He hit on me in the baggage claim. And I think about it a lot because it clearly didn’t even occur to him how upsetting his behavior would’ve been to her and other passengers. The violence of disregard.

Once in college, I was in the window seat on a flight talking to a lovely older woman who had just come back from Greece. We talked the whole flight in large part because I didn’t want her to turn and see that the man across the aisle was jacking off the entire flight.

Right after the Cornell Jane Doe story broke, a site called JaneDoeMerch.com started selling I Am Jane Doe hats and T-shirts, claiming the proceeds would go to Jane Doe's legal fund. Her lawyer knows nothing about it. Read my story on Jane Doe merch at @wired.com: www.wired.com/story/meet-t...

Oh, wow. “The American Airlines passenger who allegedly took off her underwear and jeans to masturbate on a flight pressed her legs against the window and moaned as she pleasured herself.”

On today’s episode of #VibeCheckPod, we dissect Vanity Fair’s New Establishment List and talk movies and shows we turn to for comfort amidst all the chaos. AND! I break my silence and tell the full story of making out with Benny Johnson at a work party in 2013.

The GENEROSITY of this list. I'd only read the first two before, and they spear you right in your solar plexus. Slowly making my way through the rest. "My Unraveling" is astonishing.

“I think what they’re really concerned about is that left politics *will* resonate — and you’ll have progressives and democratic socialists in office demanding that the Democratic Party leadership actually do something.”

The Democrats’ “Woke” Panic and the Left’s Response
The victory of left-wing candidates in Democratic primary elections shows that voters want a different path. But party leaders don’t.

I can’t sleep so I’m watching #Pitch as per @tanyamelendez.bsky.social’s recommendation. (She’s actually the only person allowed to tell me to watch a show.) This is GREAT. A shame there’s only one season.
