"Author Alice McDermott on linking the dramas of women's lives and wartime Saigon" Alice McDermott was on @npratc. Listen here: npr.org/2023/12/21/122…
A Simile is like a Metaphor that doesn't believe in itself. A Metaphor is a Simile that takes itself too seriously.
Hard Work‼️ Mindset‼️ WATCH what you can do‼️ espn.com/nfl/story/_/id…
What kind of man runs for nine miles in the NFL? @frankgore might be the last running back ever to do so, and now he talks about the secrets of survival and how he might pass them on. A story about the Last Running Back...and the next. espn.com/nfl/story/_/id…

This is remarkable.
Our story “Untold” required so much of so many — from our colleagues at @espn who supported it start to finish to the women who were asked to tell their stories after decades of silence. Thanks to @UT_CSCM for recognizing not only our work but also the testament of those voices.
Make sure to watch “Zero Gravity”, the fascinating new documentary about Wayne Shorter. Airs tonight on Amazon Prime, on Wayne’s 90th birthday! A must see!
The @NFL delivers no end of on-the-field competition. But it's off-the-field NFL action where the real drama and intrigue lives. @SethWickersham's reporting beat is off-the-field NFL action. His copy is must read.
This is a great profile, by a great reporter and writer.

I just finished one of the finest memoirs I’ve ever read, Five Days Gone, by the English art critic @LauraCummingArt I read the hardcover; it was republished in paperback under what I suppose is its original British title, On Chapel Sands. What a beautiful book.
This outrage should absolutely be a national story and a cause for journalistic solidarity. Shame these people … Police stage 'chilling' raid on Kansas newspaper, seizing computers, records and cellphones kansasreflector.com/2023/08/11/pol…
"This impulse – the creative dance – that is now being so cynically undermined, must be defended at all costs, and just as we would fight any existential evil, we should fight it tooth and nail, for we are fighting for the very soul of the world." theredhandfiles.com/chatgpt-making…
Still blows my mind that half of R.E.M. currently plays in a band who only writes songs about baseball, just because it's a lot of fun. I don't think there's a better example of four musicians who decided to stop being rock stars and meant it for real.
Psyched to duet again with Jim Reid, William Reid and the Marychain in London tomorrow💛🎶 Have so missed duetting after the massive shock of losing Mark Lanegan so early last year💧❤️🩹
I am very happy for Susannah and very eager to read this book.

There’s no reason for any media org to report Trump’s fundraising totals from last night without an itemization of every contribution. He’s already perpetuated massive financial fraud schemes and has been lying about the 2020 election for years.
The Clash's 'Lost In The Supermarket’ reimagines the nervous highway thrills of Jonathan Richman's "Roadunner" as a forced march through suburban hellscapes and special offers. Perhaps the finest song ever written about the acute, paradoxical loneliness of the high consumer age.
@CharlesPPierce Yep, and probably a hint of how the immunity case will go. My current guess is they come back with some kind of test and then say Jack Smith didn’t pass it.
I’m sad to learn of my brother’s passing. His stage posture notwithstanding, he was a life enthusiast; a deep lover of music as well as laughter. My heart goes out to his wife Joyce, whom he adored and credited for keeping him on the rails.
Today is the official release of “Breslin: Essential Writings” (edited by me). It’s all here: His classic columns and books about JFK’s gravedigger, Son of Sam, Lennon, AIDS, Watergate, Queens Boulevard, New York City. Breslin set the standard. Read it! Beautiful! Goodbye!

At the risk of sounding like a 700-year-old: I really recommend that any young writer/critic keep at least a small library of music books. Spin Alternative Record Guide, Rolling Stone Record Guide, some essential bios — amazing how vital they remain as online info stays in flux.
genuinely curious how the music canon will change after music criticism moves from blogs to tiktok. like who is going to tell the kids about marquee moon? will the kids ever listen to gang of four?
Old magazine tidbit from this amazing behemoth: Playboy published an interview with Gary Gilmore at 25,000 words, “scared to cut a word” (they scrapped an entire fiction story for more space).

This week, 4 different people contacted me about old magazine stories of mine. A cop I once wrote about, wanting help w/ a memoir; a professor looking into a murder case; a lawyer dissecting junk forensics; a source in a small town I chronicled. I love the afterlives of stories.
