Thanks to my newest Patreon patron Jen! Get in on the fun Here.
Today in headlines Mad Libs: Sean Penn interviewed El Chapo for Rolling Stone. (My main takeaway is that it's good Sean Penn has a day job, as I do not particularly want to read his writing ever again.) Obviously this was ethically questionable in any number of ways - including that they let the drug lord approve the piece before publication - and Brian Stetler has a decent rundown of the issues. Last night on Twitter there were many reports from reputable news outlets that Mexican officials "confirmed" that the interaction with Penn helped them catch El Chapo but I'm not seeing stories about that this morning, so . . . I'm not sure. If something surfaces I'll include it tomorrow.
