My 7-year-old daughter heard me say that Dolly Parton died, and got visibly very sad. I was surprised she even knew that name.

“You know Dolly Parton?”

In the sweetest timid voice, she replied:

“Well, I don’t _know_ know her. But she sent me books.”

🥹😢😭

For @esquire, I wrote about losing a dream job earlier this year in the same month our daughter arrived.

About the fear and anxiety of it all.

Crystal Palace climb to second (yes SECOND) in the Premier League as they beat Champions Liverpool 2-1 at Selhurst Park. Palace remain unbeaten, the only unbeaten side in the top flight. 18 games unbeaten in all competitions, equalling the club record set in 1969. Wowza. #CPFC

[Crystal Palace F.C. @CPFC]

Make that 17 games unbeaten 🫢

We take the three points at West Ham ���👏

Some 78 public radio organizations and 37 TV organizations are at risk of going dark as a result of the cuts Trump pushed through Congress, from major cities to far-flung towns like Unalakleet, Alaska, and Pendleton, Ore. @elenalingshao @BenMullin https://t.co/3HwRpKQBX6

If you love reading about the glossy, messy world of legacy media, have I got a book for you.

Michael Grynbaum’s new book about Condé Nast is a super juicy read.

I loved it.

UEFA confirm #CPFC drop down from Europa League to Conference League due to conflict with multi-club ownership rules. (Lyon already in Europa.)
What a mess. If it was a serious crackdown on multi-club o/ship, I'd welcome it. But it's just about paperwork
