Yes! YES! This is an *incredible*, bold, and totally deserved choice. A DAY IN THE LIFE OF ABED SALAMA is a masterpiece, and couldn't be more timely.

(I was juror for this category; we selected 3 finalists, but had no idea which the Pulitzer board would pick. I'm so thrilled.)

The FTC has voted in favor of adopting a historic ban on noncompete agreements

The agency has said that the agreements, in which workers are forbidden from seeking a job with a competing business for a certain period of time, lead to an “unfair method of competition” and violate federal law
The FTC Just Banned Noncompete Agreements And It's A Huge Deal
Commissioners approved the historic regulation on the grounds that noncompetes stifle competition for workers. A legal challenge is all but certain.

If you're a prospective juror in the Trump trial, you are morally obligated to find the most insulting memes about Trump and post them on social media right away.

there is an overwhelming probability that this is the first time Trump is actually seeing many or most of these memes

Judge Merchan is reading Trump memes reposted by prospective jurors into the record and periodically apologizing for any offense given. The latest: "Trump invites the Thai boys to the White House, and the boys request to return to their cave."

I feel like this works for every creative profession. For writing I will add “you have to publish in high brow publications to prove you are serious, and you must be paid for your work (because you need to eat) but you must also offer everything you write for free.”

ok the Reacher guy keeps it real as hell
The Hollywood Reporter headline: The High Highs and Low Lows of Alan Ritchson. There's a photo of Ritchson on a motorcycle “I’m a Christian quite simply because of what Jesus calls us to do. Love other people until death. It doesn’t mean we’re all to be hung on a cross, but how can I suffer for you? That is a beautiful thing.” “Cops get away with murder all the time, and the fact that we can’t really hold them accountable for their improprieties is disturbing to me. We should completely reform the way that we do it. I mean, you shouldn’t have to spend more time getting an education as a hairstylist than as a cop who’s armed with a deadly weapon. We should make it very hard for people to make mistakes or abuse power in our institutions.” That simple message, he says, has become twisted in today’s fraught political landscape. “Christians today have become the most vitriolic tribe. It is so antithetical to what Jesus was calling us to be and to do,” he explains. It also upsets him that some Christians have so closely aligned with former President Donald Trump. “Trump is a rapist and a con man, and yet the entire Christian church seems to be treat him like he’s their poster child and it’s unreal. I don’t understand it.”

when I was in college this utter prick used to leave long, incomprehensible critiques in the guest-log of our school's art gallery; he loved doing this so much that he'd go back to read his own entries and recite them to anyone nearby. finally, I began replying under a pseudonym: Murky Jennings.

This is why I love reading Yelp reviews. The reviews have some pure gold.
A one star review of a random dive bar: I'm pretty sure the microwave in the corner is a Superfund site. What kind of bar has a microwave anyway? I prefer my beer to get warm the old-fashioned way, and I don't think the cups are microwave-safe to boot. I feel like this place is full of Socialism and is terribly un-American. A one star review of a random dive bar: The bartender told me to go sit in the corner. He didn't respect my ideas. Also everyone left because they don't have tacos here. And the music sucks. A one star review of a dive bar: fell into an uncovered water manhole directly outside this venue upon leaving Thursday night. No signs, ropes, cones etc were displayed anywhere. sprained my ankle and have severe cuts/ bruises up to my kneecaps. & apparently this is a recurring issue. Has management contacted the city about this A one star review for a dive bar: Worst ever, bartender needs to shut his mouth, your supposed to serve not tell me and my friends to get the fuck out. Not that we did anything wrong, he called us murders, cussed sy us all because we work for a circus. Two words Mr bartender, not merry Christmas. We will never darken your place again.

fwiw i think anyone who has a story like this and feels comfortable should absolutely share it bc until about 3 years ago i had never--and i mean EVER--heard of anyone receiving sedation or pain relief for an IUD insertion and i would have absolutely asked for that if i had only known
maggieastor.bsky.social Maggie Astor @maggieastor.bsky.social · Apr 11
Feels a little overshare-y, but fuck it: Eight years ago I had an excruciating IUD insertion. Today I had to get that IUD removed and replaced, and I somehow found a doctor willing to do it under sedation, and oh my god 10/10 it's a crime that this option is so hard to come by. It's a goddamn crime.
