a number of strangers and high school acquaintances have emailed me to say "I will think about your butt every day now," which is of course all I could've asked for in writing this essay nytimes.com/2025/01/14/mag…

@DannyGroner @MediaREDEF I'd thought so, too, myself -- but alas: merriam-webster.com/grammar/just-d…

@BenMullin deeply bothered by the grammar/copy errors in both of these

Tidbit: amid all the tumult at The Post, motivational posters have gone up.

The Financial Independence Retire Early (FIRE) movement got its start in the early 2000s with a mantra of extreme saving. It has since come to include anyone who would like to exit the work force on their own terms, at an age of their own choosing. nyti.ms/4a659gV

I have a new short story out today—about pain, pleasure, and the amount of money it'd take to blur the line between the two—in @JoylandMagazine 💞 You can read it here: joylandmagazine.com/fiction/catch-…
