No one played me in the movie, but Stephen Glass stayed with me in my freshman dorm on a pre-college campus visit. He asked me what I’d written for one of the admissions essays, which asked for page 217 of your autobiography. I told him I’d just made a bunch of stuff up. “Wait, you can do that?”

overwhelming signals that this is 100% a legitimate and successful way to operate in the word right now and we need more people who actually know things to adopt it.

I‘m not dunking on Lizzie, I am sincere. I think the target is very cool. It’s like the nod the bass player gives to the drummer.
