Trump praises "wonderful" Duterte, who encouraged thousands of murders. Here's my first-hand investigation midnight in the slums of Manila: The List, on vigilante killings in the Philippines, from the New York Times Sunday Magazine: nyti.ms/2jAFRSv

@patevangelista @NewYorker Congrats Patricia, and thank you for mentoring me in Manila in 2017.

I am truly honored that #SomePeopleNeedKilling was named among the @NewYorker's 12 Best Nonfiction Books of 2023. It is a difficult book about difficult events. I am grateful it is being read, and am glad the selection may bring our story to more people.

Just used tequila to disinfect a cut finger. How's it going for you?

@ClaraJeffery Totally justified.

@AfghanistanSola I cannot DM you. Could you follow me?

@dolphinsands Candle snuffer?

@Leah_Sottile You got this.

@AfghanistanSola Can you DM please?

اسراییل باید خپلې سرغړونې او پارونې ودروي، تاریخي او قانوني وضعیت ته درناوی وکړي، د جومات حرمت او د عبادت کوونکو ازادۍ ته درناوی وکړي. زه هره ورځ منندوی یم چې په افغانستان کې ژوند کوم چې د یهودانو له شتون څخه پاک هیواد دی. الله دې د اسرایلو ظلم له دې نړۍ لرې کړي. امین. #Palestine

Hey @AfghanistanSola can I talk to you? I read you are writing a book. I want to learn about it.

@Leah_Sottile I had that once…in 1994

Great inside look at Italian “ultras” and the criminal/fascist overlap in #soccer. I covered the South American version: patricksymmes.com/articles/publi… Football wars: what the murder of ‘the Uncle’ says about life inside Italy’s ultras theguardian.com/football/2022/…

@JLCauvin Dude no. Actual science shows that Good n Plenty is one of women’s favorite smells. (Along with baby powder and banana bread). Get on it!!!

Candy corn is a hack answer and if you've ever had an Entenmann's Halloween cupcake you realize that Candy corn on the right team can have a solid role. If you think good n plenty is "awesome" then you probably don't like actual candy or have defective taste buds.

Good N Plenty was, is, and always will be the worst Halloween candy.

@EileenTruax Feliz Dia de Los Muertos Chilango!
