Ah, the accusatory “we,” where rather than describing something the author and others do, it means “you,” and it is meant to describe something others, but certainly not the author, do, which is implied to be wrong or unreasonable.
When a cancelled performer reënters the culture, we expect them to offer us a great work, channelling their newfound clarity into the finest art they’ve ever made. With his new comedy show and début novel, has Louis C.K. met the bar?

Hamilton’s revamped arena, TD Coliseum, officially opens this Friday with Paul McCartney, but they’re doing a preview show tonight w/ Earth Wind & Fire, and the opening act is a cover band made up of construction workers, so the first people to play the joint are dudes who built it.
