dear josh,

i love you and i love this and i would be happy for your bias to replace the NY Times' current one.

some specific things i love about this dispatch:

-- "There is no partner track for love."

-- "YOUR HEART IS ALWAYS ON THE JOB SEARCH IF YOU LET IT BE!"

-- the rest of it

love you bud!

As usual, great piece (stack?). Two comments from me: 1. I noticed NYT bias & dog whistling during BLM protests & it’s been annoying me since. 2. Almost perfect Glengarry Glen Ross reference except Baldwin says, “1st prize is a Cadillac El Dorado. ...2nd prize is a set of steak knives. 3rd prize is you’re fired.” Maybe people who care about our super power standing want the caddy?

While I don’t think I need a creative’s political beliefs to fully align with my own (extreme hateful views obv excepted) it’s always nice when someone whose work you love is also on the right side of history in regards to things like trans rights. Thank you for being vocally supportive of causes like that, makes me a bit more hopeful for the future (and present) of my trans friends and family. And then to top it off with an M.O.P. song?? The perfect amount of icing on an already delicious cake.

You are lovely (and also jaunty) and it was like finding a glace cherry in the center of a loveliness cupcake to find a sick John Lennon burn in the middle of all the pep. Excelsior!
