Here's my review of You Can See Everything, which is a journalistic masterpiece. www.sfgate.com/sf-culture/a...

Forget the Oscars, give 'You Can See Everything' a Pulitzer
As bizarre as it is, the film is an incredible piece of journalism.

honored that my Legend review made @drewmagary.bsky.social's "what makes a good critic" blog defector.com/what-makes-a...
That’s what makes a good critic. A good critic doesn’t just recommend a work, but illuminates it. Deepens it. Before reading this Pitchfork retrospective of Bob Marley’s Legend compilation, I didn’t know that greatest hits album was explicitly curated to sell to white audiences (mission accomplished). And this week, I checked out the site’s revisit of U2’s Pop, the album that represents the last time that band actually tried, where I learned about a cutting room track called “Holy Joe” that I ended up really liking, a song that was perhaps the best indicator of where U2 could have gone post-Pop instead of where they did go. These were not reviews that were seemingly engineered to be hate-read. They were just great reads, from critics who knew their shit.

The Eagles announce Jalen Hurts is OUT Sunday against Carolina with a blood clot. And, Whoa. Whatever could go wrong, is going on in Philadelphia right now, but the biggest picture read and concern from this has to be for Jalen Hurts’ long-term health.

We have a verdict in the Tyreek Hill civil trial. It's mixed. The Miami jury found Hill liable tonight of two counts of battery. He was found not liable on six other counts of battery and assault. The jury awarded Lakeeta Vaccaro $500,000 in compensatory damages. Fuller story TK.

I thought I had at least passing familiarity with conspiracy theories until the man sitting next to me at the Lebanon, OH Skyline told me “space ain’t real.” “What do you think is between us and the moon?” an employee asked. The man seemed to think about this for a moment. “The moon…is with us.”
