All this practice has done for me as a reader -- at the NYT and other legacy media outlets -- has made me realize I do not like writers I thought I liked.

Can the New York ‘Times’ turn its writers into video stars? That seems to be the bet the newspaper is making as it puts some of its most notable voices — including Ezra Klein, Ross Douthat, and now Wesley Morris — in front of the camera.

I wrote about @KayKasparhauser's show at Entrance for @Artforum's summer issue. The work was an example of "grace and survival via [Johnny] Knoxvillian surrender and Sisyphean tenacity—a politics of making as if the elevator door is about to slam shut." .

Kay Kasparhauser’s bioart-inspired works incorporate terrariums and lanternfly pigments to reflect on decay, waste, and ecological resilience.

There is a particular kind of art/literary world event that is simultaneously charged with ambient social anxiety AND a diffuse disappointment that there’s nothing and no one present worth being anxious about. Tragic rooms.

Went on @newmodels_io to discuss my essay in.@LAReviewofBooks, "Player One and Main Character." Realized today I should have titled it "The Story of Player One and Main Character." More fun.🇺🇸.

For @DocumentJournal, had the pleasure of chatting with @trevorpaglen about Images: A Show and also images in general. Photos by Daniel Arnold, who accompanied me on one of my sessions practicing preaching on the subway.

I wasn’t planning on writing about politics again so soon— not my beat—but then Elon waved around his new chainsaw. Out today for @LAReviewofBooks, "Player One and Main Character.".

I don’t really believe in the myth of the “evil genius” anymore. Moral idiots usually prove to also be idiot idiots.

From the early days of @BookCameo, when I was so obsessed I embedded videos into short story.

Glad to have been invited on @newmodels_io to chat with @cbcb2000 & @LILINTERNET. We spoke a day after the election, a few days after my essay in @LAReviewofBooks was published, an ~hour after I found out Image King had reclaimed the throne of Image World.

For @LAReviewofBooks, I wrote about Trump as an image girl in an Image World, and the possibility that -- in a time when there are many more cameras than people -- reality is obeying rules of image/story like it does laws of physics.

Eric Adams has always thought of NYC as Gotham and the mayor's job as meeting with gray-area criminals in smoke filled backrooms and having a good table at good restaurants. He was pretty open about this. I understand why he is confused that people are upset.
