takes a special kind of media company to lose Wesley Morris AND Trent Dilfer
Add to JVG, McShay, and everybody else who got laid off by ESPN today to this list. Find me a media company that lost this much talent in a decade.

"You spend dozens of hours in a room with someone and they, in a way, become less clear." Fascinating convo between @magiciansbook and @mrkocnnll about Mark's spellbinding new book A THREAD OF VIOLENCE

A conversation about murder, justice, and the human desire for a story that makes sense of it all.

really lovely @BernsteinJacob report from Larry Kramer's memorial service. Kushner: "I loved him, but I also didn’t."
nytimes.com
Tony Kushner and Anthony Fauci were among the speakers who fondly described difficult moments with the irascible writer and activist.

Happy US pub day to @mrkocnnll, whose fascinating, funny book A THREAD OF VIOLENCE is both a true crime investigation and an unraveling of the entire idea of true crime as a genre. Read it! Here's his NYT rave
nytimes.com
In “A Thread of Violence,” Mark O’Connell investigates an infamous Irish murder case that eludes explanation, refusing to cohere into a single narrative.

Boy did I love writing this piece. Thanks @nyu_ajo!
The award for Best Media Criticism goes to @dankois for “My PR Day of Yes” in @slate. Judge @ParkerMolloy called the piece “an engaging, well-written piece of service journalism, offering readers a glimpse into the media's inner workings.” https://t.co/J1N6YwFmFC 17/
