I think we have to accept that "gaslight" is one of those words that was used incorrectly so much it now just means a different thing. Joins an esteemed club headlined by literally, begs the question, could care less and aggravate

For NYT Vows: When the Eagles won their first Super Bowl in 2018, he tweeted the famous WW2 kissing photo as a joke. She didn’t follow or know him, but suggested they should recreate it at the parade. They kissed within a minute of meeting, and got married just after Philly's second Super Bowl win

Philadelphia Eagles Fans Kissed, Got to Know Each Other, Married
Shamus Clancy and Ashley Suder were strangers when they met at a Super Bowl championship parade to recreate a famous photo. They were brought together by a viral tweet and a bold suggestion.

Note to every hotel in the world: Please have a full-length mirror. Everyone wants a full-length mirror and they're not that expensive or anything

One of my bigger pet peeves is when people say "Fall down seven times, stand up eight." You can't!! Look: Fall 1, Stand 1 Fall 2, Stand 2 Fall 3, Stand 3 ... Fall 7, Stand 7 Now what? You're already standing, you can't stand again. It's nonsense.

Speaking only for myself, my disappearance from Twitter — a place I once loved and owe most of my career to — came because both posting and consuming started to feel deeply poisonous, with little of the upside that used to exist. It's gotten so much worse, but I still don't miss 2022 Twitter

If you ask New York Times reporters to spend less time on Twitter, will they? (Spoiler: yes)
An analysis of more than 185,000 tweets by New York Times staffers showed they got less opinionated — and less frequent overall — when a management memo asked the newsroom to scale back the takes.

There is a generation of children growing up to believe the Eagles just go to the Super Bowl all the time

The second season of Squid Game is like if you took everything that worked about the first season and made it 40% worse

I think we should normalize nagging. If I owe you a response, it’s probably because I forgot about it and it’s not gonna happen. I always appreciate reminders! It’s nothing personal. I don't want to fail you, and your nudge makes it more likely you get what you need. Everyone wins.

Also, hello to everyone who found me on a list of NYT journalists. I'll mostly be using this account for throwaway nonsense. Sorry!

I think future #Survivor players may almost entirely ditch vote-splits. In most situations I'd probably prefer a guess at who an idol *might* be played for, with some psychological engineering to tip the odds a bit, over the very high likelihood that a single person in my alliance could flip.

Annual reminder: Despite everything you've ever heard, the tryptophan in turkey does not make you sleepy. There's more of it in other foods - you're just sleepy after Thanksgiving because you ate and drank a lot

No, the Tryptophan in Turkey Won’t Make You Sleepy (Published 2015)
A common myth suggests that the tryptophan in turkey will make you drowsy, but that’s not why you might be ready for bed after Thanksgiving dinner.

Stuffing is an S-tier side and should be eaten throughout the year, not just at Thanksgiving. There's no reason it should be limited to a seasonal thing. Free the stuffing!!

Feels like you can weed out the monsters who would do this by not going to a first-week showing of Wicked www.nytimes.com/2024/11/20/m...

‘Wicked’ Fans Singing in Movie Theaters Are Anything but Popular
Some fans who have attended early screenings of the film adaptation of the hit Broadway musical have treated it as a singalong. Not everyone is thrilled.

I just created a Gmail filter to delete all emails from *@linkedin.com — thereby catching all future emails that I also did not sign up for — and I have no idea why I never thought of this before

If anyone has 'em already I would eternally appreciate lists on Fulham/Survivor/Philly sports (the only things X is still kinda good for)

A thing I like here is that I'm not being force-fed viral slop from accounts I don't follow anymore, like X and Threads insist on doing in the main feeds. Turns out I really missed throwaway thoughts that aren't specifically engineered for 10k RTs

For my return to social media, I would like to say that I really really dislike that AT&T commercial with the parents talking in bed. It just doesn't make any sense on any level, and its existence makes my life dramatically worse. Thank you.
