Name changer who tells everyone now to keep it legally and just go by your married name socially if you want to it’s been five years and I still haven’t managed to get it corrected everywhere (it’s SUCH a pain)

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

It’s so cool to have hitched your wagon 20 years ago to an industry that was booming beyond anyone’s expectations and have it turn out to be stripmined and utterly hollowed out by Shareholder Value, and every other industry you could slot into has been, surprise, hollowed out by Shareholder Value

Yesterday, a chance for me to take an image I've had in mind for months- Matthew and Michael in homage to Richard and Dic Bach

An incredible end to an incredible tour. Back to where it all started in Pontrhydyfen, Burton's birthplace- incredible stuff from Matthew Rhys as Burton

Two screenshots on top of one another that feature Jake Perralta and Captain Holt, which read “As you know, I hate Thanksgiving. The pilgrims were murderers and turkey tastes like napkins.”

Thanksgiving vibe.

Can't believe it's over. (For now.) Oasis forever. 🤍

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

Talamasca Showrunners Provide Answers to That Complicated Season 1 Ending We break down the Talamasca: The Secret Order finale with the showrunners John Lee Hancock and Matt Lafferty and star William Fichtner.

I chatted with the #Talamasca showrunners (and the incomparable William Fichtner!) to get the scoop on the Season 1 finale and where the show -- and particularly Guy and Jasper -- might go from here.

In the midst of one of the shittiest years of my life, thank you to the forever band of my heart for holding me together. Can’t believe the Oasis tour is ending, but getting to experience this reunion has been such a gift. Let’s do it all again as soon as possible. 🎸

Investigating a Possible Scammer in Journalism’s AI Era | The Local A suspicious pitch from a freelancer led editor Nicholas Hune-Brown to dig into their past work. By the end, four publications, including The Guardian and Dwell, had removed articles from their sites.

Fascinating read on how a suspicious pitch highlighted a growing problem in freelance journalism: A flood of generative AI that even prestige publications don't catch, complete with fabricated quotes, from scammers who see opportunity in a field so many real humans are struggling to survive in.

Think about these boring lives of the people who don’t immediately start reading fanfic of something the minute they see it.

I'm going through SO much of this right now with my own mother -- who stubbornly refuses to acknowledge her changing situation -- and I'm absolutely here and happy to listen if you need to vent/talk. It's a wretched, awful thing to have to try to figure out how to parent your parents in this way. ❤️

‘Crime and Corsets’: The Great British Streaming Strategy Here’s how BritBox forged a “profitable, enduring” bond with its audience — without leaning on hits.

With #BlueLights back for season three, I went behind the scenes at BritBox, talking to its president about how the BBC Studios-owned streamer has carved out a niche of loyal viewers --and how they're trying to expand that base. In #Buffering and on @vulture.com now: www.vulture.com/article/brit...

So relatable ❤️

This made me cry --- it encapsulates everything I (too!) always wanted to do as an editor and a writer at this site, and what made being part of it so unconditionally great. Love you, @leilajordan.bsky.social.

"I love this idea, go for it:" an ode to the Paste Magazine I knew With the announcement that Paste Media is pivoting away from most its verticals except Music for its flagship magazine, I'm paying tribute to the website that gave me a career

I've been having a lot of feelings about the changes at Paste Magazine the past few days. So, in true Leila fashion, I wrote 2.5k words about it. You can read it here:

It's that time of year! We're talking about the Best Romance Novels of 2025. We've chosen ten books that we love and that cover a range of historical, contemporary and paranormal, featuring romance with werewolves and cowboys, vaudeville actresses and vikings, Dukes and the actual Devil.

Thank you 🩷 And something that’s worker owned like @defector.com would be the dream — I just have to figure out how to be part of one! (I think it’s probably where this industry is going the big old school sites are all being killed by Google.)

In addition to the joy of writing for Paste Books, getting to write for Lacy was a professional highlight. The fact that one more place for books/TV/film coverage is shuttering is both maddening and disheartening.

Oh, gosh, this is such sad news. Any time a books vertical shutters, it sucks for all of us. I'm so sorry.

❤️ (I guess I actually have to pitch you now?)
