When I think of Ibiza, I think of bohemian paradise and all-night discos—crocheted bikinis, and also ecstasy. I had never really thought of it as an island that might have a titan of industry, until Max Marshall called up and explained Yann Pissenem to me. Would we run an interview with the king of all clubs, who hauls in millions each night, but who never partakes of the bacchanals he fuels? Yes, we would, and we did. Read it here. And when you’re done, check out Max’s excellent 2023 book, Among the Bros, about a drug ring in a Deep South fraternity.
Speaking of the Deep South, VF’s Kase Wickman has the exclusive on a forthcoming biography of Lane Kiffin, probably the most hated coach in college football, who is now leading LSU. Journalist John Talty spoke to Kase about why he picked Kiffin as a subject—click here for that, and click here for Chris Smith’s bombshell profile of the man himself.
And speaking of most hated, something even Trump’s allies don’t like is his continued delusion that he won the 2020 election. He didn’t! But that didn’t stop him from hitting up prime time for some Big Lie riffing last night. Washington correspondent Aidan McLaughlin has an analysis, including the post-speech revelation of new allegations that Russian election interference helped…Trump.
