Private equity has yet to find a beautiful thing it doesn't want to drown. The AV Club was so, so, so good a few short years ago. The TV recaps alone made it a must visit. The For Our Consideration essays were always thoughtful. The good Internet is dead and never coming back.
I'm getting asked a lot about this, b/c of my SI history. So I'll answer: It sucks. It fucking sucks. SI was the land of legends. Deford and Jenkins and Hoffer and Rushin. Of the greatest sports writers of the past century. But this is what we've done [1]

In 1922, a group of scientists went to the Toronto General Hospital where diabetic children were kept in wards, often 50 or more at a time. Most of them were comatose and dying from diabetic ketoacidosis. These children were essentially in their death beds, awaiting what was at…
"People want news, not opinion." News publishers hear this a lot. But we know it's not true. 🧵
Pale Blue Dot is a photo of Earth that was taken by the Voyager 1 space probe in 1990 from a distance of about 6 billion kilometers (3.7 billion miles) as it was leaving our solar system. This is what Carl Sagan said about the photo: "Look again at that dot. That's here. That's…
Taylor Swift’s Toronto concerts reveal bad World Cup deal for Toronto. The FIFA World Cup is expected to generate $307 million in GDP at a cost of $300 million to taxpayers. But the revenue is not going to the City of Toronto’s coffers, which will lose millions from subsidizing…
Deleted the tweet about consequence paying me $100 to interview mick jagger, but let it be said that’s how much I got to interview one of the biggest names in music. If that doesn’t speak to the bleak state of music writing in 2023 then I don’t know what does!
Fox News tried to do a bunch of scary man-on-the-street interviews about crime. It didn't go well.
Wow. Had no idea.
Overwhelmed by the response to this so far. Thanks everyone who's gotten in touch. We're looking for a couple of regular Billboard Canada contributors: a francophone writer/translator and a contributing music writer. Postings: tinyurl.com/3u8zdvup tinyurl.com/23cskad6

Today might have seen the biggest physics discovery of my lifetime. I don't think people fully grasp the implications of an ambient temperature / pressure superconductor. Here's how it could totally change our lives.
I've done a lot of stupid shit in my life but I never rebranded my social media app as "X" without first making sure that Mark Zuckerberg didn't already hold the trademark
When a private citizen can pay $44 billion for a media company — “the world’s town square” — and both crash the civility of the discourse and incinerate 17 years of brand equity within 10 months …. we have too much concentration of wealth in the hands of too few.
This quote, from the @nytimes review of the OPPENHEIMER film: "He served as director of a clandestine weapons lab built in a near-desolate stretch of Los Alamos, in New Mexico"... It was inhabited by Hispanos. They were given less than 24 hr to leave. Their farms bulldozed. 1
This has been such a whirlwind year for me and this season of touring has been no different, it's shaping up to be one of my most successful ones ever! But with that said, I'm disturbed by the new normal that is developing in the touring world and I want to talk about it 🧵1/23
NOW’s slow demise was very different than the swift execution we experienced at Eye Weekly/The Grid, but this story will induce painful pangs of recognition in anyone who’s had to work in media under a “do more with less” dictum.

What happens when the news industry is gutted? Important stories go unreported. So we try to fill in the gaps. Like the mystery brain disease in New Brunswick. It's worse than you were told. 1/x 🧵

Journo students — you could spend an hour trawling the internet for story ideas. Or you could spend that same hour talking with a community member and leave with 5+ banger story ideas that no one else has and a new source for life. Try it. Trust me.

This won't play well in the Leafs organization, where respect in the handshake line is the most important thing there is.

@Danwinnik34 @MapleLeafs Dan, they've given us zero reason to believe they're capable. I want to believe, we all do. But we've been down this road so many times with this group. If they want us to change how we feel then that's up to them. Give us a reason to have faith in what they're capable of.

FWIW, I pitched multiple publications to let me cover the Thug trial because it's clearly a grotesque symbol of all the overbooking, 1st Amendment violations, & zealous hysteria that defines the persecution of rappers. But every one of them lacked the budget. Journalism.
