One of the best writers I know is an editor at Rolling Stone right now. I honestly feel bad for him, going down with the ship like this.

I dealt with a couple of RS contributing editors recently and they seemed liked pretty good guys as some others that knew them confirmed. Hint: the two of them are best friends since college.

Looked up the lyrics for "Cover of the Rolling Stone" and made an attempt at a Rob Sheffield-style rewrite. ("Thoreau is like Ralph Emerson/Ralph Emerson is what I read!") Quickly gave up--virtually impossible to work in "Just to be clear, you'll be paying them."

Rolling Stone rescinded my job offer after I attempted to negotiate the salary. https://t.co/FVRCQRKaaN

I don't know if anyone gets Todd Burns' Substack newsletter, but this was pretty funny in this morning's:

Corrections Department

Last week, I wrote that Rolling Stone is paying thought leaders to write for them. It is, in fact, the opposite. Rolling Stone is asking thought leaders to pay Rolling Stone to write for the magazine. Which is, uh, quite a difference.
