professional programming note
agrammar: Hi there! I’ve been getting a whole bunch of questions about my new job, which was announced on Monday. So I guess I should explain what’s up with that. Here is the short-and-sweet version: I’ve been invited to work as the pop critic for New York Magazine. This is pretty obviously amazing. It’s a great magazine with terrific writers and critics, and I’m ridiculously...
