Crazy how @Boringstein has shaped American docustyle for the next few decades more than anybody else. As talented, passionate, and principled as a person can be. They’re an inspiration.

In Zohran’s New York City you can be anything…a pitchfork writer, my boss or coworker, a lesbian hanging out with your best friend you have erotic tension with, someone who sends incredibly specific replies to my tweets about books

The age gap discourse bomb to end them all
Jonathan Glazer's BIRTH (2004) • Entering the Criterion Collection in January! Starring Nicole Kidman, Glazer’s second feature is a haunting cinematic enigma that explores the mysteries of the heart.

When I wrote a negative review of the Emahoy Tsege Mariam Gebru album on Pitchfork there were folks in the experimental music scene upset and baffled that someone would write something negative about her music. I basically think stan brain + social media made everyone dumb.
Kelefa Sanneh wonders when music criticism—formerly the domain of abundant hot takes and pans—got so nice. https://t.co/rAXT4tsNto

not a lot of places apart from Conde that could fund investigative journalism into the business and power dynamics of the music industry right now, I don't have much hope for upper CN leadership but they shouldn't squander that opportunity

not to disparage interviews and profiles, but I hope some of the "stories that have gone untold" in the works for these zines include the essential investigative work that was completely gutted by the p4k layoffs last year
