For six years, online sleuths tried and failed to identify an animated character who appeared on TV in the background of an old photo. “There is something about the little guy that burrows his way into the brain,” @WillSloanEsq writes. https://t.co/4s4J7s3vFF — PolitiTweet.org

“Employee morale at the Times is at a nadir,” @ClareMalone writes. After two years of union negotiations, 77 per cent of the bargaining unit signed on for a walkout—the newspaper’s longest work stoppage since 1978. https://t.co/FQgUn120qa — PolitiTweet.org

Fiona Apple describes the feeling of finding the right lyrics for a song as having the words “glide down the back of my throat.” She writes the alphabet above her drafts, searching, with puzzle-solver focus, for puns, rhymes, and accidental insights. https://t.co/AFGH21O06E — PolitiTweet.org

“ ‘Kiss of the Spider Woman’ feels timeless, or perhaps newly relevant again and again,” @parabasis writes. It’s the only book of the Argentinean writer Manuel Puig’s that remains steadily in print in English. https://t.co/Keg3SMkHOj — PolitiTweet.org

“May 7: [At the ballet with Louise.] Is it my imagination, or does the audience seem less gay than it did back in the late 70s? Are that many of us dead already?” Read the novelist Thomas Mallon’s diaries from the 1980s. https://t.co/M6w04VHfmd — PolitiTweet.org

James Acaster isn’t afraid of vulnerability. His work engages the audience’s sympathy but never relies upon it. In a new interview, he opens up about returning to standup, making music, and listening to his audience. https://t.co/cgu47A1Rv4 — PolitiTweet.org

Donald Trump is doing more damage with his self-sabotage than any opponents could hope to inflict on him right now, @sbg1 writes. “Has there ever been a more awful start to a campaign?” https://t.co/bYxgsKU95B — PolitiTweet.org

The musical “KPOP” showcases a variety of modern music—emo meditations, house-inflected bangers, rap arias that transition quickly into dance music and reggaetón—but the through line is a certain audience-courting intensity. https://t.co/r1VKt6MZsz — PolitiTweet.org

On this day in 1936, King Edward VIII abdicated the throne in order to marry his lover, Wallis Simpson. Revisit Robert Benchley on the public anticipation and the press’s chase for the “greatest news story of our time.” https://t.co/S0fi20xwIw — PolitiTweet.org

From 2017: There is a hidden system by which guardians can seize control of the lives of senior citizens—without the consent of the elders or their families—and reap a significant profit. https://t.co/67IuXjPSbs — PolitiTweet.org

It takes a village to raise a child. It also takes a village to move the big rocks to Easter Island, to satisfy Oglo the Hungry Giant, and to host the Olympics. https://t.co/cd0EGbAvT6 — PolitiTweet.org

Most nursing homes devote themselves to the narrow and perfectly reasonable goal of keeping residents safe and healthy. The Village Landais contemplates a broader question: What might a good life with Alzheimer’s look like? https://t.co/pPYTR7S7qm — PolitiTweet.org

Marion Ettlinger—who took author photos for writers such as Truman Capote, Cormac McCarthy, and Patricia Highsmith—has gathered enough great stories on assignment to fill a book of her own. https://t.co/14Pj6jVJfu — PolitiTweet.org
