Latest news re: ongoing cuts to BuzzFeed / HuffPo mostly just makes me realize those hundreds of pieces I wrote over six years (that are already riddled with weird ads and lost images) are probably going to disappear sooner rather than later

I over-identify with my dog Beverly: an obstinate, enthusiastic, verified garbage-monster. But I cannot understand how she wakes up and consistently poops before she pees.

I've watched/read some cursory stuff on Ludwig Göransson Odyssey score but would love something long and juicy — the equivalent of what Switched on Pop did for the Wuthering Heights score. Ideas???

I have a timeline question about the Odyssey: They arrive on the beach to try and fight Troy and I swear I heard the voiceover say that they wasted away there for ten years before Odysseus comes up with this plan — false? How long are we to understand they're there?

I love New York, I love summer, I love high-density housing, I love monoculture

Gah this was excellent in so many ways www.talkscratch.com/colette-shad...

Did you go to Brandi this weekend at The Gorge? I've been to multiple sold-out shows before but have never dealt with lines and lack-of-space like I did last night — obviously it was still incredible, but would love to hear from anyone who has insight on WTF changed

'romanticize' doesn't mean what Evie Weekly thinks it means

"Stories show what it looks like when someone is denied care, a founder relocates a company, or a family leaves a state they love. Data shows these aren't isolated incidents, but part of a broader pattern affecting workforce stability and economic competitiveness." www.patreon.com/posts/156113...

This is super interesting to me — boomers radicalizing, Gen-X taking up (traditional) boomer politics (which is always what they said would happen to millennials, because Gen X was too cool and alternative etc etc etc)

What's the future of newsletters look like? I increasingly think it's high-level curation — like, here's a place where you can bundle three subscriptions to the 20 smart newsletter writers who aren't repulsive, trafficking in conspiracy, or white supremacists

Ah yes Rec Cross Jesus

Many millennials absorbed the belief that the easiest & cheapest way to do anything is to do it online — including getting something like home insurance.....when in fact it is A BILLION times easier to call up a local agency and have them handle everything

imagine telling the Pope to "get his act together"
