Listening to a Jill LePore audiobook narrated by the author and the voice she does for Adlai Stevenson is strangely evocative of Peppermint Patty in the Peanuts animated specials. #HiyaChuck

I still haven’t heard the Taylor Swift song about Cleveland but what I have heard is every dumbass corporate and civic leader bring it up in their various public comments

Sep 29th 2008 - Following the Subprime mortgage crisis, Destiny found herself without a job and pregnant. 📽️📅 Hustlers (2019)
4 Screenshots from the movie "Hustlers" (2019): First, a vibrant nightclub scene with dancers and colorful lights, with the subtitle "And for one last moment... everything was so glamorous and cool." Second, a black screen with the date "September 29, 2008" in white text. Third, a news anchor in a newsroom setting, with the subtitle "We begin our coverage tonight of what's been called." Fourth, the same news anchor, continuing with the subtitle "the worst financial crisis in modern times."

My dad and uncle both have their phones out and their cheaters on checking to make sure their Dweezil Zappa tickets don’t conflict with their Cleveland Orchestra tickets.

Reporting on a vibe shift… my lifelong mainline dem mother who has, more than once, paid to attend ticketed fundraisers with special guest Martin Sheen called me yesterday gushing about Abdul El-Sayed and saying that “old guard democrats need to shut up and get out of the way.”

Just learned that Lou Barlow is throwing a 60th birthday concert bash for himself and am now being forced to wonder if I’m the only woman who fist pumps upon seeing the words, “A tribute to Eric Gaffney” (but also… why a “tribute”? Let Eric take the stage, cowards!!)

I am again traveling for work and this time my hotel room is decorated like Patricia Batemyn’s apartment in a gender swapped remake of American Psycho. I’m currently surrounded by multiple all-white minimalist floor lamps with completely incomprehensible switches.

I am not taking a picture of a stranger’s child from across the airport but there is a kid at my gate wearing a hat that is a complete plush reproduction of Snoopy’s whole head and I keep seeing them out of the corner of my eye and getting kind of scared?? It’s unsettling!!

Trump posting a picture of a random woman & saying she’s his beautiful daughter is just like when my grandpa says he already knows my boyfriend because they used to deliver Dad’s Root Beer together except instead of the nuclear football my grandpa has an ice bucket engraved with “Top Salesman 1962.”

A class at my kids’ school put up little statements about the good they want to do in the world and I was over the moon about this one - then I learned they meant to say “teach people in jail” which is also good!

Thinking about how the opening remarks at next week’s City Club event with RFK Jr will undoubtedly refer back to when his father spoke there in 1968 and it’s absolutely nauseating to me that they’re going to make that link when this was at the heart of RFK’s comments that day:
Screencap of a selection from RFK’s “On the Mindless Menace of Violence” speech delivered at the City Club of Cleveland following the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. The screencap reads, “For there is another kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions; indifference and inaction and slow decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. This is a slow destruction of a child by hunger, and schools without books and homes without heat in the winter.”
