Friends are like “what did you think of the AEW show” and it’s very hard to explain that kind of instant feedback isn’t what I provide or even think about. Nothing I cover is timely; everything I write, even the features, are part of a larger commentary on something else.
I rely on the people who cover this stuff in an up-to-the-minute way to do their thing, but that isn’t my beat. The same goes for fitness — I couldn’t care less about some juiced YouTuber squatting a million pounds and I leave it to others to comment on USAPL rule changes, etc.
I didn’t do trivia as a grad student or a professor, and I don’t do trivia or breaking news as a writer. There are plenty of other folks who provide such content, much of it good or interesting. But it isn’t something I think about much, because that isn’t my job.
One of the worst things you can do is come up against a sports trivia fan who immediately wants to go toe to toe with you on trivia, and the best thing to do is to engagement in Trivia Disarmament. It’s like meeting the “social media smart boys” — just get them to stand down
Either way, whether I’m writing a feature for some publication or a short story for @MUGGER1955 , my focus never changes: I’m interested in thinking about the way we live now. Everything else is irrelevant, and the subject matter is a means to an end
