@IonaItalia @MsMaiaMarsh Well it’s a beautiful name and you look like a beautiful woman (inside and out).

@notille @MsMaiaMarsh It's counterintuitive isn't it? But it's a Parsi name (seriously, Google the Italias) and was originally Ita-walla (lit. brick seller, prob more like Mason).

I would make a good girlfriend: I'm affectionate, easygoing, kind and enjoy sex. (@MsMaiaMarsh can confirm the first 3.) I ask only that the guy is intelligent, fit(ish) & has his shit together. But I've been unable to find a long-term prospect in over a year now. Help!

How many people went for the picnic?

@KBAndersen No one who should pay attention will. That’s 2026.

This is the most interesting, thought-provoking and important story about anything I’ve read in a long time. Gift link: nytimes.com/2026/02/09/opi…

@NewYorker @ilya_poet Amazing, perfect, finally somebody makes sense

@freedlander @NYMag Just curious: which cities have tried to become more affordable and suffered for trying? You wrote there were some but didn’t name.

For the latest issue of @NYMag, I wrote about Zohran Mamdani on the cusp of his mayoralty nymag.com/intelligencer/…

@bariweiss @TheFP You just lost your credibility

From day one, the promise—and the business proposition—of @TheFP was simple: We would marry the quality of the old world to the freedom of the new. We would seek the truth and tell it plainly. And we would treat readers like adults capable of making their own choices. So many people told us this was no longer possible. That the premise of a media company built on trust rather than partisanship was, at best, a relic from the past—and, at worst, a fantasy that never was. That the internet killed journalism. That there simply weren’t enough Americans out there in search of media driven by honesty, independence, and integrity. Our readers proved them wrong. Our subscribers demonstrated that there’s a market for honest journalism. And they’ve given us a mandate to pursue that mission from an even bigger platform. thefp.com/p/the-future-o…

@JustinCChang Amid your meditations on stardom, intention, etc you forgot to say what a bad movie this is.

Of the two new movies in which a film-industry father seeks to reconcile with his two neglected daughters, I'm a bit surprised to find myself preferring the honest schmaltz of JAY KELLY to the coy self-satisfaction of SENTIMENTAL VALUE. newyorker.com/magazine/2025/…

@BruceLyricsNL He lost me when he started singing in funny voices

What's your opinion? #Nebraska82

@UTD_jacey Pirlo did it more than once

this is the greatest penalty in the history of penalties x.com/utdgaj/status/…

@PaulHembo The Phillies lost more games.

The Phillies scored more runs.
The Phillies had more hits.
The Phillies hit more homers.
The Phillies struck out fewer times.
The Phillies drew more walks.
The Phillies stole more bases.   Baseball is so cruel.

@donwinslow Maybe it can be unsewed

Not since the Civil War have so many Americans been fighting other Americans. That is the legacy of Donald J. Trump. He sewed hate. He relentlessly lied. He divided a nation.

@Martina @piersmorgan You want a balloon or a lollipop?

@piersmorgan The woke left didn’t kill Kirk

Charlie Kirk’s assassin Tyler Robinson, 22, killed him because he hated his opinions and thought he was a fascist. Yet ironically, HE was the fascist, killing someone to silence their opposing views. The woke left love to say ‘speech is violent.’ It’s not - violence is.

@JoyceCarolOates It’s not DIY

if you're Catholic, it's just silly to parade around on Ash Wednesday with a large, dark charcoal cross on your forehead proclaiming how devout you are; & implying that those who are not parading around with a cross on their foreheads are less devout than you. a subtle sort of smudge is considered quite enough.

@SVG__Collection Return to Forever’s “Light as a Feather”

What’s a jazz album you’d suggest to someone who isn’t a fan of jazz to change their mind?

@JVMonte2 After the Gold Rush

What’s a great song that doesn’t mention the title of the song? (Instrumentals don’t count)

@StevieVanZandt You asked for history and here it is

This is not fun.

@dieworkwear Another brilliant thread

It's interesting to see how gender in aesthetics is constantly a moving target. Will explain how four outfits from today's Todd Snyder FW25 show were once considered very masculine, but now may not because men perform disinterest in clothes. 🧵

@StevieVanZandt Mr. Stucazzo, if he kept doing it those half the distance to the goal line penalties would have moved the line of scrimmage to the middle of the end zone!

Oh really? Do you think somehow I missed that? Yes Mr. Schlemiel that’s what he did. And he should’ve been allowed to do it 10 times in a row, and yes, been penalized for being offsides 10 times in a row. Not threatened with an ordained TD by the ref because his timing was off!

@StevieVanZandt Schmuck, that’s what he did!

Schmuck! Nobody is saying he should be able to jump over the fucking lines BEFORE the snap!
