Sports are so good when you don’t care who wins. Just going “damn that’s crazy” every single play.

Ok sure

When a cancelled performer reënters the culture, we expect them to offer us a great work, channelling their newfound clarity into the finest art they’ve ever made. With his new comedy show and début novel, has Louis C.K. met the bar?

Louis C.K.’s Next Chapter
In a new standup special, and a début novel, the comedian navigates murky, post-#MeToo terrain: not quite exiled, not quite welcomed back.

THIS IS THE SAME SKETCH ARTIST WHO JUST DREW HER FOR VANITY FAIR THIS WEEK BY THE WAY

This is a lot, but (allegedly) Olivia Nuzzi sent a secret recorder with a sketch artist to tape Trump at Mar-a-Lago so she could feed campaign intel to RFK, where [pauses to take a breath] something Trump said about his assassination attempt “would shatter our understanding of recent history”??

occurred to me that I just turned 39, meaning I am the same age Keith Olbermann was when Olivia Nuzzi was born. just leaving that thought out there

*football chant voice* ERE WE GO, ERE WE GO, ERE WE GO
If you are new to this series, read Part 1 here and Part 2 here. I know Part 2 was a lot—reliving that chapter was a lot for me, too. I asked you to hold me accountable for my tone in these dispatches, and I meant it. Some of you thought I included too much that was personal. I read every comment, and I take your feedback seriously. I’m grateful to have such a smart, engaged, and empathetic audience. For now, I will just say that you have to know those details, as salacious as they are, to truly understand this story, which, some of you might be disappointed to learn, is ultimately not about sex. So stick with me here. We haven’t reached the halfway point, and I haven’t yet described the most bizarre, consequential, and newsworthy events. One night in early August 2024, before I knew anything, Olivia Nuzzi became obsessed with obtaining an advance copy of an article that The New Yorker was set to publish the following day. Olivia was desperate to get a preview of a profile of Bobby Kennedy Jr. by Clare Malone, a political reporter whom Olivia viewed as a competitor. The piece included a killer anecdote, one of the most memorable of the presidential campaign, and which would come to define Bobby’s image for much of the public: A decade earlier, he had left the carcass of a black-bear cub in Central Park as some kind of twisted prank. This was precisely the sort of story that Olivia relished, a Twin Peaks-like tale that illuminated the darker parts of a candidate’s mind. Olivia had written one of the earliest profiles of Bobby, so I figured her fixation on getting The New Yorker piece was also about professional jealousy. Bobby was her subject. Now she had missed a major scoop about the candidate whom, behind the scenes and without much explanation, she insisted would be the next president. What I didn’t know at the time was that she was secretly working to help make Bobby the next president

This is among the funniest things I have read all year and I laughed out loud several times. Highly, highly recommended. It reminded me of the best days of Deadspin.

I will say though - there is a terrific podcast about Jar Jar Binks I listened to a while back and this seems as good a time as any to recommend it:

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate.

all those moments will be lost in time. like tears in rain.
