…Ah nepotism. Defined by Merriam Webster as “favoritism (as in appointment to a job) based on kinship,” nepotism and online discussion of “nepo- babies” (children of celebrities) has certainly increased as of late. Personally, I lost my mind when I found out Gracie Abrams is JJ Abrams’s daughter. And I guess our obsession with nepotism has finally reached Netflix as they released a new office-comedy “Unstable” starring real-li...…

…A couple of years ago, my friends decided to start getting into “League of Legends.” If that doesn’t make you throw up in your mouth a little bit, it should. I held out for about a month, refusing to join them. Eventually, the frustration of being excluded from conversations because of game communications taking priority over everything else got to me. I became the worst possible thing you could ever live to see yourself becomin...…

…It’s important to say “hello” before you can say “goodbye.” My friends and I like to go back and look at our introduc- tory emails we sent before becoming Daily Sports Writ- ers. Mostly, they make us laugh, reading through the awkward, all-too-formal interactions. But they also hold fragments of the people we once were and, for better or worse, fragments of a person we’d never become. Here’s mine: from: Nicholas Stoll nkstoll@ umich.e...…
