Kindle and who says romance is dead

Titanic Passenger’s Pocket Watch Sells for $2.3 Million The watch belonged to Isidor Straus, a co-owner of Macy’s who was traveling first class on the Titanic with his wife when it sank in April 1912.

A Titanic passenger’s gold-trimmed pocket watch stopped ticking at 2:20 a.m. on April 15, 1912, as the ship sank. On Saturday, the watch sold at an auction in England for $2.3 million, a record for a piece of Titanic memorabilia, according to the auction house that organized the sale.

I am so traumatized by the image of RFKJr doing this I cannot unsee it

this is a metaphor for waking up and logging on

All of Bluesky this morning:

oh my god I am so so so jealous

I love you too much to send you the screenshots. You have been through a lot. You don't deserve this.

I have never been as envious of anyone as I am now of the normal people who don't know who Nuzzi/Lizza are and have not read RFK Jr's porn poetry and I want to be those people but I am not I have read the post and the poetry and I am now ruined for life and all I have is regret

I think we all have to ask ourselves what we would do if Zohran left his wife to be with Olivia Nuzzi. I would learn the clarinet - I feel like that instrument would be able to express what I felt

Yes this is a good point, going from Stephen Miller to Mamdani would be like emerging from the sewer in Shawshank

he hangs out in group chats with teenaged nazis, so there’s that

Thinking a lot lately about the simple fact that college allows people to spend about 15 weeks immersed in a disciplinary conversation with an expert in that field. And what a special thing that is.

Say Nothing, Patrick Radden Keefe

I hate this so much

Oh no

Same and same. Us haters should all come out together at the same time to show our strength in numbers. I live, breathe and practice my hatred of AI as a vocational calling. It gives me purpose.

Every word here is a policy failure

My son just told me I was "sundowning" which I guess means I am talking like an old person and this is just further evidence that Gen Z are monsters.

Yes everyone should check for their books I have mine in there and I am part of the lawsuit

Mahmood Mamdani on Zohran, Uganda and forced expulsion: ‘Who is part of the nation and who is not?’ After being expelled from his homeland in 1972, the academic has grappled with questions of political belonging – a major theme of his son’s mayoral campaign

I spoke to Mahmood Mamdani about his new book, his expulsion from Uganda, his son Zohran, and *that* NYT article.

I just wrote the editor of my first book an email with the idea and like 3 paragraphs and asked him if he'd like that book and he said yes and then I wrote it

I regret to inform you that Manuscript Central is also down because of Cloudflare blackout so please don't yell at me in my inbox it's not my fault. Your friendly neighborhood journal editor.

Look, I know this weaponization of male academic interest is the oldest story in the book, but it’s just so, so pernicious. It’s awful to the women directly involved, but it’s also awful to *all* women in the academy, who have to live in its shadow all the time.

Could argue the misogyny Summers expressed both publicly while president of Harvard and in emails to Epstein says more about the culture at our most elite institutions than any of the frontpage freakouts over academia in the past few years but hey

The Shocking Truth About Gen Z Voters Is That They’re Pretty Great Stop panicking: They are the most progressive generation ever, especially on race. If that surprises you, you’ve been listening to the wrong story.

Piece from me and @adambonica.bsky.social in @thenewrepublic.bsky.social today about Gen Z

They have bad taste in music but quite progressive political attitudes (even the men)
