Unpopular opinion: Writing content is one of ChatGPT's worst use cases.

The thing about Adam Schlesinger is that he was a once in a lifetime genius. Not only did his bands rule— he also wrote ALL your favorite songs that fictional bands/popstars play!! (That Thing You Do, Josie & the Pussycats, most of the songs on Crazy Ex-GF and in Music & Lyrics)

I love everything about what's listed here but also would like to point out that Adam Schlesinger was in Ivy a totally underrated band these days that had perfect needledrops in in shows like Felicity, Roswell, Veronica Mars, Grey's Anatomy and more

Although it is amazing that Crazy Ex-Girlfriend lasted so long in an industry that usually avoids taking risks (and musicals), the live finale literally sold out the Orpheum Theater to thousands of cosplaying fans. It was widely beloved because it scratched a long-neglected itch.

Really happy to have a diary this morning so I can pour all my disappointments onto the page and not yuck anyone’s yum (I hate that phrase — is there a better one?)

Taylor swift lyrics relate to a very specific type of white woman, and that kind of white woman is also very prone to thinking their experience is universal. I like Taylor’s music fine, but in no way because I relate to it. Partly because I don’t.

With anti-TikTok legislation moving in Congress, good time to read my piece about how many TikTokers have landed on conspiracy theories about Jews being behind it, preventing them from understanding why the bill is happening and doing anything about it: theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

huh, I wonder if there could be a person behind a company that created radically new business and editorial incentives for some of the big changes to magazine journalism in the last, say 15 years
