So I guess this site is mentioned in Russ Smith's interview with Michael Wolff, and he's kind of dismissive of it? It would probably look petty if we didn't link to it? But it is extremely long and, if the very beginning is any indication, full of the buffoony self-regard with which Wolff peppers all of his blatant cries for attention? And, really, life is short and it's sunny out? So in the spirit of not being petty, I'll link, but I'll be damned if I'm going to read it. So there.

Yup, switching bylines just to fuck with us. I knew it.
I KNOW RIGHT?
OH WAIT NO BUT NO I KNOW - IT'S THE CAT! THE CAT IS SWILLING CHABLIS AND NIBBLING AT BRIE AND SWITCHING THE BYLINES!
Russ is just jealous that we don't have him to kick around anymore.
Would Denby call it "snarking" if I suggested Wolff's image, taken in its entirety, is the closest personification of the idea "testicle" that I have ever seen.
