Ah, Oddville. I remembered seeing this back then. Life is funny; wound up interviewing the lead singer, Mike Herrera, two decades later.

I think @dinfontay.com summed up the moral fracture in journalism really well: “I feel cliché referencing George Carlin, but after a week like this what else can you say? There is a big club, and we aren't in it.”
Moral rot in elite journalism is killing the whole field
The Nuzzi/RFK Jr. mess and the revelation of Esptein's journo pals lay bare a profound moral absence at the heart of our free press.

“Consciousness, unprovable by scientific standards, is forever, then, the impossible phantom in the predictable biologic machine, and your every thought a genuine supernatural event. Your every thought is a ghost, dancing.”

Mason Alexander Park should also be considered.
My picks for replacement Goblin King are as follows:

Cate Blanchett
Ncuti Gatwa
Mike Faist
Anya Taylor-Joy
Lee Pace
Cast Janelle Monáe in the sequel.

If not, as long as they don't cast Jared Leto as goblin royalty. If they do, there will be blood in the scuppers.

I love writing op-eds.

@teenvogue.com was my main outlet, but if there are any others (especially independently ran) that are looking for a contributing writer on race, gender, and the economy, I'd love to work with you.
