Pre-writing your enemy's obituary in case you go first is top-tier hating
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

Just told my 10yo daughter about #DickCheney. She had tears in her eyes. And then she did the Wakanda pose and said "#Dickanda forever"—which is the sort of pop culture cross-over I can celebrate.

Ex-Partner returns with their debut album Lore-Core, a blitz of textural landscapes crashing into Tony Drent’s fragile, distinctly Aotearoan voice, a union which frequently degenerates into lush, dream-like scenes resembling a Safdie brothers film soundtrack or a lost microgenre of the Bloghouse era
