What I will say about this is, I am sure it seemed very witty and charming in whatever its original context, but putting it in the newspaper was probably a mistake
I thought I knew every horrible thing about this story, but it was not until I read @neerajadeshp's interview with Sabatini that I realized how total his unpersoning was
got my ass (and my little dog, too)
Chat, based on my tweets and the attached photo can you please generate a vintage 1960's movie poster of me?
I was expecting somewhere in eastern Europe but apparently I clocked as Norwegian
First one came out way too Turkish so I deleted and tried to re-roll with a different pic. It has now added a hat 😐
Let’s get this man some recommendations! I’ll start:
- When Harry Met Sally
- The Lady Eve
- Twister
And my husband recommends:
- Field of Dreams
@katrosenfield I need a good pro-hetero movie playlist to show my next girlfriend so I can subliminally convince her into wanting a lifelong hetero-normative relationship.
yeah I did the thing
Reese falls in love with Sarah from a picture of her. Tells her "I always wondered what you were thinking in that moment" and turns out she's mourning his death while carrying their child.
People think this just a dumb action movie and not achingly romantic.

It has come to my attention that a bunch of characters from young adult fiction twitter have become inexplicably outraged by this post and are furiously quote-tweeting it, and, sigh, feels like old times 🥹

A weird thing about watching The Terminator (1984) in 2026 is that the effects hold up quite well but the strikingly tender portrayal of heterosexual relationships feels like something from another world

The explosion of heating oils costs is a huge deal in a state that is not especially wealthy and where 50 percent of homes are still heated by oil. This is going to be really, really hard for a lot of people here.

This crystallized something for me, that people think the great thing about AI is now everyone can live like the archetypal billionaire CEO who e.g. never has to remember his anniversary because his secretary will do it and send flowers
But to most people, this is a bad thing

I don't think it's that hard to figure out why most people do not see huge upside in letting a bot conduct personal email correspondence for them without their active oversight. Most people wanna know what's in their emails to and from their kid's teacher or whatever.

I got really annoyed that so many stories about the "Cornell 7" case don't link to the underlying court documents.
So I compiled the key filings from Jane Doe's civil suit and from a separate suit brought by one of the accused.

@JewsnBasketball Actually yes, it would absolutely solve this issue if women declined to be sexually intimate with men who they think might attack or rape them for saying "no"

It's for people who are not me to decide if it was or wasn't rape. But I for one think the 'she thought it was a bisexual threesome' angle matters, and not at all for that reason.

Women need to understand that your male friends will think of you sexually at times. This is actually not as important of a factor in friendship in the male brain as it is within the normal female conception of "thinking sexually." It is most often simply a lizard brain, subconscious and fairly unpreventable glitch that means little within the friendship itself.

I’m still working on an essay about this but in the meantime it’s always nice to have a new entry on the list of things that prove my point (the fact that said list already had one million items notwithstanding)

this is a nice companion to all of Kat Rosenfield's arguments about cultural power. Here you have an 80-20 issue (probably MORE than 80-20 among readers of the sports page) where a sports columnist taking the 80 side gets his column spiked.
That's real cultural power.
