People who own/run news outlets like this think subscribers are like them and don’t care about or know the difference between good & bad writing. They’re not just wrong, they’re fucking wrong. I’m rooting for people who are starting their own thing and have a perspective & know how to use a pen

I learned a lot about writing just by reading Graydon Carter’s intros to each issue. The lede for this issue’s intro piece is, “So, why men?” I have nothing to learn from this publication; no one does.

I have to say I used to *covet* the Hollywood issue as a kid and asked for a vf subscription for Christmas like five years in a row without getting one so subscribing as an adult felt like a true luxury. watching the quality drop so much has frankly been a fucking bummer

“Ms. Weiss, we just learned there’s been a train accident. No telling how many are dead.”
“Ok, listen: Get Chris van allsburg, author and illustrator of polar express, on the phone stat!”
“Right away, ms. Weiss.”
“And one other thing.”
“Yes, ms. Weiss?”
“Do it for the boyz.”

the older I get, it's wild and a bit disturbing to me how things from my childhood are so fresh and basically constants in my brain compared to newer info/memories/etc.
