I got back from Paris on Monday night and I wasn’t tested/screened/asked a single question about my travel upon re-entry.
Trump claims (falsely) all Americans returning to country are being tested:"We have heavily tested. If an American coming back or anybody coming back, we have a tremendous testing set up where people coming in have to be tested ... if it shows positive ... We have to quarantine."

An SNL associate producer looked down at a sample of Listerine strips, then at the young staffer next to him. “You should put one of those on your vagina,” he told her. “I bet it would feel good.”

For years, @litcapital has kept his identity a secret: disguising his voice on the podcast he co-hosted, restricting phone use at events, hiding his face on Zoom.
But once @BusinessInsider started digging, it didn’t take long to find out his name.

I’ve always said this about my time at (beloved) Vanity Fair: the entire editorial team is like 20 people. For a national magazine whose news vertical is supposed to compete with the NYT, WaPo, WSJ. The disconnect between expectations and resources is insane.
“Everyone has been making do with nothing for years, so for this to happen, it’s like things might just come apart from here,” says @delia_cai about the culling at Condé. “You would be shocked at how few people are holding it up.”

Homans was my boss, mentor, friend. He once told me I was a “young person going places,” the most Homans-y compliment of all. Almost everything I know about editing I learned from him. And I wish there had been time for more
John Homans, who edited features at New York Magazine from 1994 to 2014, died Wednesday night at 62. There was nobody quite like him, writes @heybonanos nym.ag/3fczEpg
