Now that I know our maniacal despot won't be triggering nuclear apocalypse tonight, I just want to say that Tom Colicchio just described Myrtle Beach as pristine in this episode of Last Chance Kitchen. Baby girl, we call it Dirty Myrtle for a reason...
A man asked me last night what publishing needs to do for literary fiction to begin appealing to men again. I said, as nicely as I could, that, with over 2,000 books published every Tuesday, of which many would appeal to men, it’s not a publishing problem, it’s a men problem.
The most accurate thing about this season of Top Chef, which is set in North Carolina, a state where I lived for 11 years, is that everyone is sweaty and uncomfortable.
In the last two months, I've contracted COVID for the first time ever and now I've got the flu, despite getting both shots in the fall. I think it's totally acceptable for me to cough into an envelope and send it to RFK Jr. as a thank you for the bang-up job he did stunting this year's development.
Since I know that senators from states where I don't live are reading this right now, I just want to go on record and say, don't be a fucking stooge.
The Flytrap guarantees that we will never use AI in our work, nor will we bow to the whims and demands of big tech. Worker-owned, progressive indie outlets like us can lay the foundation for a healthy civil society of the future—but only if readers choose us over and against the algorithm
It takes effort, it takes word of mouth, and, yes, it takes money. We and outlets with similar values and commitments are taking on a juggernaut. But we can win, with your help. Memberships are currently 15% off. Please join us in defying the algorithm! f.mtr.cool/zjzkkqnrzd

Sitting at a luncheon table with some women over 60 listening to them talk about who's skinny and who ate what that morning and taking the buns off their sandwiches. Just so grateful that for all the bad stuff happening to millennials at least we severely wounded if not outright killed diet culture.
In these last few hours of my thirties, let me just say this...
Every parent of two has their firstborn, the password child, and then their secondborn, a feral pizza goblin who communes with dark spirits
(living in a country where the most successful people are obscenely rich and shameless perverts and psychopaths) Time to teach my children to be honest and study hard in school
Googling "can anyone get vaccines in Canada" for no particular reason
Recently found out that in our new hometown in Vermont. we don't have a supply list for kindergarten because the school covers everything. And there's free breakfast and lunch for all students. Also my youngest goes to daycare for free. Am I... Am I in parent heaven?
Me at 20, sitting in the smoke path of a bonfire, ten bummed cigarettes into the night: I feel so alive! Me at 40, when I step outside and the AQI is above 60: je suis mort.
TODAY: Ian Williams on the death of Hulk Hogan. “Hogan was not the most important pro wrestler of all time because of what he did in the ring but because of us. And we are sick.” flaminghydra.com/r/a3348c30?m...

Waiting at a nice day spa to get my lip waxed and they played Semi Charmed Kind of Life followed by All Star. I refuse to live like this.
Parenting is hard and our culture is not supportive of parents, so yes, 98% of the time, my children do have yogurt smeared all over their faces and hands but if you think about it it's society's fault
Is it just me or is it really weird that the people who don't want my kids to have vaccines are like SO excited to take horse medicine
Me, out loud, watching a pot as it begins to boil: Nice.
