Don't understand how the Weyes Blood album isn't on all the year-end lists (specifically, in spot 1 or 2) since it's the best piece of art capturing the weirdness of coming out of lockdown and also just really great music. — PolitiTweet.org

I need an intensely detailed deep dive on what sort of meteorological conditions are causing this freakish storm, if anyone has read a good one. — PolitiTweet.org

Says a lot about the Guggenheim that the wonderful Nick Cave exhibit is smushed into three random rooms while the totally mediocre Alex Katz takes up the rotunda. — PolitiTweet.org

@Plathbiography I'm going to miss having this book in my daily life, it was like entering another world. Any time anyone in the past few weeks asked me how I was, I'd say something like "well, it's December 1962 and the winter in London is VERY cold." It was all-consuming, in the best way. — PolitiTweet.org

Red Comet by @Plathbiography is without a doubt the best book I read this year. What a gift the details, depth and writing are, presenting Plath not as barreling inevitably towards her tragic end, but as a woman of so many achievements and feelings and social struggles. — PolitiTweet.org

Amazing how the free speech warriors are, as far as I see, silent on Kanye. Everyone has a line of what's acceptable—it's always a question of where you place it. Discussing that, rather than some absolute free speech ideal, would require revelation of their biases so here we are — PolitiTweet.org

Having logged on to watch SBF at the Dealbook conference, my only question is: does this man, uh, not have a lawyer? — PolitiTweet.org

The Patient Gloria has gotten good reviews in the Times and the New Yorker and I can't express just how much I disliked this play (from its biological essentialism on the content level to its disjointedness structure-wise). Therapy and punk are two of my great loves — and yet! — PolitiTweet.org

This place gave me a lot, and served a huge purpose for a long time. Being mainly off of it is also giving me a lot, and serving its own purpose now. Happy to help anyone through disconnecting. Also, if you have any recs for stellar 1000+ page non-fiction books, I am all ears. — PolitiTweet.org

The main thing you get back is TIME — this site tricks you into thinking you're being productive when often the opposite is true. I've read so many books in the past few months, including (finally) Tony Judt's Postwar and (currently, obsessively) Red Comet, the Sylvia Plath bio. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm lucky to have several healthy group chats, and rely on those to get me the news (and jokes) I need to know (have never had breaking news alerts). Thanks to the people who informed me the Queen had died, and that Dasha from Red Scare might be dating Alex Jones. — PolitiTweet.org

The biggest thing was creating new morning habits — Twitter was my RSS feed. Now I spend like 45 minutes with the NYT and the NYPost (don't judge me). A small handful of newsletters. A couple hours of NPR. — PolitiTweet.org

First is, obviously, take the app off your phone. I then read a few books — How To Break Up With Your Phone is not revolutionary but functioned as a good crutch to get me through. How To Do Nothing was also nice. Found both The Shallows + Amusing Ourselves To Death annoying. — PolitiTweet.org

If you want to jump before the ship sinks, I learned some things while breaking my (decade+ long!) Twitter addiction in June. I now check in about once a week (a bit more when I'm procrastinating...hi). It wasn't easy but also it was — and my life is 10,000 times better. — PolitiTweet.org

The NYT is always on the wrong side of history before it's on the right one, from being against giving women the right to vote to its AIDS coverage and now its fearmongering coverage of trans people. They'll correct eventually but the damage done, to real people, will be huge. — PolitiTweet.org

Gratitude tweet for @WNYC, from where I got 100% of my election info yesterday and this am. I think maybe it's why I (mostly) did not lose my mind! Thank u. — PolitiTweet.org

I've kept quiet but I must weigh in: it's absolutely absurd that it is now standard for celebrities to don 2-3 Halloween costumes each year. This is CHEATING. Choose a personality, choose a vibe. — PolitiTweet.org

The Gen X ruling council has held an emergency meeting and voted to expel Pamela Paul. No coming back from use of "gamine" and "moxie" in particular. Relatedly, being middle aged is awesome (despite/maybe because of? the preponderance of death and accompanying existential crises) — PolitiTweet.org

Coming out of Twitter retirement to share @lpolgreen's important, thoughtful first column. Much to think about here, including the role and biases of foreign reporting https://t.co/ssiOVv5zCj — PolitiTweet.org
