Hilarious, if true.

Wow, 25 years since Joe Wood died. I often think of our visits to the Film Forum in the 90s. Great writer @jledbetter @villagevoice @kathsstewart @colsonwhitehead
Today would be a good day for Donald Trump to release his tax returns.
Imagine a television network that might be able to push this discourse. :)
Hasn't penetrated US discourse that the next president of Mexico is likely to be its first woman president, a Jewish woman named Claudia Sheinbaum whose grandparents fled Hitler's armies and who has a PhD in energy engineering and worked for the IPCC. Pretty incredible story!
James Ledbetter retweeted
I’ve seen more posthumous posts on social media about Bill Walton these last 24 than anybody i remember. BW really has Led Zeppelined all fanatics into the Grateful Dead realm in his spirited own way. Wow 🙏🏿
Bill Walton was a national treasure. May he rest in peace.

I got laid off from WIRED yesterday so today I made a terrarium out of an old jar and stuff I found in my yard. Hire me. ✨Your organization could benefit from terrariums and excellent journalism. ✨

Major @BigTechnology News: Three years in, I'm launching a paid tier with deeper coverage and new features. Subscribers get: 1. The Panel: A breaking news email with expert reactions on the most pressing tech news of the moment. This collection of technologists, journalists, analysts, and VCs will share their 1-2 sentence read on big news events and I will compile their answers and send them to you. 2. Big Tech War Stories podcast: Once per month, someone deep inside a Big Tech company will join me on Big Tech War Stories to discuss how they built that product you love, or why their company never shipped it. 3. Big Tech Insider: In addition to my weekly news stories, you will receive a monthly, in-depth column from a Big Tech insider featuring original viewpoints and analysis on how they operate and the story behind what you see in public. Longtime Amazon veteran and author Kristi Coulter will take the helm for the rest of 2023. More here! bigtechnology.com/p/big-technolo…
Wow! Congrats!

Some personal news..this month I become 45th Provost of @Kings_College Cambridge (while still writing columns for the @FT). Exciting and daunting - with an inspirational chapel, students and fellows! Stay tuned…
@EconomyBen @AnnBWhite1 @martinsvillemar So, so sorry Ben
I was also confused by this.
Is there a super-sized unemployment program still running that I have missed? I'm confused what Vivek is talking about when he says we're paying people more to stay at home than to work. What program is doing that?
Will anyone bring up climate change?
James Ledbetter retweeted
Haley is brutally effective at filleting Vivek, but her taking him down again is a little like the Mets celebrating if they knock the Marlins out of the playoffs while they are both 1000 games behind the Braves. #GOPDebate
The idea that a balanced budget amendment actually balances budgets is one of the most enduring lies of modern Republican politics.
James Ledbetter retweeted
I’m now interim Editor in Chief at @Jezebel. I’m a massive fan of this team, am grossly obsessed with the work they do, and still feel honored every time I get to hit publish on one of their stories.

My 9-year-old son refused to believe me when I told him tonight that the internet didn't exist when I was his age.
