Ananda Lewis galvanized and engaged with young people honestly about the news like no other media personality has been able to do since. I wrote about how the rise of influencers and misinformation has contributed to disinvestment in journalism among this group. www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

You know his response to this is going to be stupid and infuriating, but let me assure you: you will still be surprised!

It’s like that one time every seven years when Bill Maher makes a good point: I guess I’m glad it’s happening but please don’t make me look at it.

Imagine murking Ted Cruz and still being that unlikable.

Not the point but let’s both go one neck size up and just see how we feel

This is so much sadder than I imagined.

Tuned in for one sec and I gotta say this: the marching is lackadaisical and out of sync. Whoever choreographs the Rockettes is blackout angry right now.

Studio City today. People on Ventura from Colfax all the way to Whitsett. Joyful joyful. Feels like a turning point.

NoiseWeek is a new feature I’m workshopping for Esquire. A roundup of some news from the week, and a playlist to keep you from spiraling about it. This week: thoughts on Los Angeles, Brian Wilson, Ananda Lewis, and why you should get yourself out to a march tomorrow. www.esquire.com/news-politic...

Dude wants to take it back to a time in "the city where he was born," when there were no "strangers." This is commonly known as "childhood."

we do not need your help www.esquire.com/news-politic...

Hamilton Nolan is always on point, but today he is especially on point. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/youre-a-bu...

The situation in DTLA to which 700 Marines have been deployed is a couple dozen interfaith clergypersons leading a small crowd in prayer.

Thank you!

Workshoppin’ a new regular feature for Esquire: a roundup of the week’s news, with an accompanying playlist to keep you from thinking too hard about the week’s news. Here’s the pilot episode, if you dig it, please share it! www.esquire.com/news-politic...

This is like drake and kendrick lamar but they’re both bubba sparxxx

Psst, the companies: because it’s not ready.

Love it when the text says “thanks” and the Apple intelligence text summarization feature that I did not ask for says “gratitude was expressed.” Saves time and effort!

I thought “it can’t be that bad.” It is!

We can have a little bullying, as a treat. www.esquire.com/news-politic...

So like…these people would be getting an advanced degree in gay?

Hey, FDA commissioner Marty Makary, I’m a type-1 diabetic and if I could julienne my way out of that, I already would have. Theeenks and good luck with your FDA commissioning.

YES PLEASE

Just got served a YouTube ad for a super-high-end resort and the narration said "no two days are like the ones before." This should not bum me out as much as it does.

I just saw someone in a ball cap that said MY VIBE RIGHT NOW IS JUST LIVING LIFE, and it is the dumbest way I’ve ever had my day ruined.

This Eurovision result is bananapants.

I liked that only Italy gave English subtitles for their lyrics and I loved their lyrics: in yesterday, I played the rogue, I reject the mirror, caramel was given to me.

So far Latvia Italy UK for me. #eurovision

I do not share our president’s assessment of Bruce Springsteen’s face, but if Bruce does look more worn, perhaps it is because he works very hard at his job.
