Ps here’s the excellent Brutal Marriage Story we talk about at the beginning of our chat. Never actually aired on the SNL broadcast, but in a world where we watch SNL on Twitter and YouTube, that doesn’t matter. Really great. https://t.co/PkFcvI9WLF — PolitiTweet.org

Boo! SNL’s Heidi Gardner visited me and @_JelaniCarter in the studio and told us about her unusual path into comedy (spoiler: it starts with hair styling). Listener feedback this am: “made me a fan”. https://t.co/etmOxxlgM4 https://t.co/NWJWoNllot — PolitiTweet.org

This story is interesting bc of the facts in the story but also bc of the fact *of* the story: A company that never leaked is now leaking again, presumably bc of continued (internal) anger about Chapelle. — PolitiTweet.org

Always interesting to see what stuff interviewees don’t want to say on the record because it will upset their boss, vs stuff they don’t want to say bc it will upset their employees. — PolitiTweet.org

@cwarzel I remember that BuzzFeed had a really good newsletter dedicated to explaining what that alternative reality looked like, so the rest of us didn’t have spend time spelunking in it. Must have been exhausting to write. — PolitiTweet.org

@ShiraOvide Also that the pajama sellers, unlike big brands that can be shamed/pressured into turning off Facebook ads for a minute, really rely on FB and IG. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@cwarzel I mean, many of the stories are about FB’s complicity in January 6, so that’s a non-starter. And several are about things happening to non-white people who don’t live in the US, so ditto. Instagram is Bad For Teens could work but would require effort. — PolitiTweet.org
