Late Oscars thoughts, job & house hunting, critics on critics

By big digital media outlet culture reporter standards, I’m extremely late to writing about the Oscars, but I still wanted to share a few of my thoughts and favorite reads on the biggest movies of the year. Luckily, this is my newsletter, so I get to do whatever I want ;)

I’m so tired of the punishingly quick news cycle. Timeliness is next to godliness in online criticism. Though a lot of editors won’t admit it, publishing something early enough to get good SEO traffic is more important to them than actually publishing something, you know, interesting or smart or good.
