I really appreciated this thoughtful piece about Ta-Nehisi Coates & Ezra Klein. Andrea Pitzer says “lost” folks like Klein “don’t have a clear idea how this moment fits into history and what it is exactly that they’re doing”. [degenerateart.beehiiv.com]

You don’t have to swallow frogs

Klein and Coates show that if you don’t know what your core beliefs are, you’re going to get played.

My 40 hr/week contract job, which was recently reduced to 20 hr/week, is now Zero hr/week due to budget cuts. (Not just me, a whole team.)

If anyone wants to hire the best entertainment writer in the galaxy (me) please be in touch. “I will do dog food commercials!”

I always assumed she’d be fine, sadly (you know how much today’s EICs love a splashy grifter hire), but I’m still pissed about it!

I wrote about the firing of Alan Sepinwall, which is awful. And I tied it into what's happening all over in the media, why it's scary & what we can do to help. I used my words, but it's definitely Hulk Mo dialed up to 11, if that's a thing you would like to experience: www.moryan.com/on-the-firin...

Imagine recruiting Tarantino specifically for his acting skills and then setting his character's intro to Dragula

one thing that's still bugging me about this essay is: you can't talk about the lack of neg music reviews today without talking about the entire state of music journalism, which few outlets are even interested in investing in anymore because it a) doesn't bring in the kind of traffic they expect..

this is a HUGE part of my experience growing up as both a music fan & wanna be music journalist. I saw the women I loved to listen to routinely destroyed in the press by beloved journalists, often, it seemed, for sport. "mean male critic" was a caricature for me, to a point.
