About a year ago, I turned to the man I had just started dating, and as one so often does at the beginning of a relationship, I said something completely insane. "You have such great taste. Do you want to give me tips for dressing better?" Perhaps asking your lover to do something most succinctly referred to as "Kim and Kanye-ing" you is an obvious mistake. But it was true—my sweetheart did have great taste. He cared about what he wore and knew how to sew. He was a working artist described by one gallery as the "Master of Color," whereas I could not be trusted to judge if any two colors go together, unless those colors were "black" and "slightly lighter black." When I told a female friend about my sweetheart's sartorial style and his impeccably decorated house, my friend remarked that his taste probably rubbed off from his ex-girlfriend. "It's the opposite, actually," he told me. "She got her style from me."

A good cowboy cookout can change anyone's perspective. Even if you're a casual fan of Taylor Sheridan's Yellowstone universe of shows on the Paramount Network, you'll know that its brand of cattle wrangling, whiskey sipping, and bull riding has won over the country to become the most-watched show on cable television. Of course, it helped that the series about a family sitting on generations of wealth also featured enough violence to make Kevin Costner's John Dutton look something like Montana's Tony Soprano. But something happened to Sheridan's body of work as he stretched himself across more television series. With each new line on Sheridan's IMDB page, Yellowstone—the flagship series that kicked this empire off—started to fall behind. |

When the AI-powered chatbots chronicle the history of the social media era, they will note that the myth of the Genius Social Platform CEO died on December 11, 2022, not with a data center outage or a violent mob spurred on by a Tweet or sweeping government regulation, but onstage at a comedy show. It was at San Francisco's Chase Arena, to be precise, where comedian Dave Chappelle asked his audience to "make some noise for the richest man in the world," aka Elon Musk, who subsequently stepped onto the stage. And noise they did make, though not the kind that Musk was expecting. This, after all, was San Francisco, the cradle of tech innovation, land of the creators and the disruptors who move fast and break things, the home of Twitter Inc., which Musk had recently purchased for $44 billion. And there he was, standing before an audience he considered to be his people: mostly alpha bros who enjoy transphobic, antisemitic, misogynistic "jokes." And yet, there was no denying that they were booing. |
