Gay. Pro-equality/diversity but skeptical of mainstream feminism and liberal orthodoxies in general. Toes in academia/publishing so staying anonymous.

@Madmaddingcrowd Thanks! One of my favorite places in the world is a two-stepping bar I visit in El Paso every year. This song always plays and the locals are surprisingly good dancers.

@teruterubouzu Oh! I wasn't sure if it was some weirdly sexy gym class. I should have guessed. I visit a two-stepping bar in El Paso every year and this song is big there. Thanks!

@landofthe80s Yes. I also remember mothers driving Beetles, Rabbits, and Renault LeCars. I knew a mother of five who drove a Beetle. You just piled the kids in like a clown car and took off.

Proving once again that men are wasted on women. Gay men see hotness everywhere. I drive across the USA every year, and it seems like every gas station in the country has a hottie in a pickup truck.
Lee@AccordingToLee

There’s a conversation happening on TikTok where the girls are finally talking about how a lot of men aren’t actually attractive. Like you go to the grocery store and see a ton of stunning women, but men? You will remember how many months back you last saw a hot man.

@rihwooby @upshine3 I went to a WASPy boarding school feeder and lifeguarded at a club with an abbreviation in the Social Register and definitely encountered kids with weirder names. I could actually picture a little Burns.

@ktmartinez @upshine3 I read it too! I went to school with kids named Townshend, Ogden, Hanley. Knew twins with the names Simmons (girl) and Chillingworth (boy).

@ScimitarReliant @upshine3 Yes! I just finished that Belle Burden divorce memoir and her brother’s name was Shirley. That’s the real good generational wealth shit.

The character's in a crappy studio apartment, but she turns it into a home and dutifully folds/unfolds the sofa bed every morning and night. She takes part in whatever social life is on offer in her city. Her job is low-level. But she gives herself permission to enjoy it all.

@NancyRomm This story makes me angry on his behalf but...he was dating where he worked AND dating multiple people there? MeToo stories are often maddening b/c they leave out that women have choices, but so did this guy. What happened to him couldn't happen to anyone.

In late December, I emailed my editor at @RCInvestigates to say I was following a story. "It's a doozy," I told him. Drops in about an hour. Strap in!

@BuckSexton Oh my god I love Magnolia. Julianne Moore's breakdown at the drugstore counter was just one of many great moments. It came out the same year as American Beauty, which swept the Oscars and sucked hard.

What is the worst movie you ever saw in a theater? I'll go first: Magnolia (Honorable mentions: Ferrari, Vanilla Sky, Jury Duty, AI)

Never heard of Rob Bingham, but he's apparently the novelist called by another name by Belle Burden. 90s NYC, a burgeoning writing career, independent wealth, and friendship with Stephen Malkmus? On the surface, hell yeah. As you read on, no thanks. nymag.com/nymetro/arts/f…

She says she was paraphrasing a quote to explain it to her kid. I believe her. And I bet a lot of the people calling for her head believe her or don't care enough to take the time to think about it. They're joining in the outrage to score points. nytimes.com/2026/02/22/nyr…
