The Herb

Even in the greys, I would like to say thanks to you, Diana, for all your excellent blogs over the years. I don’t twitter much, but I am following you (along with all the departed deadspinners) and hope to read more of your great pieces.

If it’s not warning me against working for a G/O Media site, is it really looking out for my safety?

How great would it be if the other blogs all started covering sports today?

Can you let me know when you will be returning to sports coverage so I can go back to checking in once or twice per day?

“Hey, Torquemada, what’s an affray?”

I would’ve liked to own you,

The damage caused by Roger Ailes is truly breathtaking in its impact and scope. Professionally, he was a proto-Rove Richard Nixon accomplice and enabler who went on to found the most powerful and pervasive propaganda network in modern history, which was profoundly responsible for training millions to disregard…
