I would love to live in a world where we can trust men not to betray us for the sake of power and control. I am grateful for the men in my life who are safe and can be trusted. But I mourn the lives of the women who deserved so much more than just being resilient.

October is domestic violence month. When it happened to me, the statistic was one in four — fast forward twenty years later and it's one in three. A third of the women you know.

It's a crime that has one of the highest levels of impunity because the victim has to be perfect. Perfect or dead. And even then maybe she was asking for it, deserved it even.

Every time I watch Richarlison play, I can't help but sing his name to the tune of "White Iverson" - I'm sorry, and you're welcome.

Currently dissociating at a Florida outlet mall where they are blasting “What’s Up” by 4 Non Blondes, which feels a little too on the nose for this current political environment.

His & Hers on Netflix cast includes Pablo Schrieber and Chris Bauer 23 years after The Wire - which feels devastating knowing that James Ransone died by suicide less than a month ago. Season 2 with the Sobotkas always sat with me, particularly after the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse.

NYC dem mayoral campaigns have the easiest comment to make rn. To quote the great Natalie Maines: “Just so you know, we're on the good side with y'all. We do not want this war, this violence, and we're ashamed that the President of the United States is from New York.”

I feel sick to my stomach. I think back to a lecture in my master’s degree where our professor speaks about the nuance between preventative and preemptive and how in Spanish there isn’t that differentiation in language.

Really struck by a casual interjection in this article about EVs "In Brazil, where Ford has stopped making cars altogether, [...]"
U.S. audiences won't know the extent of the impact... There was a literal company-town in Brazil called "Fordlândia."

Trump is trashing electric vehicles. China is building cars the world wants.
As the U.S. spurns EVs, the rest of the world is eagerly buying Chinese models. That’s left U.S. auto firms behind, with Trump’s policies adding to the peril.

One of the most peculiar facts about Pope Francis that hasn’t gotten a lot of international press (until now) — despite several trips to Latin America, he never returned home to Argentina as pope.

Pope Francis, the Argentine pontiff, never returned home
Argentines long waited for Pope Francis to visit the homeland he left in 2013 to become the head of the Roman Catholic Church. With his death on Monday at the age of 88 after a long illness, those hopes for his return end unrealized.

12 years ago I was in Buenos Aires when they announced Jorge Bergoglio was to be the next pope — the energy was palpable. He was a man with many flaws running a religious institution that has struggled with scandal and identity in the 21st century but he was who the Catholic Church needed. QDEP

For the FT, I wrote an essay about why the daily experience of the Internet keeps getting worse, tipping us into madness and conflict. I gather ideas about slop, enshittification, and dead internet theory under what I call "the hostile Internet."

The “low birth rate” panic reminds me of how we talk about old manufacturing towns: we blame young people for leaving, but never hold governments accountable for failing to make those places (or futures) viable.

For those of us who had the privilege to be a part of it, the Center was a dream job. The smartest, kindest, most thoughtful people who are dedicated to the kind of work that rarely gets attention but often shapes the world in quiet, meaningful ways. I'm devastated.
