I’ve been off social media for the summer but I thought of a hilarious joke this past weekend that I keep telling people IRL. And today, someone accused me of stealing that joke from the internet so I logged on and I….

Despite flyover narratives from pundits and journalists the senate primary in Iowa was not about Schumer v progressives. Few Dems in the state buy Wahls as an outsider. He’s been an insider since he was a teen. What this race was about was winning. Iowans picked the person they thought could win.

Snipped of the linked article, "While they were chatting, Emily recalls that an older man walked up to them. 'I don't want to be derogatory,' he began. The Rebollozos are a two-mom family, and Iowa is a deep-red state, with anti-LGBTQ book bans in schools. Emily braced herself. Then the man looked at the baby in Crooks' arm and said, 'Your baby's ugly.'"

This story involves an Iowa tshirt company, a basketball star, a Boston Globe reporter, online trolls who piss on walls, a lot of toxic masculinity and a lot of insight into the state of men. www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

why write love letters to a murderer when you can just form a full relationship with his digital approximation? that's the kind of innovation in parasocial attachment only AI makes possible.

At a grad party today & a kid flagged me down to tell me some random college was trying to recruit her for music & she googled & saw I was like “their only notable alumni” on their Wikipedia and that made me sad because she’s clearly never heard of Peter Krause and the best TV show of all time

My 15yo recently had her first job interview and I was giving her sample interview questions like “why do you want this job?” And when I told her she couldn’t say “for money, obviously.” She was like, “So, I just have to lie about why I’m working for the rest of my life?” Yes, that’s right.

Lyz is such a fantastic writer, and this is a great Dingus of the Week entry. “There are only two bad things about divorce: One, someone’s mother was proven right. And two, all that time wrapping Jordan almonds was wasted.” Maybe we can go straight to the almonds and cut out the ceremonies.

During Trumps first admin I interviewed Carlson and talked to him about how his rhetoric specifically hurt my life and he treated it like a big joke. Remorse that only comes when it’s convenient isn’t remorse at all.
