being an adult is realizing no one can stop you from buying a whole cheesecake on a normal weekday and eating it all at 3AM. growing up is realizing that buying a whole cheesecake on a normal weekday and eating it all at 3 AM is exactly as cool as you imagined

Just last weekend I found a choose your own adventure-style baseball book published by SI that I read as a kid and would gladly buy for my kid now. So many ways for SI to make money. Problem is to do that execs would have to prioritize quality and the long-term and that is not how media execs roll.

One important piece of history leading up to today's Sports Illustrated news: Jeff Bewkes and co spun off Time Inc. in 2013 loaded up with $1.3 BILLION in debt, $600 million of it just for a dividend. These magazines were set up to die, just took a while for it to happen.

Not to butt in but just wanted to say my firmest belief is that this season of Real World is not just great literature but in fact an incredible predictor of and way to understand the Trump era. (My second firmest belief is now that Amanda wasted her tweens.)
