SEE FRIENDSHIP is out today. The reception has been overwhelmingly nice (so far, at least), and it is semi-profound to have an entire novel out in the world, for people to read and hopefully think about. My book tour begins this week, and my dates are pinned here:

on DELIVER ME FROM NOWHERE, and how the "hole in the floor" speech is still there in spirit, but mostly about Springsteen as one of the first Boomer nostalgia acts, a 70s throwback to the cinematic iconography of the post-WWII youthquake: https://t.co/itTFZl4HAi

Moderating the Pitchfork comments section is already the worst job in media
Coming in 2026, as we celebrate our 30th anniversary, we’re finally planning to add a comments section and reader scores to all of our album reviews. That’s over 30,000 pieces of music criticism on which you’ll be able to leave your own Pitchfork review and score for the very

Like everything else, professional arts criticism has been under attack this year, and @skornhaber reported a really great piece on what might be taking its place:

Demand for cultural commentary is higher than it’s ever been—but now that commentary is coming from unconventional new sources.

The debate saved the most burning question till the end. Moderators asked Zohran Mamdani, Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa if they've purchased anything in a cannabis shop, prompting some giggle-inducing answers.

Learned about a 1926 silent film called THE BOOB, about some pure-hearted doofus, with its fitting tagline: "Here Comes the Boob." Thinking it's time we bring that one back

Thrilled to see this deeply reported and deeply personal piece on the meaning of Zohran Mamdani's candidacy for Muslims in America, by my brilliant colleague Meher Ahmad.

What does it mean to be a “good” Muslim in America?

Interesting, have you considered each one of these people as human beings bearing the image of God? Human beings who are not only endowed with inherent dignity but also infinitely deserving of a community that seeks to ease their pain and improve their lives?
Honestly, thought this was a still image when I first started watching. Nope, just a Tuesday morning in Gavin Newsom’s California

I think it's more important to have both — one without the other is like, who gives a shit?
i think it’s more important to have good taste than to be a good writer, and my qualms with most arts writing, be it academic or not, is that i feel like the author does not have good taste. their lack of curiosity—their crowdsourced interests—just makes the writing meaningless.

Announcing to the restaurant that I plan to read SHADOW TICKET as I eat, but in a normal way, not performative, I've just had a long day and this is what I've brought with me—please, no photos, no theories about the modern man, no "tfw you're in Brooklyn" cracks, I'm just a guy

In 2008 I had to go to a Virgin Megastore in Paris to legally purchase a copy of LOVE STREAMS, which I then ripped to my British friend's laptop and burnt a new copy as a US-region DVD so I could watch at home. It had a rep as his masterpiece, but you just couldn't find it
uncs of film twitter: what are some movies that are canonical now but were basically unknown when we were coming up? like Come and See or Possession. inversely: what are some movies or filmmakers that seem to have fallen off? (Takashi Miike comes to mind)

8th graders aren't worldly enough to appreciate Bob Marley—they've yet to fall in love and get a little too high (but it's fine, whatever). Animal Collective and Slint make music about being yippy weirdos filled with childlike joy and alienation, which is appropriate for that age
I’m sorry but being really into Animal Collective and Slint as an 8th grader is legitimately cooler than pretending to have a huge Bob Marley phase or any of the lame shit kids at my school were doing

I first encountered László Krasznahorkai a decade ago, through Seiobo There Below (amazing book), which I cold purchased off the shelf because the cover caught my eye — marketing works
