I shared this sentiment on Instagram and a man—a former fraternity brother—obliquely threatened me and my family from what he thought was a private account. It wasn’t. I called him directly on his cell phone this morning. Panic, apologies, excuses, hung up. Don’t bring piss to a shit fight.

"I'm supposed to be a tough guy," Curtis confided. "I can hold your hand," the mayor offered "What happens if I faint?" Sliwa asked. "I've got you," Mamdani assured him, grabbing his hand as Sliwa received his flu shot. abc7ny.com/post/nyc-may...

I enraged thousands of frat guys on Instagram by saying frats are for losers and it's like shooting fish in a barrel. I responded to one by saying "your haircut makes sense, I bet most people won't suspect a thing" and he deleted his entire account

Thrilled to see my article on unison openings in (digital) print! mtosmt.org/issues/mto.2... I started keeping this list back in my composer days (circa 2018?), and once you know it's there, there's a lot of contemporary music to find these sorts of openings in.

One reason I’m optimistic on maintaining weight loss in my 30s is that I sincerely enjoy eating the same meals for multiple days in a row now. I’ve had the same 660 calorie breakfast for like 3 months straight and it slaps every time. I would not have done that in my 20s

For years, tech bros convinced themselves that consumers wanted to do everything in virtual reality. When that turned out to be incorrect, they pivoted to convincing themselves that what all of us crave is a personal assistant that can't do anything physical and mainly can just use the internet

When I was a grad student, a bunch of frat bros marched through campus shouting unambiguously pro-rape slogans. In a sane world the entire Greek system at Yale would have been permanently shut down the next day (not to mention all the marchers expelled). Needless to say absolutely nothing happened

Today, my 6 yo grandkids came to my studio and painted these frames I built & then used bones they collected over the summer at the lake to create creepy creatures which we glued to the paintings. That's how you instill creativity. You let them be creative. They've already asked to come back.

For each of my kids I wrote, illustrated and bound a story reflecting our shared interests and my notions of their character. I mean they love them and all but it was really, really fun doing it. Prompting isn't fun

It’s really not that deep. Radio isn’t as hegemonic anymore, so a #1 song doesn’t have to reach the same level of cultural ubiquity it used to. That’s all.

Also, it’s well-known in child development that children derive great benefit from repetition. When a child asks for the same story every night, it’s not that the child is dim, but some element of the story is resonating and helping the child navigate an emotion or a new stage in their world.

“Why shouldn’t I custom-generate all of my child’s media?” Because the point of children’s literature, music, art, and movies is not to optimize leisure time, it is to provide your children with cultural, emotional, societal, and epistemic touch points via which they can relate to the wider world.

In light of the N95 Lesbian Bar discourse, I'm curious if anybody is willing to share the most unjustified scolding they received during Woke 1. I was chided for referring to a fictional sex worker as a "prostitute"

I am very interested in the reaction to the Massachusetts N95 lesbian bar article specifically among those on the political left, who appear to be the overwhelming majority of the people reading and reacting to the story. Feels like it says something about the moment we’re in
