Liking Slayyyter in 2018 was like buying bitcoin in 2009

A new study found that 23% of social media discourse tied to the controversy surrounding Chappell Roan and Jorginho’s stepdaughter was “very likely” part of a coordinated, bot-driven smear campaign. consequence.net/2026/03/chappe…

So glad someone finally wrote this piece. This is NOT about singling anyone out. Influencers make interesting and entertaining content…I love so much of their work! But there is a time and a place for everything. And the red carpet is not it. Red carpet reporting is a tough job and a specialized craft. To do it well (and to make it look easy) requires preparation, skill and quite frankly, years of experience. This award season proved why red carpets should be left to entertainment journalists and studied hosts. For anyone who loves the red carpet (and grew up watching it like myself), this is a must-read from @Variety’s Dan D’Addario @DPD_ #recipient_hashed=68e3d3c1b7890c48eedd766bc4833efa29200ba4ea1a9f6d08631e43b92b2035&recipient_salt=b066df5b30f0fc383df67a68cd56813e4640a1e77a276be5193f371c22500843&utm_medium=email&utm_source=exacttarget&utm_campaign=newsalert&utm_content=671108_03-17-2026&utm_term=12558478&utm_medium=&utm_source=&utm_campaign=&utm_content=&utm_id=" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">variety.com/2026/film/colu…

Miss producer of the year 😘 👑

@Steven_Hyden “So … a concept album about listening to music? With other people?” I giggled

I wrote about Harry Styles and the crew of interchangeable and painfully boring 2020s pop hunks he's inspired, from Benson Boone to Role Model to Sombr to Yungblud to Alex Warren. tinyurl.com/ptbce6ry

If you're canceling your Washington Post subscription but still have an Amazon Prime membership, you're doing it wrong.

@Tobiasfornow @thefader exactly how i feel

I reviewed a very boring new Harry Styles song for @thefader, hopefully the final drip of the 2020s dance pop overflow. thefader.com/2026/01/23/ape…

my mom watching a traitors ad: “is this for that new hunger games movie”

I hate seeing arts reporters laid off. We need people to explore books, music, and movies. Arts journalism is incredibly important.

zara larsson grammy nom brings me so much joy
