1) fuuuuuck anyone messing with Sohla, and 2) as a chronic lifelong people-pleaser, I’m sorry to say there were parts of this I related to. Sending love to her & I know there will come a better place to land, whenever she’s ready. sohla.substack.com/p/sorry-abou...

Dijon’s on SNL in the same year he was in a major motion picture and the two things aren’t even related. That’s how much this dude’s working. Love to see it.

Nobody knows how to hate Diddy better than 50 Cent. The line-em-up-knock-em-down was *relentless* & you’re going to read about some of the splashiest. But tbh I learned whole new things… 9 ppl dead from a stampede at his event in ‘91, then sidestepping victim payouts? Damn. *Wild* way to start.

Jenny @jennymack.bsky.social · 03/12/2025

bc I’m sick and my sleep schedule is all off, I just finished watching the 4-pt Diddy docuseries. Ho. Ly. Shit. I said when the charges first came out they were going to have to bury him under the jail. Turns out, that’s an understatement. I truly don’t know who to feel the worst for in this.

One thing about knitting is you can spend multiple hours creating something, look at it and decide you likely hate it, work on it a couple more hours just to be sure, and then unravel it all. You might even do that two more times before you find the right project for the yarn in question.

Been thinking about @questlove.bsky.social ever since the day of D’s passing. Just finished watching him read this piece over on IG. Quest’s eulogy is as deeply touching, interesting & funny as I knew it would be. Love to him & everyone who loved Michael Archer. www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

I’ve spent almost 2hrs now thinking about going the couple of blocks to the convenience store to get bread for grilled cheese. Still can’t get out of bed. Maybe posting about it will get me up. 🥲

I was supposed to see him again at the Roots Picnic this summer but he cancelled due to his health. I was so disappointed but figured, “there’s always next time.” I’m sick about it now. *Always* buy the ticket. If it’s someone in your top three, don’t second-guess, just go.

Jenny @jennymack.bsky.social · 21/10/2025

Been thinking about the one time I got to see D’Angelo perform live, before Black Messiah came out, at the HOB here in Boston. It wasn’t sold out & I was aghast at that. He sounded incredible (as I knew he would) & I was too intimidated to push up to the front. Don’t think I got one photo. 🖤

Every story quoting Trump saying this is to "rescue our nation’s capital from crime" needs to note that violent crime in D.C. is down 26%, murders are down 12%, juvenile arrests are down 20%, and ask who will get hurt from a domestic military deployment and what this "crackdown" is really about

We have some news to share with you. 🥄 Today we took legal action to challenge our termination, filing an appeal with the U.S. Merit Systems Protection Board. We did this because we believe the elimination of 18F violated safeguards that exist to protect a nonpartisan civil service.

Kudos to the two authors of this piece, @damonberes.com & @cwarzel.bsky.social, for digging deeper here. I’m going to be thinking about this situation for a while, for better or for worse.

His story is going to serve both as a cautionary tale to young writers (some of whom may be his own students — he’s also a teacher, yikes), and a symbol of the current state of news media. We truly are in a race to the bottom.

Jenny @jennymack.bsky.social · 21/05/2025

His quotes in the article really paint a picture of someone who thought he was smarter than the system, given he’s survived in a dying business for so long. His annoyingly self-deprecating quote about maybe becoming a shoe salesman instead is probably something he’s privately wondered about before.

Jenny @jennymack.bsky.social · 21/05/2025

The journalists who dug deeper on this story rightfully judge the use of AI across industries as fueling a “human-free race to the bottom” which is where we’re headed, whether you describe its output or its environmental impacts (latter of which isn’t mentioned.) www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

He represents a certain demographic — people who see tools like ChatGPT as a direct path to “working smarter,” which can take the burden off of them having to be smart at all. Overly trusting, bypassing critical thinking.
