10 years ago today, Jesse Farrar posted what became a defining tweet of the decade, cited endlessly online & in news stories: “I’d like to see ol Donny Trump wriggle his way out of THIS jam!” My look at what it’s been like as the Nostradamus of a very dumb political era:

It’s been 10 years since Jesse Farrar accidentally defined a political era with one pithy, prescient tweet. He wishes it never happened.

this worked for other people so lemme try: @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social @mayor.nyc.gov this tree fell in a storm six months ago on the corner of Bedford and Park in crown heights and the sidewalk had been disrupted ever since for anyone in a wheelchair. A new tree even appears to be growing!

a lot of past ink about whether nolan is conservative or not. i think this movie makes a pretty strong case for it, but he is sorta saying “not that kind. let’s go back to values and decency.” a whole movie about consequences in a consequence-free political era felt potent!

David Mack @davidmackau.bsky.social · 19/07/2026

anyway else see the odyssey as nolan’s response to trumpism & our crumbling body politic/social contract??

The actor who played the dying mom on The Pitt thought she deserved an Emmy nom so she went out on her own and got one. “Nobody’s got your back but yourself,” she told @davidmackau.bsky.social www.cnn.com/2026/07/09/e...

She submitted herself for an Emmy. Now she’s a nominee | CNN

Brittany Allen, who portrayed a mom with terminal cancer on “The Pitt,” ran her own awards campaign after HBO declined to submit her. On Wednesday, it paid off.

thanks entirely to my old colleague/new boss miriam. can’t wait to help build out the kind of content that i’m best known for/will make readers comment angrily, “why is this news?!?”

there’s been a lot i’ve enjoyed about freelancing the last few years (and lots of which i’m very proud! it isn’t easy!) but i won’t lie and say it’s not nice to have a regular paycheck and an institution behind me once more.

my extremely cool official title is “senior reporter/writer for pop culture and power,” so basically covering society’s movers and shakers, from old stalwarts to the viral flashes in the pan, big new trends to niche subcultures.

i was satisfied-ish with disclosure day. emily blunt was having a ball and was great, but honestly the performance by this actress is what i’m still thinking about!

not joking when i say rupaul should be in the oscars conversation for stop that train. for what she does with her face alone! comedy is so hard and she’s a pro. you watch her in a movie full of drag queens and realize why she’s the queen of drag
