If you or anyone you know wanted the Beast to stay a beast, now is the time to tell me.

@jenashleywright.bsky.social went truffle hunting in Tuscany for The Observer and all I got was lovingly made gnocchi with freshly shaven truffles upon her return. observer.com/2026/10/truf...

What a time this is for people who have even a vague understanding of how things play out historically.

Michael C. Rockefeller got shipwrecked in 1963, washed up on an island, and was promptly eaten by cannibals.

GLITZ, GLAM, AND A DAMN GOOD TIME celebrates Gilded Age society maven Mamie Fish, an irrepressible, ambitious woman whose parties influenced as much as they entertained. @grandcentralpub.bsky.social

Mary Shelly lost her virginity on her mom's grave, facilitated a lesbian wedding, and carried her dead husband’s heart around in a bag, so, yeah, I agree, let’s return to traditional values.

I love doing book reviews for the @nytimes.com, and I especially love it when I get to review something as good as Amanda Vaill’s new biography on the Schuyler sisters. It's a pleasure from start to finish. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/22/b...

Fans of The #GildedAge, a new biography of Mamie Fish has been named as one of Amazon's best #books of August a.co/d/ivtvzYk

If Republicans don't like people excitedly speculating regarding Trump's death, they can just ignore it, the way they do gun violence.

Thank you! 🎉 🥂

It really does all come down to "men are afraid women will laugh at them. Women are afraid men will kill them."

GLITZ, GLAM, AND A DAMN GOOD TIME offers an extensively researched, highly entertaining window into the colorful life of Gilded Age party girl Mamie Fish. @grandcentralpub.bsky.social www.bookpage.com/?p=217839

I'm married to a former Colbert writer, which means I got to meet him occasionally at holiday parties. This also meant I was the *most unimportant* person at those parties. He remembered my name, joked with me and asked how my writing was going every single time. He's just a really, really nice man.

Whenever I see men post this I think about how when women are lonely, it's not pitied. It's used to chastise them for not being nicer to men. Meanwhile, when men are experiencing a "loneliness epidemic" they decide the answer is *also* that women should be nicer to men.

Has anyone else spent the entire year wanting a cigarette?

Have the guys downing protein powder and getting thigh implants ever considered "being a man in a bookstore wearing a sweater that looks soft."

The new pope seems very nice, so it's up to all of us to keep J.D. Vance away from him.

For everyone saying they voted for Trump but didn't vote for this: all he promised was tariffs and to persecute minorities.

You still don’t have 15 friends if 12 of them are imaginary.

OK I just found out about this book last night and I AM IT, I AM THE AUDIENCE, THIS IS MY HOUSE FULL OF WHEELS AND THIS BOOK IS IN IT. Insta pre-order!

The venn diagram of men calling feminists stupid and men commenting "have a nice day sexy" on pictures of A.I. women is a circle.

I know a ton of autistic people. All of them pay taxes and none of them have killed a bear and tried to bury it in Central Park.

It's a neat coincidence that anyone who loves AI art just happens to be the most uncool person you've ever met.
