I don’t give a shit about Miley Cyrus, but that album is actually really good.

Love this. Idler Wheel (and When the Pawn, and...) is a masterpiece and I cannot wait for the next one.

Check out Holly Madison’s first book. It’s a quick but fascinating read.

Same. I heard the first bar of vocals, and it was an immediate hard pass.

I once saw DDL in full costume (yes, with a handlebar mustache. I know you were about to ask), standing around in the middle of Union Square Park. Just living. It’s the single greatest thing that I’ve seen in my many years of living in New York.

Man, the videos from When the Pawn were so good...

I wish that that theme song were a full-length track. It’s outstanding.

So sorry that you’re going through this. I feel the same way about my current situation, and it’s incredible how it can affect how you feel about your whole life. Have you tried working with a recruiting company? There are many shitty ones out there that give them a bad rep, but I’ve found that working with…

He really did the loveliest work on Tori Amos. I’m still in love with these looks:

Neat! They pretty much write that exactly in the book, so it seems that they are consistently describing their brand inspiration and identity. You must have some stories!

Maybe it’s my startup-employee Stockholm Syndrome talking, but I really enjoyed the Juicy founders’ memoir. I love a good origin story.

I had that Milla Jovovich album in high school, but never connected just how much Kate Bush and Annie Lennox there is in it until now. Thanks for the reminder.

People are so screwed-up. I had a similar experience—I was hospitalized for a severe allergic reaction, and spent weeks working from home while dealing with the aftermath (continuing reactions, a bad case of bronchitis, rounds upon rounds of antibiotics for resulting infections, etc.). I was rather thin to begin with,…

I’m glad — and it sounds like you have an excellent team behind you. Wishing you all the best! :)

I am so sorry to hear that. I watched my sister go through a similar experience before she had her two boys, and it is such a wrenching thing.

YES. I wrote a sophomore year college paper about this, I was so disturbed by it. The fucking pageant at the end... ugh.

For the love of pasta, I hope you are correct.

You’re right, I never thought that Russia would elect us a sentient evil cheeto.

I will be shocked if Ryan doesn’t run. He seems like a more plausible candidate (but then again, I never thought we’d elect a sentient evil cheeto, so...).

Thank you! This was so helpful. I’m glad that you’ve had relief and have been healthier since your procedure! Interesting re: your energy level dropping for 6 months post-surgery — I had not heard that before, but it’s good to be prepared for. I have basically spent the Fall/Winter half of the last 3 years either in…
