-I was very entertained by this profile on Ike Barinholtz, who talks about his Celebrity Jeopardy win (“A lot of characters I’ve played are, oh, I don’t want to say stupid, but I can’t imagine they would do well on Jeopardy!, right? They’re all, like, folks on the margins of society. So, I think there were people who were probably like, ‘Oh wow, that guy’s not actually a complete moron!’ But I want those people to know that I still am. Like, I constantly figure out new ways to get my keys locked in my car”), why he stays so busy (“With the business where it is, everyone has to have, like, seven different side hustles”), and cancel culture (“I think when people in comedy talk about cancel culture, what they’re mad about is being called out on their shit. And, by the way, I don’t know any comedians that are actually fucking canceled. [Dave] Chappelle just won a Grammy, Louis C.K. just sold out Madison Square Garden. Nine times out of 10, those complaining about cancel culture are just mad that someone that they’ll never meet is saying, ‘You suck'”).

-This is a great piece on Paul Mescal, who in his short career has established himself as a very particular sort of object of longing.
-I agree with the Fug Girls’ take on all the behind the scenes photos we’re getting of the new season of And Just Like That. “But I couldn’t help but wonder: Do these dribs and drabs help or hurt? For example, how many people will watch to see what happens with Aidan, versus those who will see these leaks and conclude, ‘REALLY? This again? I’m out.'”

–Harvey Weinstein was sentenced to 16 more years in prison following his December 2022 conviction for sexual assault in Los Angeles. That’s on top of the 23 years the 70-year-old is already serving, so he’s likely in there for the rest of his life.
