The world is terrible so please enjoy these photos of my dog radiating unmitigated joy after fulfilling his lifelong dream of sitting in the back of a parked SUV

[Emmy Jo Favilla @em_dash3]

@wildbirdfund hi! I'm in Ridgewood Queens, and there's an injured pigeon that's been hiding under a car outside my house. If she makes it back to the sidewalk I can try to get her in a hard carrier but I don't think I can make it to WBF before you close—can anyone help transport?

[Emmy Jo Favilla @em_dash3]

@weischoice Not at all! It's super irresponsible to bring an unaltered dog to the dog park — and to not spay/neuter in general, of course

You know an '80s song is going to fuckin ROCK if it opens with a motorcycle engine revving

I am so proud of what this team has accomplished — and how they grew not only the BuzzFeed copydesk but also this newsletter and this account into something equal parts sharp, hilarious, innovative, and immeasurably valuable for writers and journalists across the internet. 😭😭😭

Our last issue of Quibbles & Bits focuses on the “past exonerative tense,” a style of language that absolves anyone of blame. https://t.co/wOmz0PM9g6

the fact that cis straight guys are still so insistent that they have to be muscle hunks to get girls when frankly most women i know want a little elf prince, a depressed middle aged father, or a line cook, is so funny

[Charlie Warzel @cwarzel]

it rules that this is the last frame from his last fox broadcast

[Emmy Jo Favilla @em_dash3]

This is a very, very good piece. (Also, never forget the day Andrew Keegan invited everyone to the bar around the corner and I ate fried alligator with the boy who was plastered on my walls in the 90s.) A very special era indeed

[Charlie Warzel @cwarzel]

I wrote about six amazing, insane years working in the beating heart of the 2010s internet, the two legacies of BuzzFeed News (one is good, one is very sad)...and a whole bunch of wild office interactions like this one https://t.co/JFDjKMUFQW

'twas an honor to continue the legacy of @em_dash3 @meganpaolone 🫡🫡

People like this are what we have instead of Marilyn Manson now.

[kendra @kendrabetes]

Reading @em_dash3’s World Without Whom and I start lol’ing IRL at the list of ways to type laughter, and then Hubs asks ‘What’s so funny’ and now I’m basically in hysterics. Full-on cackling… 😂

[Alexa Phillips @alexacphillips]

What's a book that every writer should read? I'll go first: "On Writing" by Stephen King and "A World Without 'Whom'" by @em_dash3.

[Emmy Jo Favilla @em_dash3]

I just watched Interstellar for the first time and would like to see it reimagined with the Corn Kid popping up at inopportune times

[Brendan Sagalow @BrendanSagalow]

I like the phrase “wherever books are sold!” Because it sounds like the person saying it has no idea how or where to buy a book.

[Emmy Jo Favilla @em_dash3]

I have a serious & important question. Why do people in their 20s always put their age in their social media bios? Like, we get it. You have a youthful, glowing complexion. You don't need to hit us over the head with the fact that you're still vibrant and full of zest. Rude tbh
