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...

Just spotlighting this incredible quote from my interview with Diane Morgan about the new Netflix special "Cunk on Life," where, for a moment, she completely became Philomena Cunk: "There’s really no point trying to retain any kind of information." www.vulture.com/article/dian...

Philomena Cunk Is Diane Morgan’s Superhero Alter Ego
The comedian, who’s played the character for 11 years, talks donning the “suit of armor” for possibly the last time in the new special, Cunk on Life.

Ending the year with some worries about the art and craft of comedy. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/31/a...

For Comics, Honing Jokes Has Taken a Backseat to Marketing.
Stand-ups need time and practice to get good. When they have to focus on promotion and their social media feeds, the art form suffers.

I enjoyed this exchange because asking to go off the record in a Q and A is like asking for a Big Mac at a Burger King -- > "Will we be able to go off the record for this part of the conversation? I wouldn’t want to have this conversation off the record. The answer doesn’t help me, specifically."

"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.
