You know what? Shoutout to Terry for calling these refs out tonight. Turning on his own kind for the greater good.

Watching Nebraska vs Iowa and I have to say that Iowa deciding to have a running back as a quarterback would have backfired if Nebraska didn’t counter by having a guy who can’t even run (injury) as their own QB

I think plenty of it speaks to the state of the media, but an obvious one is that Vox and Vanity Fair barely investigated her and that she managed to commit an unforgivable journalistic crime before getting a book deal and walking into another prestige job, while plenty of others are being laid off
you know, what if they aren't actually a commentary on journalism or the state of media. what if these people are just extremely weird

Wild that the guy who comes off as the biggest loser in all of this is trying to get jokes off. It’s one thing to be involved in a scandal, especially when you were dating a 21 year old while in your 50s, but it’s even more embarrassing that you’re just a footnote in the more interesting story.
Well if YOU'd been fired nine years ago by the New Yorker for unethical stuff, you would never ask yourself the question

Starting a book club in January if anyone wants to join. We will meet in NYC but it will live beyond the physical element.

yeah it’s bad that Lizza has been sitting on this for so long but also how cursory and inept was that Vox investigation that not only managed to miss the biggest scandal in the history of American political journalism but affirmatively exonerated her bsky.app/profile/bkel...
So the editor of New York Magazine said there was no bias or ethical problems with Olivia's articles?
Does he still think that?
They should retract all of her stories

Kind of fitting for their romance that Lizza and Nuzzi are self-destructing together. Our own age gap and journalistically immoral Wuthering Heights.

I make sure not to write about sports as much anymore because the second you do, everyone in the literary world designates you as the sports guy who has to only write about sports. Similar to the second you write anything about your identity as a non-white person (and often even if you don’t).

Won’t die but I’ll live on it. I gave them an honest listen because so many people were into them, and the music was bad. Which is fine. But they’re just not good.

They’re awful. I said it on Twitter and people were like “you just don’t get it” while praising that dude’s voice like it doesn’t sound like a goose being strangled. It’s like everyone’s doing it ironically.
A lot of people whose music taste overlaps with mine love this band, so I keep trying, and I just cannot get into them.
Everyone I know who is into Geese has just fallen down the rabbit hole with their obsession and I think its beautiful that every new generation gets their own Pavement
