Had a really good time a few weeks ago on @AppleNews with @shubasu, talking about Dana White, Donald Trump and how the UFC now rules America. (They cut my incoherent rambling about how great it is to punch people in the face but that’s ok.) podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

In 1991, David Lynch showed the world the alienation and innate horror of a dirty street, directing this unforgettable anti-littering ad for the City of New York.
RIP to a visionary filmmaker and a pioneer of the Trash Revolution.

Campaigns are measured by changes in momentum and narrative, and Trump allies I spoke with last week reveled in what felt like a 3-week winning streak.
With Biden appearing to dig in, they left Milwaukee believing that this run of luck might never end.

Listening to @BrianLehrer talking about middle names — I just had a baby, and his name is Dario Rohan. First name bridges his father’s & my cultures: Italian and Iranian. And his middle name is from my Indian side, also my brother’s middle name. We loaded his name with meaning!

I’m taking a few months off from work @AppleNews to fully absorb the fact that I MADE this human! Very grateful to have parental leave, and to have something other than the news keeping me up at night. I’ll be back in the summer! ✌️🥹❤️

So many talented reporters laid off from @TexasTribune —a source I’ve been relying on daily for years even though I’m not a Texas resident. I’m so sorry y’all.
I was laid off by The Texas Tribune yesterday after more than 10 years there — most spent centering communities of color in my reporting.
This is my last story, which was set to run before I was called in. This is the kind of reporting I was doing: texastribune.org/2023/08/24/…

My lack of planning brought me to the darkest possible double feature. The theme: men who should have been stopped. What was I thinking! Six hours later and I don’t have the stamina for a Barbie cleanse! 🤦🏻♀️

It’s not easy to come up with such an honest and elegant way to talk about the challenges of caring for an aging parent, but @sjauhar’s sincerity will stick with you. His book is so worth reading.
You can listen to our convo below: 👇🏽
I spoke about MY FATHER’S BRAIN with @shubasu on the @AppleNews podcast “In Conversation.”
It was a deep and soulful conversation about dementia, caregiving, and writing. TY, Shumita, for a wonderful interview! Please have a listen and share. apple.news/nowPlaying/Amake5…
