Today, Paste Magazine shuttered all its non-music verticals, a choice I am both professionally and personally heartbroken about. Sadly, I am once again looking for a place that wants to let me write about Books and TV on the regular, so hit me up if that’s you or anyone you know.

A planned Larry Summers event on Wednesday at the Economic Club of NY has been "postponed until further notice," the club tells me. Summers is under scrutiny for his appearance in Jeffrey Epstein's emails. He was to appear with former CEA Chair Glenn Hubbard.
