@anthonyhennen Incredible fieldwork, Anthony. Tell us more about your groundbreaking study of entire nations as monoliths.

Very different from talking with central Europeans.

Don't argue with the British about politics or day-to-day life. They have a deep desire for things to get worse and react terribly to the idea that life can be better

This is a Coral Geode, a rare form of fossilization that only occurs in a few places in the entire world.

@anthonyhennen do better.

You mean people stuck in poverty, raising kids while managing addiction, trauma, and no safety net, right? This kind of news reporting feels reductive—it describes the tragedy, but not the conditions that made it possible.

@anthonyhennen You post like you get it, but calling this a matter of “lax attitudes” completely misses the point. It’s not a vibe problem. It’s poverty, trauma, and a system that’s been failing people for decades.

Small-town Ohio has long had a drug problem, even before fentanyl, and the lax attitudes toward drugs is leaving the bottom rung and vulnerable even worse off

In Mansfield, Ohio, we wrote about an 8-year-old girl who died from a methadone overdose. Her death was a tragedy, and this quote from childrens services is a reminder of just how routine it is for kids to get a hold of their parents' drug stash.

@anthonyhennen Glad to see you took a break from reading Saddam Hussein to gentrify an alley.

Do it...buy that $10 art deco nightstand. Say four words to the guy and get outta that alley

@anthonyhennen Mailer was mad the clit didn’t make him feel godlike. That’s your prophet?

Norman Mailer predicting the future of the Democratic Party during the George McGovern campaign

@anthonyhennen So close to empathy, yet you still managed to make it about parental failure without asking why they’re using in the first place.

@anthonyhennen Love how you underlined the first part where Dostoevsky warns about exactly the type of guy who would post this.

Karamazov. Is it really a Russian novel if the Devil doesn't visit ?

Wise words from the cafe bathroom wall

@anthonyhennen Incredible how someone wearing a mask on a scooter is more outrageous to a rural Ohioan than toxic air or people who can’t afford to get sick.

We still have people in Philly wearing KN-95 masks in 90° heat as they zip around on their escooters

My mom just called someone “LGBLT”

Hip City Veg’s playlist got me right in the feels with a Frankie Valli cover and then The Cranberries 💜Did not expect to burst into tears sipping my tangerine turmeric lemonade.
