Top forms of journalism, 2019: 1) mostly fictional personal essay about some trauma, perhaps ghostwritten by me 2) minor league "big name" journo exposed by another journo for liking the wrong tweet 3) intra-DSA muckraking 4) exposing Russian bots and sock puppets

Yes, love those “pieces” ... editors are always trying to “score” with a hot piece of trauma writing

A piece that can fill an entire week's schedule of pieces is a dream piece...I like it when there's a week of favorable responses, then someone "complicates" or "problematizes" the piece the next week and the cycle starts anew, while others express fatigue with the topic
