three days after I got this assigned (about a musician I love, done by a writer I admire), I experienced a sudden, unexpected, and very close death in my life, so having this piece to work on was kind of like having a grief guide to hang out with :) www.vulture.com/article/ben-...

"As a journalist who writes often about aviation safety, I'm acutely aware of just how real and widespread deadly air crashes are. What if, for once, the extravagance of Fielder's solutions matched the scale of the problem?" from @jeffwise.bsky.social www.vulture.com/article/nath...

Vulture@vulture.com · 2y agoIntroducing @nymag.com's “Reasons to Love New York” issue, featuring 60 past and present cast members of SNL on a cover so stuffed with stars that we had to expand it into the first five-panel fold-out cover in the magazine’s history. ❤️ #RTLSNL

Hershal Pandya@hershalpandya.bsky.social · 2y agoWhy did Hulu wait until the stand-up market was more saturated than ever to get into original stand-up? I was curious, so I asked them. www.vulture.com/article/hulu...
I watch this when someone points out a typo in a feature I edited
"It’s one of those things we debate: Do you have to suffer for your art? Do you have to be miserable? Do you have to have someone like J.K. Simmons on your back all the time in order to be great?" @hershalpandya.bsky.social + James Acaster: www.vulture.com/article/jame...

Disruptive audiences nearly drove James Acaster from stand-up. Instead, he decided to embrace the hecklers.
