Going to play catch-up on some things that need amplification on my tabs for the weekend. Apologies for being so absent lately, and for being so late on a few extremely newsworthy items. It couldn’t be helped. First up, allow me to extend hearty and heartfelt congratulations to Catherine Dunphy, the first graduate of The …

Hits vs comments, controversialism, and a reception metric
