Friday Night Dinner (Midnight Snack Edition), 5.30.25

This has been the rainiest, coldest May in recent memory, and I fucking LOVE it. I don't want it to get hot; the sunshine is not my friend. I want a spring/summer that feels like autumn. Not one of those autumns where it's regularly 80

Friday Night Dinner, 5.23.25

I got home from Brimfield last Friday and slept for twelve hours. Nothing makes me feel my age quite like trudging around muddy fields all day in the blazing sun. I don't understand how, in my twenties, I did shit like this every weekend on three hours of

'Étoile' S1 hot take: The Palladinos should stop making dance television

Spoilers abound, so read at your own risk! Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino walk the razor's edge between quirky and obnoxious. Even with the beloved "Gilmore Girls," there are moments — "Secrets and Loans," "A Vineyard Valentine," anything involving April — where the scale

Friday Night Dinner, 5.16.25

By the time you're reading this, I'll be on my way back from Brimfield (an outdoor antique flea market) hopefully with a car full of lamps and plant stands. Someone on Instagram called it "Coachella for people over 29 who live in NYC and own

Friday Night Dinner, 5.9.25

The rain has been merciless this week, forcing me to take long, wet walks around the neighborhood followed by nightly baths. I love this time of year when everything is newly green and it feels like something good might possibly happen. My allergies are so bad that every waking moment

Friday Night Dinner, 5.2.25

Do long newsletters feel like homework? Samantha Irby has me worried, so I'm going to try throwing a few short ones into the mix. I can't waste prime "taking my cat outside on a leash" weather with too much yapping, so onto the recommendations!

Friday Night Dinner, 4.25.25

Another bullshit week in suck city. But you know what... the sun is shining, it's warm enough to sit outside with "Notes to John," and the universe has blessed us with a new Palladino show. There are still bright spots even when it's awful.

Friday Night Dinner, 4.18.25

Approximately 10,000 horrible things happened this week, so I asked some friends to send me pictures of their pets as a palate cleanser: Leia uses buttons to communicate and once kicked guests out of her house by repeatedly pressing the "all done" button until they vamoosed. Mouse

Friday Night Dinner, 4.11.25

"Sending emails two Fridays in a row? Is she on a new brain drug?" No, I'm simply using my leisure time wisely to avoid crushing ennui and spiritual vacancy. Whether or not it's working is up for debate, but it's been fun

Friday Night Dinner, 4.4.25

Picture it: you're at my house for Friday night dinner. I've guzzled 1 dirty martini and now we're sitting down to glazed woodcock with a side of truffled goose head. Because I'm just as smart and worldly as the Kennedys, I'

Smooth brain content 🧶

Greetings from hell! My old therapist once told me that I probably have a bleakly accurate outlook on the world, but that being right does nothing to improve my life. I'm trying to remind myself of that as America crumbles under the weight of its collective stupidity. Since
