I wrote about being child-free by choice, and how everyone should get to make their own choices. Here’s my latest piece for @thisisinsider. insider.com/i-never-wanted…

@Robyniwitz On the night of this, your Shepapalooza, I confess I just saw this and I did in fact scream out loud in a bar at the implications.

@Robyniwitz Oh man.

De Blasio: ‘Well, Well, Well, Not So Easy To Find A Mayor That Doesn’t Suck Shit, Huh?’ bit.ly/4ejo5M9

@Robyniwitz I’ll say

@Robyniwitz Omg

@Robyniwitz OMG WTF

@SheaSwauger This is wonderful! Congratulations!

I can't describe what this feels like. I made huge life choices ten years ago banking on the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program, and, despite lots of people trying to take it away, it finally happened for me. I hope the same for everyone with student loan debt

With terrific takes from @EastsideGolf @blackballedgolf @dieworkwear and more, this piece by @howardruben for @fashion_dive gets into golf as fashion, and delivers some surprising insights.

@cmclymer You'll get a similar reaction if you tell men in their late 30s and early 40s that you have never heard the song Mr. Brightside. Ask me how I know.

If there happens to be a certain kinda man of a much older age in your life who's a bit of a jerk and you wanna mess with him--at work, extended family, whatever--simply pretend to not know any of his favorite music. You don't even have to really sell it. Just act baseline oblivious and nonchalant in response. Neutral in tone. Generous enough to sorta acknowledge this unimportant thing with tepid curiosity. "Nope, I've never heard of Led Zeppelin." "Dark Side of the Moon, you say? Is it on Spotify?" "Brian Wilson. Cool. I'll check him out." Act slightly surprised at his offense. Express a look of soft confusion, knitted eyebrows, as he attempts to tell you where you've probably heard the music he likes in other moments of iconic pop culture. You know nothing about any of this, of course, and shake your head apologetically because you can tell how much it means to him. "I'm sorry, I've never seen Ferris Bueller's Day Off. It sounds great, though." "I know there was a Woodstock in the late '90s. Wait, was there one before that?" "I had no idea Nancy Sinatra's father sings, too." Stay strong. Hold the line. Don't break character. Use his condescension to your advantage. The impulse to contextualize this thing that was so formative in his life will eventually collapse under the anxiety of his perceived missed swings at pop culture, and he will spiral into existential mania. Sky's the limit. You can keep this going for minutes or days or years. Happy trolling!

May we all be lucky enough to have strangers out there ringing metaphysical doorbells for us when we need help to get where we're going.

I'm going to assume that Semafor didn't intend for this to be an insult but I'm never going to read quotes like this and stay silent. There is *nothing* unglamorous about passionately covering industries and issues that impact every person on this planet.

@Robyniwitz Geez, that’s one shitty box of chocolates.

@Robyniwitz Good lord. The drama really your constant companion.
