Since I was a teenager I've joked that if I fail as a real writer I would become a black conservative grifter with my memoir "Young, Gifted, and Wack: How Drooping Drawers and Hip-Hop Hooligans Keep Us Down." This guy is unironically the real life version of my dumb joke.

We're relieved to learn yesterday’s announcement was a misunderstanding, not a change to public access. The National Archives preserves our shared history and ensures the people’s right to know. That mission matters more than ever. x.com/usnatarchive...

You know what would encourage people to get more physical activity? No, it is not wearable fitness trackers. It is: 1. A liveable wage so people have time for it 2. Safe parks and other infrastructure for such activity But that’s too hard.

Toni Morrison is one of the greatest writers to ever live. What many don’t know, is that she was also the first Black woman to become a senior editor at Random House. I wrote about a new book that discusses how she edited by day, wrote by night, and ushered in a new generation of Black writers.

A story that got less attention was the incredibly cynical primary of my amazing Councilwoman—the first Muslim woman ever elected to the NYC Council—by a billionaire, corporate-backed candidate also lobbing gross accusations of antisemitism. Anyway, the challenger got trounced. Hell yea.

I can't emphasize enough how ugly and pervasive and persistent the "Mamdani hates Jews" campaign was. I'm happy that so many Jews stood strong against that vileness. Maybe people will start to understand that we've had it with being treated as a paranoid, easily manipulated single-issue bloc.

RFK Jr. is flogging wearable diet/exercise monitors that cost “80 bucks a month”. This is a good demonstration of his complete lack of understanding about public health and people with differing resources from those that he enjoys. Feed them. Pay them a livable wage. Don’t track their behavior.

It’s pretty wild that in a place like DC, heating is considered a “necessity” that landlords must provide, but AC isn’t. Right now it’s 95 degrees outside, and feels like 103 according to Google.
