Towleroad: After Barr intercepted the special counsel's report, Damian and I stopped watching the news again. But if we were going to get roped back in it would have been by the Gray Lady's bombshell that Mueller's investigators are unhappy with how the puppet AG is framing their report -- only it’s really just more proof that short of impeachment, there is very little you can do about a corrupt sitting president (back to “Newhart” reruns)

Regarding JT Leroy. The Moth Radio show some while back let Laura Albert present her version under the guise of their "the stories told are true as affirmed by the teller" trope. I haven't been able to listen to the Moth ever since. So yes, she gets lots of mileage still out of this.
I don't know whether I'll see the film "J.T. LeRoy," but I sure found this 2006 article in Vanity Fair compulsively readable. One short quote: "Of course, a lot of writers believe their characters are a part of them. As Flaubert famously said, '“Madame Bovary, c’est moi.' On the other hand, history has no record of Virginia Woolf ever pretending to be Mrs. Dalloway on the phone."

Same on taking a break from the news. It’s just like...what’s the point? Nothing seems to matter and it can be very frustrating. Don’t even get me started on the Dem primary. Can we just go ahead and vote for a nominee? The 2020 election seems so far away and I’m like get here already. Can it get worse? It can and it probably will.
