Stephen Colbert got his band to play licensed music during his final show so CBS would be sued for using the music illegally.

“Oh no! I hope this doesn't cost CBS any money!”

I wrote a 28 page paper in one day in my final week of college. These people are not Built To Last

Feels so good to be back IN PRINT! We've got 10s of 1000s of our Bay Guardian endorsements issue being delivered around the city, pick one up at a nearby bookstore, cafe, etc or head to https://t.co/Unalk8g9rQ for the digital scoop. Anybody want to fund a full print revival? 🫠

on Amazon I have discovered a book called "Infinite Jeffs" which is apparently a copy of Infinite Jest where each word has been replaced with the word "Jeff"

thanks so much to the buds at The Bay, the great @KQEDnews podcast, for having me on to talk about this story & the state of the arts in SF

ICYMI: I wrote about the elephant in SF's arts scene. Founded by the mayor & backed by a crypto billionaire, the Civic Joy Fund is propping up a disproportionate amount of the city's cultural life — and forcing musicians to make some tough decisions. https://t.co/TCvtr2LX4x

Julie K. Brown wins a Pulitzer special citation for exposing Epstein’s systematic abuse, the justice system that protected him, and the network around him. Her reporting broke the story open years ago, which is still unfolding today.

@supermarke @douggpound "can I get some more 4d3d3d3" is uttered randomly around our home more often than I should prob admit

[Sophia Benoit @1followernodad]

there isn’t an editor for this. At some point in your life as a 42 year old white lady in New York, you are simply called by god to write a deranged essay for The Cut

[Emma Silvers @emmaruthless]

@paocarisweat thank you!

[Emma Silvers @emmaruthless]

I did a deep dive on the growing artist backlash against SF's Civic Joy Fund, an initiative founded by the mayor & backed by a crypto billionaire to use free arts & entertainment as a means of "economic revitalization" https://t.co/TCvtr2LX4x

@sf_mills thanks Emily!
