Me on Thursday: “Someone needs to write about how the two top best picture contenders make so much use of the word ‘pussy’ but I’m not brave enough to do it”

i believe there are about a hundred and fifty million people like me who would pay $17 to watch benicio del toro as sergio st. carlos plan and execute a tight sunday costco run before he has to man the barbecue after his niece's afternoon soccer game (run time: 2 hours 20 minutes)

Timmy's a millennial who is a Gen Z heartthrob. Leo was a Gen Xer who was a millennial heartthrob.

I just wrote the phrase "Gen Z heartthrob" about him which feels indisputably correct but I don't know if his age technically qualifies. But maybe it's kind of like how Barack Obama is technically a Boomer but feels spiritually Gen X?

I don't think I've ever seen this question debated before and I think it's time to figure it out once and for all. Is Timothee Chalamet — born December 27, 1995 — a millennial? Please show your work.

I did most of my best work at Vanity Fair while working remotely, and it bums me out that Conde Nast is willingly letting go of talented people in the name of some vaguely defined corporate mandate.
