The fear of a dog winding up on the autism spectrum. What if it became nonverbal? Clearly worth the risk of rabies. /s 🙄

Bought a pumpkin intending to carve it but the squirrels beat me to it! I think what it lacks in detail it makes up for in macabre.

In our family we agreed we’d rather hear more about the blackheads. (Tough contest, though).

This was a wild episode of #omitb. Because it’s like… that’s three Oscar winners plus Selena Gomez (and then the joined Renee Zellweger for a fourth).

I really liked Jeremiah in general—but I do think his whole astrology thing was a big part of his loss. Deciding to engage with Alex based on pseudoscience instead of reality.

Canceled a birthday dinner for my spouse tonight because he’s still testing positive for Covid. And I’ve been rather surprised by how many people are surprised by that decision, since he feels fine. Everyone seems shocked that we’d make a decision based on not wanting to potentially harm others.

I canceled my subscription to the Washington Post and subscribed to Karen Attiah’s substack. It felt sad. And necessary. My first major switch from legacy to indie media. Always in service of upholding the 4th Estate.

New from me:

There's a lot of misinformation around the reasons I was fired from WaPo.

Here's the official termination letter I got sent by Washington Post.

Read and judge for yourself.

I’m no fashionista but I really hated all the black gowns with weird puffy sections last night. I hope that’s not the new trend. But I agree that Lisa from Blackpink’s look was absolutely divine! #Emmys #Emmys2025

Picture of Lisa looking flawless in a float pink gown that manages to be both beautiful and interesting.

There was a news story about an announcement planned at that time… and people wanted to know if the speaker was alive or not.

A months-long investigation estimates that the profits from the Trump family’s ventures in private clubs, hotels, golf courses, crypto currencies, NFTs, and other businesses has raised President Trump’s net worth by billions of dollars.

How Much Is Trump Profiting Off the Presidency?

My kids’ school does T-Rex drills… so they can practice what they need to without it being a realistic threat of any type.
