I had an editor tease me for referring to the letterer by name in a note on a script before we had hired him or even talked about it.
It was something like “TAYLOR give me some kind of radio effect here.”

Comics writers and artists — please request your favorite colorists and letterers when working on a new project with a publisher. Can’t hurt to ask. (And if you don’t really care who letters/colors your work…that’s disappointing on a lot of levels.)

So, like, this isn’t even my rant.
This is just, like, what is true. The annual salary of approximately 1,500 faculty members is caught up in buyout/guarantee money for two football coaches. This is happening in the midst of hiring freezes and dramatic budget cuts in academic units. It’s just true.

LSU is paying its previous football coach over $50 million NOT to coach there while likely guaranteeing Kiffin something approaching double that, all while having an academic hiring freeze and budget cuts across the board. What is the purpose of a university (rhetorical)?
SOURCES: Lane Kiffin is expected to accept LSU's offer to become the Tigers next head coach. Kiffin is set to meet with his Ole Miss team this morning at 9 AM CT. As we reported yesterday morning, LSU has been very confident it was going to land Kiffin. www.nytimes.com/athletic/684...

I agree with Ryan Grim here, but I'm pretty sure I'm applying a VERY different and specific definition of "bottom" and "top" here.
Trump is a bossy bottom and always has been. The world is on fire largely because Vladimir Putin figured that out long before any American politician did.

the takeaway from the Zohran Trump meeting is that Trump is a gullible fool who will temporarily bend to the last charismatic person he talked to.
Zohran played him perfectly but that doesn’t mean Trump is good now. He’ll go back to fascism tomorrow morning after he talks to Stephen Miller

The Washington Post doesn’t exist anymore. An undead creature is wearing its skin, and may appear similar at first glance, but don’t be fooled. The Washington Post that you valued is dead, and has been decaying for some time. I’m sorry.
