I have not been able to stop thinking about this part of Brian's piece on the Nuzzi affair.
I've edited a few abjectly terrible writers who have nonetheless been published in Forbes, Vulture, et al
It's been clear to me for years that these outlets have editors that sandblast bad writing

Riley’s messaging about trans athletes involves “predatory men” and “sexual assault.”
But there’s an important story multiple ex-teammates at Kentucky want you to know: youtu.be/iKUl8lkuGOc?...

enough of you have provided me with explanations for why people do it that i understand it's a trend. it's a stupid fucking trend. it looks stupid. it makes audio worse. i can't stop the youth and won't try, but if you're a professional, stop doing the AV equivalent of wearing a shoe on your head.
why have reporters, politicians, influencers, etc. all of a sudden seem to have started holding lapel mics to talk into them? it’s a lapel mic, it’s specifically designed to go on your shirt or lapel, you look ridiculous holding it, stop it.

If you're confused about Trump heaping praise on Mandani, please know that Trump famously and paradoxically hates actual in-person confrontation. I know this seems impossible but please know that after he landed on Pence for VP, he still told Christie "there's a chance it might be you still"

Enten: "This is probably the worst 10 day period for the president in the polls his entire second term. The numbers are just atrocious ... when your best poll has you 14 points underwater, you know it's truly bad and it's as bad as 26 points underwater ... -43 with independents! They despise him."
