With the absence of any news to occupy your mind, you probably are wondering what Zach Snyder used to accessorize his dapper suit for the 2023 Hollywood Reporter profile.
And, if you can only remember the top portion of the photo you would be justified in guessing a croquet mallet of course!

As sociologists we have failed to adequately address the absurdity and canon prophesying powers of Max Weber’s full name.

I gave an in-depth interview with my hometown Chicago Tribune about what’s going to happen to NPR and PBS, and how cutting public media is part of a broader anti-democratic ideological project.
