UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

Everyone of these people from Weiss to Shapiro lives dead in the center of a Venn diagram between "HUGE theater kid energy" and "the most intensely unlikable person you've ever met"

Bari Weiss introduced herself to CBS News staff today on the network's 9AM call, saying she wants to "win," which requires restoring trust to CBS. She also said she was excited for staff to get to know the Free Press, and ended her remarks by saying: "Let's do the fucking news."

i remain resolute in my confidence we will win and it will be because we stuck together. dooming and fatalism is not how any of us will get out of this mess. i’m saying this as a veteran climate journalist who is a trans woman. if i have more hope than you, think of what that says about your view

Went home to South Carolina for a wake yesterday. Saw an overturned Little Tikes Cozy Coupe on an entrance ramp to I-85 near Gaffney.

Incredible state.
