Albert Brooks was offered roles that went to Tom Hanks, Billy Crystal, Robin Williams, and Steve Martin. He turned them all down and reshaped American entertainment his own way. https://t.co/yp5TangR97

This is such a perceptive, lovely profile of Jodie Foster by Jordan Kisner. It includes: sneaker shopping, a great interview with Mel Gibson, and so much fascinating insight into Foster's very complicated relationship to fame https://t.co/6ZdFfMJDCq

This was extremely difficult reporting and the piece @mikespiesnyc wrote is so powerful, moving, sensitive, and fair. https://t.co/sDa5vcGBkJ

So many unbelievable, damning details about Romney's GOP colleagues in this piece (adapted from @mckaycoppins' incredible book). But this one about the ketchup salmon keeps haunting me https://t.co/yZA18rpmS8

I love this wild, fascinating story by @arielsabar https://t.co/yIVsm0znA9

This is definitely the first Tom Hanks profile I've read to involve local newspaper clippings from the 1930s. It’s also lovely and wise in typical Chris Heath fashion https://t.co/jKNt6zggyx

Hoo boy this essay by Honor Jones is phenomenal. It's also the largest quantity of words I've read since giving birth a few months ago and it made me cry a whole lot https://t.co/xC51J4bnBx

Lowen is one of the best editors and people I've ever worked with. He is a dream colleague. Anyone who hires him is very lucky

Hello friends (and Elon). This is just to say: I've left Slate after what's felt like several meaningful lives. It's a privilege to depart at a time when Slate's future is bright, and I'm excited about the hobbies I'll pick up and lose interest in while figuring out what's next.

This Hannah Giorgis piece is a fascinating look at why there are so few interracial couples on reality TV--and also contains some eye-popping behind-the-scenes details about how Love Is Blind producers ginned up racial tensions https://t.co/UmMRPrBW5D

We're flooding the environment with light and sound, to disastrous effect. @edyong209's cover story on "sensory pollution" is full of beautiful sentences, sharp insights & great photos, especially one displeased turtle that is now burned into my brain https://t.co/gbPYZQ7dGt
