Today I learned there is such a thing as National Boss's Day, and that allegedly it is this Thursday and I SWEAR TO GOD that if I find out any of you have participated in such a craven act of subservience to the ownership caste I will find you and give you SUCH a noogie

Most "classics" are boring as fuck to a modern reader in no small part because the context of the story is not understood by them and so many of the allusions and "inside jokes" known to then-contemporary readers have been lost in time and in translation
Tell me your most unhinged literary opinion, as a little treat

It takes longer to taxi to the gate at ORD than it took to fly here from Cedar Rapids, this comment is only a slight exaggeration from the truth

As a writer, never underestimate the value of a good night's sleep. You might write something you think is amazing in a coffee-infused haze. But if you sleep on it and come back to your work fresh, you might notice a few issues you didn't see before.

I support the right of readers to give books they don't like low ratings but I honestly don't understand the "this is the fifth book I've read by [author] and I haven't liked any of them," sort of review, my sibling in Christ, stop reading that author, they're just not for you and will never be

Trying to imagine a scenario where a Black journalist commits a cardinal journalistic sin of having an affair with a subject they’re covering, and the person they’re covering is running for president, and that journalist gets an editor job a year later and LOL of course that wouldn’t happen.
Olivia Nuzzi back at Vanity Fair is an excellent encapsulation of the current state of the press, complete with the journomerta coverage as if she was out for a speeding ticket or a bad post instead of an incredibly gross undisclosed affair with her subject

Some news: yesterday was my last at Rolling Stone. For now, I'm going solo, doing all my TV reviewing, recapping, etc., at my newsletter. I hope you'll consider subscribing. Many more details here:

Star Wars totally fails to live up to its title. Not one star fires a single shot. And don't come at me with that "Death Star" shit - despite what anyone says, that's at best a moon.

You’re going to get a lot of rejections and agents will ignore your emails and there will be naysayers around every corner and you’ll get 1-star reviews that are attacks instead of reviews. None of that matters. Keep going. Stay focused. Put in the work. Don’t quit. Go write.
