Wait, what?! Grammarly made an AI persona of me and all these other journalists?!!!!!
Thank you @caseynewton.bsky.social for shaming them into at least offering a paltry optout— although obviously that is not enough.

Breaking NYT:
Two teenage brothers and mariachi stars who visited the White House last summer were just released with their family from ICE detention centers in South Texas — immediately following the visit of a delegation of Democratic lawmakers who pressed for them to be freed.
I know y'all follow me for news and I've sort of pivoted to dog grief content, but I'm going through last year's expenses and just feeling wrecked. It's just this steady drumbeat of vet bills and I still feel like I failed her and couldn't ultimately save her
This is a major development. The American Economic Association (AEA) and the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) are the most powerful groups of economists in the world.

Surely the President’s task force on antisemitism will be looking into this pronto to figure out how this could have happened.

The most I ever made as a journalist was $36k, in 1995, which translates to about $76k in 2026 dollars. I was young and had cheap rent in a place that was not very expensive to live in. To be making six figures these days you have to be working in the top tier of publications.
It's not rude to note many professions make more than writing. They also make more than being a musician, or an artist, or an actor, or a dancer, etc, for all but probably the top 1%-5% depending on the outside profession and the type of creative. Creative fields are very Power Law in terms of pay.
If you get a big advance and your book tanks you should expect your next book advance (if there is one) to be a disappointing fraction of that first one, which is a let down.
(Books from politicians excepted, high advances to politicians are often lightly laundered contributions/bribes)
This is one reason @torbooks.bsky.social likes me and keeps me around: my books are pretty good genre outreach to the "normies."

Has Elon done so many drugs that he forgot about his anticipatory breach and the huge-ass lawsuit that *forced* him to buy Twitter?
It's stunning how ignorant the DOGE bros were who were sent into agencies. Justin Fox cannot even articulate in his own words what his "present understanding of DEI" is: he can't even formulate a coherent sentence about it. I wouldn't hire him for basic tech support. #NEH
