💯 - best in the biz. here’s my Breen profile from 2016 www.theringer.com/2016/06/08/n...

If you thought social media had scrambled America’s CEOs just wait until they’re fully cooked by AI apple.news/AJ_ht7MMyT9G...

A new coach, new roster, new president, new general manager: After last season changed everything for the Fever, they leaned into that over the winter and changed even more. This month’s cover story is on the plans to win now in Indianapolis ✨ www.si.com/wnba/theres-...

Costco Connection is hiring an editor (in Washington state): www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/42...

this sucks for the local economy but i can’t say i’m bummed about having fewer tourists to navigate around

Melody Beattie's book, "Codependent No More," influenced the way Americans view relationships. Her work has changed the lives of millions of people, including mine. Melody died earlier this year, and The Cut allowed me to profile her and her legacy. Please read here: www.thecut.com/article/melo...

In Vietnam, the war is called "the American War." The Verge's package commemorating the 50th anniversary of the fall of Saigon is now fully live: www.theverge.com/cs/features/...

rice is one of those places i (wrongly) assumed would live forever. we used to have it soooooo good

i also grew up idolizing indie labels (and was lucky to work at two before eventually leaving the industry); loved this piece, which made me feel nostalgic for an era that is squarely in the past and happy that some are still trying to champion independent music however they can

Hell of a story here: To "reach legion-level before the apocalypse,” Musk has used his wealth to bully and buy the silence of women who have his kids

I wrote about those TikToks from Chinese factories that claim to "cut out the middleman" for Lululemon, Birkenstocks, and more. They're designed to entice US shoppers who are nervous about tariffs and used to low prices. Most claims are also probably bullshit. www.theverge.com/tech/649049/...

Intrusive Phrase Ranking from Katy Perry Space Flight Coverage: 4) "I feel super connected to love," Perry said of her trip to space. 3) an eagerness to bring a female finesse to space 2) "It was quiet but also really alive," Sanchez said. 1) Gayle King says Katy Perry sang to the astronauts

i knew @miasato.bsky.social was a real one when, while i was fact-checking one of her stories, she posted this:

what an absolutely perfect time for the company managing my 401(k) to launch a newsletter that includes “market commentary” and money management tips

i grew up without fluorinated water and i do not recommend it!

My new book Mỹ Documents comes out tomorrow! It's a novel about what happens when we ignore the history of Japanese incarceration, the Vietnam War, and migrant detention. Get it wherever you buy books, or listen to the audiobook narrated by Kelly Marie Tran (!!!)

Anyway I’ve never felt smarter for not saving any money at any point in my life

Garden State is one of those rare phenomena where I'm like, "Yeah, I totally can believe that was 20 years ago."

Good morning. I have two big features out today. In the New York Times, I wrote about skateboarding: www.nytimes.com/2025/03/30/s... For the New Yorker, I wrote a heavily reported piece about baseball's persistent issues with elbow injuries: www.newyorker.com/sports/sport... Thanks for reading!

Recently I realized that Smartfood white cheddar popcorn, the snack of snacks, did not taste as good as it used to. Was it me? Please accept my mad investigation into the recipe www.eater.com/24394718/sma...

I wrote about Dean Wade, the undrafted role player who signed a two-way with a rebuilding Cavs team in 2019 and is now an integral part of a contender. "I call him White Blanket," Tristan Thompson said. "White Blanket, you can't score on him." www.cbssports.com/nba/news/the...

As part of our year-long Quarter Century Project (where we look at the most interesting/impt moments for the industries/job functions we cover), @imbeccable.bsky.social went DEEP on how the marketing of Napoleon Dynamite changed the game: www.marketingbrew.com/stories/2025...

read this very smart, very fun story by @imbeccable.bsky.social on how napoleon dynamite took over movie theaters/everyone's hearts way back when! 🦙

I rewatched Napoleon Dynamite a couple of months ago and I have to say it really does hold up. This is a smart story by my friend @imbeccable.bsky.social about how that weird movie took over America and the influence it holds today: www.marketingbrew.com/stories/2025...

In 2004, to promote “Napoleon Dynamite,” Fox Searchlight screened the movie for free hundreds of times, built a social network from scratch, and gave away thousands of Vote for Pedro T-shirts. 21 years later, I spoke to the people behind the campaign: www.marketingbrew.com/stories/2025...
