Wow, 25 years since Joe Wood died. I often think of our visits to the Film Forum in the 90s. Great writer @jledbetter @villagevoice @kathsstewart @colsonwhitehead

Hasn't penetrated US discourse that the next president of Mexico is likely to be its first woman president, a Jewish woman named Claudia Sheinbaum whose grandparents fled Hitler's armies and who has a PhD in energy engineering and worked for the IPCC. Pretty incredible story!

I’ve seen more posthumous posts on social media about Bill Walton these last 24 than anybody i remember. BW really has Led Zeppelined all fanatics into the Grateful Dead realm in his spirited own way. Wow 🙏🏿

Bill Walton was a national treasure. May he rest in peace.

Is there a super-sized unemployment program still running that I have missed? I'm confused what Vivek is talking about when he says we're paying people more to stay at home than to work. What program is doing that?

The idea that a balanced budget amendment actually balances budgets is one of the most enduring lies of modern Republican politics.

I’m now interim Editor in Chief at @Jezebel. I’m a massive fan of this team, am grossly obsessed with the work they do, and still feel honored every time I get to hit publish on one of their stories.
