Nothing more painful to read than a self-published book or a book where the publisher doesn’t spring for a seasoned editor and a rigorous editing process. Editors ✍️ are essential.

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

Where is #GovernorPritzker in all this? I know he’s taking legal action and seeking relief from the court system - but seems like he’s being less confrontational and bellicose? Less in the spotlight? People are being terrorized, rounded up, brutalized now. The courts take time. #Chicago #ICE

Ryan Murphy isn’t the guy to be making that argument. At least not credibly. True crime pays for the champagne on his yacht.

I wrote about how #MonsterTheEdGeinStory comes so so so close to giving us a subversive and compelling argument about American hypocrisy re: true crime. But then it just kept going? @vulture.com:

If they have been de-certified for occupancy and are uninhabitable and likely to collapse, why not then demolished and removed to prevent pollution and debris? #outerbanks #hurricane

All were unoccupied. https://wapo.st/42iGmFE

#BadBunny shouldn’t do it. I respected his decision not to tour here. There should be consequences for this government’s shitty behavior and protection for his fans and football fans.
