@pattymo A person familiar with the half-sister who requested anonymity in order to speak freely said that she has been very nasty and unfair and looked frankly disgusting at Tanya Robert’s 35th birthday bash

QuizzicalJeffrey: 🙏Amen. The greatest organ, is the family. And true success, is family.
@david_j_roth@Ugarles This shit is also all just post-Trump Republicanism! They all pretend they hate foreign wars and attack Woke Capitalism! (The claim that he meaningfully addressed inequality is beneath mention.)
@jeremypgordon My college town had two competing alt-weeklies! I started in journalism with an internship turned freelance gig at one of them, and while the pay sucked, it was no worse (this was in 2007) than what you’d get per word at a lot of national pubs today
