Pay walling your revenge porn is certainly a choice!

It’s a mystery!

Hey why did he leave the New Yorker again

You don’t have to like Nuzzi or approve of her conduct to understand that Lizza’s choice to publish the material that he is publishing is meant to sexually humiliate her in public in retaliation for disappointing him romantically. The term for that is revenge porn.

Among other things, I’m kind of amazed at how many people are willing to uncritically accept as credible the word of a jilted sex pest.

😂

No no no, you don’t get it; not wanting to be lied to is actually a demand for “emotional safety” that if you were cool enough you would have transcended by now.

As a man hating lesbian feminist I can assure him that many therapists in fact go quite far out of their way to excuse bad male behavior. 🙃

The real question buried in this is why audiences were so hostile, in her report, to her original memoir piece. Which is a decent question, but not one that I think can be answered with this kind of sneering contempt for women’s gendered grievance as weak and insufficiently enlightened.

Anyway a reminder, as always, to my straight women friends that the competitive masochism schtick is optional and you can stop doing it at any time. 💘🙏🏻

Ladies, if you resent your man for cheating on or disrespecting you, have you considered that the real problem is that you’re just not liberated enough?

Postscript to an Open Marriage: On Lily Allen’s West End Girl by Jean Garnett November 20, 2025 – “Whatever else it is (frequently delightful, well crafted, et cetera), West End Girl strikes me as a rather neat, crowd-pleasing, bias-confirming presentation of nonmonogamy that c...

The idea here is that a woman’s resentment of male mistreatment amounts to a childish demand for “emotional safety” (I’d call it respect) & that a more mature, enlightened approach defers to male sexual entitlement. I thought we were past this kind of thing. www.theparisreview.org/blog/2025/11...

Fellas are you aware that other people can see you

Men’s commentary in the Nuzzi/Lizza/RFK thing is revealing a whole lot about those men.

Well I will not be returning to this meeting.

I don’t know about that; I think it’s a romantic vision of addiction from someone who doesn’t know what it really looks like.

I would like to read something by someone who has never heard the worlds “Dalton” or “St Anne’s.”

The critically acclaimed album is from the son of a controversial memoirist who herself is heir to a fortune founded in 20th cent—enough.

Starting to really resent the commercial inability to access writing, music, and movies from people not from the same small number of elite families.

Oh my god it was so nice to meet you! I can’t believe you came all the way from San Diego!!! I hope you got home safe. Thank you for listening!!

It means he likes Trump lol

I’m am not, in critiquing Ryan Grim, “punching left.”

It’s because he lacks intellect and character.

Such an outsider. A man of the people really

Also: when are we going to stop crediting Trump as a political outsider challenging a decadent party establishment? He has completely remade the Republican Party in his own image and dominated national politics for over a decade. He *is* the establishment.

If your primary political commitment is hating liberals, eventually you will just be a conservative.

For GOD’s sake, do not write a personal essay.

you do not!!!!

Twice a day LinkedIn sends me emails encouraging me to connect with either a.) former United States presidents or b.) people from my past who would cheerfully kick me to death.

By the way if you are Erica the ICU nurse I met last night: hi! It was really good to meet you and I meant it when I said to please keep in touch!
