A couple of us at the magazine were just talking about this. Dan wrote funny blogs, yes, but he also literally changed the course of conversation for an American icon.
As @jenniferkates.bsky.social reminds me, it was Dan McQuade who was at Hannibal Burress's October 2014 show at the Troc when he said “You rape women, Bill Cosby,” happened to be recording it, made it go viral, and from then on no one ever could forget or deny who Bill Cosby was.
Hannibal Buress on Bill Cosby: 'You're a Rapist'
Comedian Hannibal Buress called Bill Cosby a rapist in a bit at the Trocadero on Thursday night. Cosby has been accused of sexual assault by multiple women.

So many of these right wing grifters and their wives are failed actors or failed reality TV show stars. Once you start seeing it, you can't stop noticing it. They're people who shamelessly chase the spotlight.

Seriously, @people.com has been meeting the moment better than 90% of publications with direct reporting and crystal clear headlines.
This is a good way for the low-information voters who are usually detached from the news cycle to get turned around.

1) It was. 2) The idea that MLB owners were on the fence about wage suppression until last week is laughable at best.
