Today I paid a visit to the most famous grate in the world, southwest corner of 52nd and Lex, the one that Marilyn Monroe stood on top of. No plaque or sign or anything!

I was today years old when I learned bass determined a track’s placement on vinyl.
“Gabriel wanted to have "In Your Eyes" as the final track, but its prominent bassline meant it had to be placed earlier on the vinyl edition where the phonograph stylus had more room to vibrate.”

Weirdly there will be absolutely no debt-ceiling standoff over this.

The Pentagon announced in March its largest-ever budget: $842 billion. Almost half will go to defense contractors. A six-month 60 Minutes investigation found that contractors are overcharging the Pentagon on almost everything. cbsn.ws/45kcicq

Even LeBron is talking about his athletic mortality. One of my favorite episodes of Good Sport was about retirement, regret, growth, and what comes next. Worth a listen, I say.

Another tidbit that sticks with me from the (forthcoming) episode of Death On The Lot about the 1945 Hollywood strike. While the Paramount lot was surrounded, picketers clashing with cops, execs were bunkered up inside emptying booze carts, partying, making out with each other.

This episode brought back my childhood. Loved these books as a kid (dolls too expensive). Did not realize there was a 90s girl now (a bit younger than me) who comes with a Book It! set...which is both accurate of my childhood and makes me feel so old....

At Esquire we sent a bunch of people $100 bills and asked them to send back $100 worth of work. Amis sent this bit of brilliance.

all of the best advice I've gotten from other artists, very early in my life of writing, has had little to do with the actual making of art, and so much more to do with how to treat people -- peers, younger artists readers of yr work, booksellers at your readings, etc etc

Listened to this omw to the airport yesterday and now looking forward to reading 's book, which from the sound of it fills gaps in usually unsatisfying accounts of how we got from spring 1963 events in Birmingham to the Civil Rights Act over a year later

Another episode with @paulkix about the fateful spring of 1963. Here we go inside a heated meeting with RFK and Baldwin, Belafonte, and many more. It changed the course of the movement. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/thi

"History forgets about the rats" goes crazy
Quote Tweet
Sempre fizeram de tudo para evitar que o preto chegasse ao topo... escravizaram, marginalizaram e mataram. Mas nunca vão derrubar quem nasceu para ser grande. A história se esquece dos ratos e agiganta quem luta contra essa gente ruim. Tamo junto sempre, @vinijr
