  • Link Party: 8/8-8/12

    I spent the whole weekend in Los Angeles (Saturday: Santa Monica and Malibu; Sunday: Arts District + Downtown + the Eastside). I have zero regrets. Here’s what I read this week: 1. Twitter‘s serious problem with abuse. 2. Inside a scandal at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History. 3. A brief history of Arthur…

  • Link Party: 1/18-1/22

    What happened to all of my time this week? I have no idea. Back to regularly scheduled programming next week. Here’s what I read: 1. This is a fascinating article on the future of parking — I have reservations about self-driving cars, but I’m all for making cities more livable. 2. I originally listened to this…

  • Link Party: 10/12-10/16

    Sorry for the late post this week.

This guy is the most prolific editor on Wikipedia, and has made more than 1.5 million edits across the website. 3.…

  • Link Party: 9/21-9/25

    Here’s what I read this week: 1. I loved this essay about annotating Alice in Wonderland and the contemporary connection of Genius. This is the kind of literary analysis content I’m here for. 2. The influence of Kanye West’s “808s and Heartbreak” on the rap world of 2015. 3. A French history of fancy frames. 4.…

I finished “The White Album” earlier this week, so I am loving this Paris Review interview with Joan Didion. 3. Inside couture…

    Here’s what I read this week: 1. A fascinating mini-profile on Louis Sarno, a musicologist that lives amongst the Bayaka in the Central African Republic. 2. It’s okay to run through The Six with your woes and then cry about it, Drake. 3. What the new Twitter Highlights tells us about Twitter and ourselves. 4.…

  • Link Party: 3/30-4/3

    Here’s what I read this week: 1. These are the emails you get from Twitter when you don’t Tweet, follow anybody or log into the account. 2. This guy tried to analyze 18 years of his email, which amounted to nearly half a million messages. 3. The history behind and surrounding the Mark Rothko murals…

  • Link Party: 2/23-2/27

    I had a great week, and I hope you did too. Here’s what I read: 1. This chat between two editors, who had never met before but tried to get the other to feel the most profound sense of dread and panic from reading an email,  is one of the funniest things I’ve read in a…
