Y'all know I can never resist the siren call of mess 😈 I'll be recapping #TheUltimatium Season 3 for @vulture Get ready, because this one is truly some of the most harrowing reality dating TV I have ever seen
My dear 8-year-old friend Aedrik, who is undergoing chemo ahead of a stem-cell transplant to save his life, has a goal of 1,000 subscribers on his YouTube (mostly Roblox videos). That’s right, you can make a sick child happy by pressing a single button. youtube.com/@ihavebigmoney
Joe Manganiello and his golden deal-making phone sent the Deal or No Deal Island crew on a “twisted treasure hunt” this week, and I can't decide if I'm all-in on C.K. yet, but she's definitely climbing my #DONDI power rankings! Recap live @vulture vulture.com/article/deal-o…
One of the most impactful pieces of journalism I’ve read this year:
We asked people who lived in homeless encampments that were cleared out in city “sweeps” to write about what object was the hardest for them to lose. “They took my baby pictures and my moms obituaries,” a 29-year-old in California wrote. propub.li/3VVlbGc
For @vulture, I wrote about the art of the stealth Christmas movie, and why Babygirl is the best of the year! 🎄🥂 God bless us, everyone. vulture.com/article/babygi…

Love to go home for Christmas and see the neighbors embrace the true purpose of the holiday: teaming up to assemble a small village of inflatable lawn ornaments
We all knew J.R. was going to have a rough time during that #TheUltimatum reunion, but wheeeeew, it was even worse than I expected! Recap here @vulture vulture.com/article/the-ul…
Jennifer Love Hewitt's Lifetime Christmas movie is all about processing grief during the holidays, and in it truly had me in tears. It was a pleasure to speak with her for @vulture about how her mother inspired the film, why she chose to direct, and more vulture.com/article/jennif…
This week's #TheUltimatum episodes feature a tattoo-based self-own so sublime, so serendipitously sad, it's enough to make you wonder if was intentional. Join me in unpacking the chaos over at @vulture vulture.com/article/the-ul…
A hospital intake form that asks, "If your surgery might take longer than your insurance will cover, would you like us to rush through it and see what happens?"
Blue Cross Blue Shield will no longer cover anesthesia for the full length of certain surgeries in Connecticut, New York, and Missouri. If a surgery exceeds a specific duration, anesthesia costs for the additional time will not be covered.
Rather than avoid climate, Dems looking to prove they’re on the side of the people over the elites should shout with one voice every time a community is hit by pollution or climate disaster or insurance rate hikes: “Look what these fossil fuel fat cats are doing to you!"
