Something amazing happened this weekend, but something rather normal happened last night: the American Society of Magazine Editors held their annual award ceremony, where they basically Oscar’d out and rewarded the New Yorker, this week’s home of mediocre white men, the award in Essays and Criticism for Roger Angell’s piece about being old, which, not hating just saying, was fine, but was nothing compared to Ta-Nehisi Coates’ STUNNING The Case for Reparations which pretty much set the world afire but ok????????????? Let’s just spend the rest of the day re-reading it.

Fortunately, not all was lost: a pair of little-known cover models got their due.
