Happy 50th to Metropolitan Diary, the section of @nytimes that dares to ask: Is everyone a humor essayist, like, everyone? Delighted to help kick off the celebration. They asked me for some overheard dialogue, they got it. nytimes.com/2026/06/21/nyr…
Love this. I met Kate in 2001, when I almost moved into the haunted loft below hers. 295 Bowery, site of McGurk's Suicide Hall, so named because of all the women who killed themselves there. I buzzed her apt by accident. We chatted about prostitution. NY! newyorker.com/culture/the-we…
Misophonia is a neurophysiological disorder broadly characterized by two things: a severe aversion to sound and a struggle to convince others of the severity of that aversion. For those who meet the criteria for misophonia—an estimated 4.6 per cent of U.S. adults—tapping, clicking, chewing, smacking, slurping and sniffling trigger intense fight-or-flight responses. It is often diagnosed alongside other conditions, such as anxiety, O.C.D, or A.D.H.D, but it still hasn’t been incorporated into the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems with a formal diagnostic code, leaving people who have the condition uncertain about their treatment. “What differentiates misophonia from simply being alive is that it’s not just about sound. It’s about how certain brains process that sound,” Sloane Crosley writes. Crosley herself has long suspected that she has some degree of misophonia. She investigates the condition, those who suffer from it, and the experts who study it—from a friend who can’t dine with his father without wanting to “rip his face off” to the founder of Duke University’s Center for Misophonia and Emotion Regulation: newyorkermag.visitlink.me/JJkYqo

Ever want to know what your kids are thinking without having to ask them or having to have kids at all? Then talk to @ModernLibrary and see if Katherine Mansfield is right for you! Here's my introduction to her collected stories, out now: lithub.com/a-childs-world…
My story on misophonia, or "hatred of sound," is in this week's @NewYorker. If you must read it, please read it in silence: newyorker.com/magazine/2026/…
Being a New Yorker about what you tell people. I was born here and have lived within a 25 mile radius of here my whole life. So if I'm in a foreign country? "New York." If I'm talking to someone who saw Curtis Sliwa spray-paint a live rat on their way to Spence? "White Plains."
@xlorentzen "Oh, you mean Glimmer Train North?" is the funniest thing you ever said to me
In 'Grief Is for People' by Sloane Crosley, essayist Crosley searches for meaning through philosophy, art, and the disorienting work of mourning someone who chose to leave after losing her closest friend to suicide. #BookOfTheDay: on.nypl.org/498vKMW
I come on here for the first time this year and THIS is what burns my eyes? Yes, I remember this palace where the nerves of everyone I know ran through the walls. You could actually eat the hollandaise. I puked in the bathroom. Though not from that. This has been my aughts essay.
Anybody remember Coffee Shop at Union Square, circa 2018?
Every one of these is funnier than the last, each for a different reason. I just followed through on mine: interviewmagazine.com/culture/whats-… @InterviewMag
