Hung Up is the weekly newsletter from Hunter Harris. I write for magazines and websites and TV, too. Previously, I was a staff writer at Vulture and New York Magazine. There, I wrote about movies and music and pop culture: I went to Tuscany with the cast of Succession, profiled Julia Fox, and had coffee at a cat cafe with Jason Derulo. I’ve profiled Zendaya, Usher, Regina King, Haim, Charlie Puth, Keke Palmer, and Sharon Stone.

INDIGNITY is the revived, revised, and expanded successor publication to the Hmm Weeklynewsletter, which was the successor to the Hmm Daily blog, which was deemed "essential" in the New York Times before its funding model collapsed and we had to go get regular jobs. I'm Tom Scocca, the editor of Indignity, and I quit my regular job to start writing again full-time, for you, the readers of Indignity—who are also, under Substack, the funding model for Indignity.

Subscribe to get full access to the newsletter and website. During the season, I give a deeper dive into something you might have missed from the previous night’s Kansas City Royals game. In the off-season, it’s a mix of reviews, previews and some other stuff that maybe just focuses on the game of baseball in general. Never miss an article. And hey, give me a follow on Twitter @DBLesky to make sure you don’t miss anything!

Have you ever read somewhere that your city’s bagels are “just as good as New York's?” I’ve read that too many times to remember and, as far as I can tell, it’s never been true. I set out to eat every bagel in Western Washington to find out once and for all which ones are a schmear above and which ones can’t slice it. And there are so many more bagel metaphors ahead…

I love clothing. I have ever since I decided dressing up as Superman every day when I was 3 was how I was gonna stunt on haters. Then I won best dressed in high school and stunted again. Then I got a job writing for Hypebeast and met some of my heroes, which allowed me to then work for the best menswear site of all-time, Four Pins. I spent the majority of my career at GQ where I still contribute to this day.

This newsletter is focused on founders and startups. My goal is to inspire more individuals to take a chance and pursue their dreams of changing the world by creating a company.

Hi. My name’s Josh Haden. I’m probably best known for writing a song entitled “Spiritual” that was recorded by Johnny Cash on his 1996 Grammy-winning album Unchained. I founded a band called Spain in the early 1990s that has recorded seven studio albums and is currently working on our eighth. I’m the son of the late jazz bassist Charlie Haden. My sisters, Rachel, Petra, and Tanya, have an acclaimed singing group called the Haden Triplets, and are accomplished solo artists in their own rights.
