Last Friday, we published a lengthy look at the Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni saga based on documents they had filed heading into a trial. Today, Lively and Baldoni finally settled their dispute. Here's our account of how they got here: www.vulture.com/article/just...

Also, is it a coincidence that the parties settled after @reeveswiedeman.bsky.social did the definitive blow-out piece on this whole affair for @nymag.com ? Maybe, but I'm gonna say, "No." Read (or listen to it) here: www.vulture.com/article/just...

Wrote about David Ellison's ascension for next week's @nymag.com. He won the Hollywood crown. Now what? www.vulture.com/article/davi...

Brutal column in the Kansas City Star about a local real estate company trying to avoid public scrutiny for selling ICE a property for a massive prison camp: www.kansascity.com/opinion/arti...

I talked to @reeveswiedeman.bsky.social about his great David Ellison profile. Extremely happy with this headline. slate.com/podcasts/wha...

Learned from this Vulture feature that David Ellison tried acting. Here's a still from a 2006 interview in which he's misidentified as "David Ellis." www.vulture.com/article/larr...

Wrote about the Ellisons attempted takeover of Hollywood for the new cover of @nymag.com

Wrote about all of the *other* Kennedys: nymag.com/intelligence...

Only one Kennedy is in a position of power — and his family can only watch helplessly as he destroys much that they stood for. Read our latest cover story by @reeveswiedeman.bsky.social about the Kennedy family’s rift over RFK Jr. and Trump: nymag.com/intelligence...

There’s many good parts in this story, but this part killed me.

I went to Kyoto to figure out how to travel now that we live in the age of overtourism—too many people with too much money and too few places they all want to go. nymag.com/intelligence...

So many great/horrific details in this dispatch from Kyoto by @reeveswiedeman.bsky.social nymag.com/intelligence...

SNL 50 is over. What's next for the show and for Lorne Michaels? My @nymag.com feature on the show's present and future: www.vulture.com/article/snl-...

I think @choire.bsky.social has the best gig in media right now and one reason it's so good is that he will ask @reeveswiedeman.bsky.social about his interview spreadsheets, this is peak performance link.nymag.com/view/5e304c7...

SNL is 50, Lorne Michaels is 80, and I tried to talk to people in his universe to understand Lorne, his power and influence in the entertainment world—and what happens if and when he ever leaves the show he created: www.vulture.com/article/snl-...

special appreciation to @bridgetgillard.bsky.social and especially @reeveswiedeman.bsky.social, who spent the end of negotations wearily explaining that he did not have endless time because he was also trying to close this great lorne michaels piece - www.vulture.com/article/snl-...

Remember in October when @nymag.com published its annual Power Issue with members of the “media elite?" Well, @nymagunion.bsky.social thought you might want to hear from media workers themselves. Introducing our union Power Issue: MEDIA WORKERS TELL ALL!
