For a couple years, I didn’t watch The Pitt out of grief for my mom, who frankly died as a result of the stress of nursing during COVID and holding the hands of people she’d known all her life so they wouldn’t die alone.

I watched the Wizards last night against my beloved Knicks. Somehow the AD trade is typical Wizards bullcrap and also makes a ton of sense?

Bari’s sole, career-defining trick is to repackage bog-standard elite opinion as something “edgy” and “heterodox.”
There is an audience for that product, and the audience has a lot of spare cash. (You will never go broke telling rich people what they want to hear.)
But it’s a NICHE audience.
