Coming next week: ALL BALL, a gambling-free Defector NFL podcast starring me and @arif.bsky.social. Trailer here. Special thanks to @eliyudin.com for his intensely manly voice work. art19.com/shows/the-di...

laughed very much at this failed book review and would like a follow-up blog about the major fallout that presumably occurred with his sister-in-law upon its publication

Fun backstory here. Sabs blogged about how much they hated those Grammarly commercials. The actor, Jude, turned out to be a Defector reader and was down to make this ad happen. defector.com/vindicated-a...

Somehow a professional sports front office is poaching from @defector.com's business team, so I need to hire a new Director of Revenue. Apply here: apply.workable.com/defector-med...

I truly love that Defector has carved out a Reacher beat over the years, starting with this @brandyjensen.bsky.social essay that was one of the very best things we published in our first twelve months. defector.com/my-year-with...

From Bring Up the Bodies, here is Hilary Mantel's description of Thomas Cromwell's advice for working with King Henry VIII, and I genuinely think Harvard Business Review should reprint it every year as an article called "How to Manage the Unmanageable CEO"

It's been really lovely reading all the tributes to Dan. Many people have asked if they can contribute to support his wife and son. You can do so here: everloved.com/life-of/dan-...

Defector's @jaspercwang.bsky.social on why it's ok for business owners to choose integrity over survival. With host @greenwell.bsky.social. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/d...

"Did you really not like your boss?" asks Defector's @jaspercwang.bsky.social. What if you were all each other's bosses? With host @greenwell.bsky.social on The Kicker. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

TOO LONG HAVE I BEEN FORCED TO SPEAK A VARNISHED TRUTH. (Thank you to @greenwell.bsky.social for having me on, and for the @columjournreview.bsky.social audio editor for helping me sound not insane.)

An enormous honor to be a Normal Gossip guest, and in Malala's season! (I did NOT threaten to withhold anyone's paycheck unless they put me on. Stop telling people I threatened to withhold paychecks.)

I wrote about the chair company, the wider Tim Robinson project and how the men are just going through it, especially in comedy defector.com/tim-robinson...

ICYMI, Normal Gossip is BACK with new episodes! If you're traveling for Thanksgiving, it's the perfect opportunity to catch up on the new season. Today's episode is a cozy holiday whodunnit:

Spent the entire World Series feeling completely ambivalent between these two teams but after that 9th inning I’m somehow going to be completely gutted if the Jays lose

the subject line on Eventbrite's weekly product marketing email accidentally encapsulates This Moment perfectly

I waited until the end of the bottom of the tenth (Raleigh IBB and Julio ground out) to leave a bar in deep Brooklyn, did a 90 minute commute to uptown Manhattan, and am now seated in my apartment for the top of the 15th.

a person at Treasury gave Defector a rundown of how this process—which appears to be against the law—was expedited in order to avoid public scrutiny defector.com/treasury-dep...

The moment I start Remembering Some Yankees Middle Relievers is the moment you learn exactly the seasons I was ~13 years old.

@defector.com's WNBA comedy show is TONIGHT at Littlefield in Brooklyn! We've still got ~15 seated tickets left and plenty of standing room ones. defector.com/wnbashow, use code LETSGOLIBS

i'll be reading and analyzing all of these responses! i'd love to present your ideas to the rest of the staff. we're especially interested in hearing: 1. about how and where you find stuff to read online; & 2. from people who don't (yet!) subscribe to the site.
