This is the story of what followed—and what I learned about love, grief, and the stories we all need. 8/8 theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…


Classic instance of one hand of the Trump octopus not knowing what the other seven are doing.

Lutnick: "He’s not getting a job for HHS." Me: "He would not be in charge of HHS?” “No,” Lutnick said, “of course not."



If he’s gonna keep doing these cartoon misanthropes, would really like to see Mrs. Krabappel helming the Dept. of Ed

I look forward to equally improbable stories. Well, less improbable. Who are we kidding.

Breaking News: The Onion, the satirical publication, said it won a bankruptcy auction to buy Infowars, a website run by the conspiracy theorist Alex Jones. nyti.ms/48TRlan



Trump seems to want a lot of hens overseen by someone from the Foxhouse.


Will anyone who's on Bluesky pls DM me so I can find you? Set up shop there 48 hours ago and am loving it. The tweet below got zero reposts here but 41 there when I had *only 50 followers*, and the replies were deeeelightfully nerdy, all Douglas Adams and Fermi and string theory.

Sometimes I believe in a multiverse with a planet identical to ours, except Trump didn't win, I don't have long Covid, and instead I'm a professional basketball player. But then I think of Fermi's question—If the universe is so vast, where the hell is everybody?—and reconsider.



To my colleagues at @TheAtlantic: Your future colleague, @jonathanchait, is not only brilliant, but one of the most generous journos in the biz. He probably doesn't even remember the time he patiently walked me through a text I shoulda been smart enough to understand, but I do.


Oh My Gooooooooooooood!!!!!! Yessssssssssssssss.

Some personal news. Sad to say goodbye to ⁦@NYMag⁩ but thrilled to be joining ⁦@TheAtlanticnymag.com/intelligencer/…

@JenSeniorNY⁩ once again finds the human moment, the still in the storm, the ways in which - much as we hate to face it - we’re all we’ve got. We’re vulnerable, time-limited, often broken. What we have in common with the “other”is our humanity. theatlantic.com/politics/archi…


Just started my migration to Bluesky and OMG it's like Night-sky and Day-sky

As an arrogant coastal elite windbag, I considered whether to repost this, as it’s in restraint of trade. But as someone who believes the Democratic Party has to change in significant ways, I am compelled to do it.

Completely cleave out the arrogant coastal elite windbaggery that resonates with nobody. For starters.



The volume of past-election analyses is so overwhelming today that I think all I can manage is Wordle.


I fear that monocausal explanations are a lot easier for hot takes, when in a nation of 330M one cause for anything seems kinda unlikely.


Gah. Was dictating as I walked. Tried to correct various spelling errors and Siri liberties, but didn’t catch: “Sean,” which obviously should been “Shawn” and “sled-restraint”, which shoulda been “self-restraint”. Oh Siri…

Best New York celebrity sighting ever just now: Wallace Sean, loaded down with shopping bags, smilingly talking to a fan. Took every ounce of sled-restraint not to shout: “Running into you here? While shopping for flatware? Inconceivable!”

I decided to write a very different kind of piece about the election. We’re never going to find our way back to one another through ideological arguments. It’s our vulnerabilities that bind us. theatlantic.com/politics/archi…

#LongCovid is directly impacting our military and national defense — 1 in 4 Marines were still impacted after a year from a mild infection.

Many young US Marines with mild Covid prospectively followed ~1 year developed #LongCovid sequelae thelancet.com/journals/lanam…
