<p>A beloved celebrity walks into a Brooklyn boutique, asks about a $15,000 mechanical bird, then riles millions of fans into a social-media frenzy.

The Athletic&#39;s Adam Crafton explains how "sham" deals, sportswashing and one hacker&#39;s email led to a devastating verdict — and why the aftermath of Man City&#39;s "festering stain" could extend beyond historic punishments... to world history.</p><br><p>• Subscribe to <u><a

<p>In a crumbling empire of ludicrous wealth and slop, filmmaker John Wilson keeps showing us what it means to be human — even (and especially) when that involves poop and/or circumcision. The director of "The History of Concrete" sits down with Pablo to contemplate how A.I. is forcing Hollywood&#39;s hand, what Nathan Fielder (and the Hallmark Channel) taught him about storytelling, and why art can live in peaceful conflict with the demands of reality and journalism.
