Guess what? I collected those crazy lists I do for New York magazine and Vulture into a book. Such a fun process, and now it's available on Amazon, the Apple Store, you name it.
If you like my stuff would you mind sharing this?

I am no more confident about game 5 than I was about games 3 and 4. But I knew when the series returned to Wrigley that things could change pretty quickly. And now anything can happen. #GoCubs!

This is journalist Karen Attiah, the only Black opinion columnist at the Washington Post. She was just fired for sharing a statement made by Charlie Kirk insulting Black women.
RETWEET if you stand with @KarenAttiah!
Austin TX South Terminal 2/ 23 9AM Allegiant flight 442 to Des Moines. Going thru TSA I was told by the TSA agent to remove my fleece. I was humiliated as I had a recent double mastectomy to be standing in my flimsy tank top exposing my scars to all. no men asked to do the same.

I have more than 20 years of editing experience with @chicagotribune. The company wants the power to replace me with A.I. As a union member and as a journalist, I know that won’t work. Journalism needs human beings, not bots, to create thoughtful and fair coverage.
