I reviewed this interesting book about how weird work feels in late capitalism www.nytimes.com/2025/06/16/b...
My theory of Garland is he’s a master of knowing exactly what liberals fear at any moment. Don’t go to Thailand they’ll take your kidney (the beach) you’re being invaded (28 days later) computers will kill you (ex machina) country’s at war (civil war). He’s great at it
There it is. The first ever Heat Advisory issued in Alaska. This is the first year it has been an option. @alaskawx.bsky.social
Today is Anne Frank's birthday.

Brian Wilson was having a breakdown before a tour in Japan and Al Jardine said “just stay home - play around with all your pet sounds.” Which is why…if there’s a second spirit that matters most in The Beach Boys, it’s Al. Who played with him till the end. Farewell genius. I’m sorry for the world.

Think about all the incredible writers you know who can’t get any publicity but James Fucking Frey gets the front page glow up in the Sunday NY Times, called a “literary outlaw” for making shit up in a book billed as non-fiction, and a whole paragraph devoted to him describing his orgasms.
Jonathan Haidt & co like to scold parents for overestimating the dangers of letting kids roam free. But it really is more dangerous for kids to be alone on the streets now. Not because of kidnappers — because of cars.
🚨BIG STORY: Senators put a line into the crypto bill requiring bankrupt banks to prioritize remunerating crypto investors over depositors.

I’m honored, thank you!
He needed air. The price was $539.
When OptumRx dropped coverage of his $66 inhaler, Cole couldn’t afford the new price.
5 days later, he died from a severe asthma attack—with no inhaler.
He paid with his life.

New from @davidarmstrongx.bsky.social:
When I was diagnosed with cancer, I set out to understand why a single pill of Revlimid cost the same as a new iPhone. I’ve covered high drug prices as a reporter for years. What I discovered shocked even me.
The Top 1% of U.S. earners now have more wealth than the entire middle class
Lynch’s politics are obviously far left because he was smart and not a monster but there is A truth here, however accidentally, which is that his work and right wing politics are both based almost completely in one emotion: fear
I'm seeing that people around here have been reading Victor Klemperer's diaries lately (there are two volumes), and I can't recommend them too highly.
The parties included a 7, 8, and 4-year-old.
"None of the children were accompanied by parents or attorneys."
"The 4-year-old girl in the tie-dye shirt raised her hand, dangling her pink plushy above her head. It wasn’t clear – was she responding to the question, or just playing with her toy?"

Oh wow thank you so much Anne!!! I’m barely on here. I should be more. Good to find you again after the exodus from twitter, and really, thanks!
I wrote a bit about Joan Didion. Also I’m so incredibly sorry about the state of the world! www.nytimes.com/2025/03/11/b...
Holy cow! This has been an extraordinary week of impact for @propublica and our journalists. I wanted to take a moment to share the power of accountability journalism to make a difference. Here we go!
In re Claremont, Paul Fussell rightly pointed out back in the 80s that think tanks and institutes with all their talk of “scholars” and “fellows” was just people playing at university without having actually to put in the work—or, I’d add, having to face oppositional views from colleagues.
November! Thank you so much for asking :)
