A Pennsylvania man earned VIP status at FanDuel by wagering large sums on sports bets. He developed a ruinous gambling addiction. The company rewarded him with enviable perks — champagne, Super Bowl tickets and, we found, a personal video from Phillies star Bryce Harper.

American Airlines will sell you a $1,000 bus ride. It just hopes you don’t buy it.
The trip from Wilmington to Philadelphia shows up like a flight, costs 50 times more than Greyhound, and is apparently priced to scare you off.

Some personal news! I am in the Epstein emails (sort of)!!! In February 2019, Epstein emailed a column that I wrote about him, Trump and Trump's pal Robert Kraft to his "journalist" friend Michael Wolff. Why would he do this? I have no earthly idea. Should I be flattered?

One of the perils of the new media landscape is bosses thinking "The only way to Save Media is to double down on content I personally like and want to do anyway" but I am built different and know that readers yearn for in-depth media criticism about local magazines from @zoegberg.bsky.social.

The Philadelphia Art Museum rebrand surprised locals and board members. Is it as bad as some say?
A beer hall? Soccer team? The Art Museum's new logo and name are drawing fire. But the real test will be whether or not the redesign brings in crowds and raises money.
