I'm hearing a lot of "Jews in New York are scared" today. So, a couple of thoughts: 1) Jews should be angry, not scared. We were targeted with a relentless, heavily funded barrage of lies playing off of real fears of antisemitism by a man who came within 7 points of winning. That reeks of contempt.>

After her story on influencer Liv Schmidt's "Skinni Société," @ejdickson.bsky.social & I talked about why #SkinnyTok is a Trumpian backlash to wellness culture, why marketing matters (Liv's unfortunately v good at it) & what responsible influencers could do instead. Full vid: bodytype.substack.com

A few years ago I worked for a men’s magazine and edited this writer who was a biohacker. He would take any gas station dick pill or inject anything into his dick or do anything to his balls for like $500. Anyway I just saw on IG that RFK Jr invited him to give a presentation at the White House

NEW from me: #SkinnyTok influencer Liv Schmidt is making an est. $100k a month from the Skinni Societe, a group of girls encouraging each other to starve themselves. I joined the group and found at least 15 members who are still in high school. Here’s what else I saw: www.thecut.com/article/infl...

NEW from me: Bill Belichick went to support his GF Jordon Hudson at the Miss Maine USA pageant because after the disastrous CBS News interview it would have "looked worse" if he didn't go, a source familiar with their relationship says. (She placed third.) www.thecut.com/article/jord...

NEW from me: I spent the weekend at the Miss Maine USA pageant chasing around a VERY annoyed Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson, his 24-year-old girlfriend. I also met a Navy vet bodyguard named Dutch, gossiped with drunk former beauty queens, and got yelled at a lot! www.thecut.com/article/jord...

If you’re curious about Trump’s new surgeon general nominee Casey Means, I wrote about her for @nymag.com. She didn’t finish her residency in med school, which is cool! Also very cool she thinks hormonal birth control is a “disrespect of life” www.thecut.com/article/case...

NEW from me: I talked to people who went to A Million Lives, the so-called "Fyre Fest of BookTok." Apparently 500 people were expected to show up and only 30 did. Also, the entertainment at the "Lavender Romantasy Ball" was a security guard holding a mini JBL speaker. www.thecut.com/article/mill...

David’s a great editor and a lovely person and this thread of just a few of the genuinely news-breaking stories he worked on with very few institutional resources while at Daily Dot makes a really strong case for bringing him into your news org.

The Daily Dot was a magical place. I was able to write whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted. Everyone was talented and hardworking; no one had an ego or was territorial. We worked our asses off to build something cool. I met my best friends there. I cannot emphasize enough how grateful I am for it.

Really sad. Andrew's right. Fantastic writers & editors came out of Dot, including @ejdickson.bsky.social. (Why I only worked there for 4 months is a story I'll tell another day after a couple of rum drinks ...) If anyone at the Dot wants advice for freelancing, reach out anytinme.

The Daily Dot—a site that helped define the internet era and was a launch pad for me and a ton of your favorite journalists like @marisakabas.bsky.social, @ericgeller.bsky.social, @asankin.bsky.social, @kevincollier.bsky.social, @williamturton.bsky.social, @kateconger.com & more—has been gutted.

SCOOP — The US sent Iraqi refugee Omar Ameen to Rwanda via new diplomatic relationship in which they've agreed to act as a "third country" for deportees unable to be safely returned to their country of origin, per cables reviewed by me. This is first reported instance. Cable indicates more to come.
