Paloma Media Newsletter #3

nancyrommelmann.substack.com

Hey Substackees. As careful readers here know, we launched the threatened/promised Paloma Media, three weeks ago tomorrow! It falls on me to create the weekly “here’s what we did!” newsletter, at which I am terrifically bad, in terms of execution, really, if one of you can send over an 11 year-old I’m sure we could get it done in one-eighth of the time…

Nevertheless! Here is this week’s newsletter. I do hope you check out the offerings. As is this site, Paloma Media is a labor of love (no fat-cats with deep pockets!) and I appreciate your support here and/or there. Lemon meringue kisses (scroll down!) xx

You know what to do…

Hello Paloma Media early buy-ins! We rounded out Week 3 and already I’m already slacking on the Sunday newsletter. Alas, we spent yesterday at a Michael Moynihan-moderated debate, “Is Capitalism Dead?,” between Reason magazine’s Nick Gillespie and Jacobin founder and publisher Bhaskar Sunkara, which I found fascinating and occasionally hilarious. Michael’s daughter Livia? Not so much…

What did we run for you on PalomaMedia.com on week 3? I wrote about watching the movie Pig (“How You Try to Break a Man”) and narrated my piece about visiting serial killer John Wayne Gacy on death row shortly before his execution (“Going to Gacy: A Cross-Country Journey to Shake the Devil’s Hand”). Scott Ross made a pitch for inducting the right Hall of Famers (“Early Baseball Committee Late to Its Own Party”), and the Paloma Media podcast spoke with Peter van Buren about rewriting history on New York City’s Lower Eastside (“Who Gets to Live in the Tenement Museum?”). After the Hulu series Reservation Dogs won two Gotham Awards, I dug into my phone and found video of series’ creator Sterlin Harjo congratulating the cast just after wrap (“Reservation Dogs: That’s A Wrap!”). Episode 3 of “Ask a Jew” dropped. (Episode 4 is up today!) We linked work that adds necessary complexities to the issues that vex us, including Mary Gaitskill on #MeToo and Caitlin Flanagan on the abortion debate. And we posted what may be my fave Beauty Mark to date - see if you can spot it below!

Until next week, sending thanks for coming along and a virtual slice of the most recent pie to pop from the Paloma oven xx
