  • Link Party: 5/2-5/6

    This week was a great week in Internet writing. Here’s what I read: 1. This new Joan Didion piece is just her notes from reporting on the Patty Hearst trial in the 1970s, and it’s still incredible writing. I am in awe. 2. America and Allrecipes. 3. The eternal magic of Beirut. 4. The stories of…

    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: 11/30-12/4

    Here’s what I read this week: 1. Read about the original culinary road warriors and their quest to document American cuisine. 2. Sifting through the trash of San Francisco to find art. 3. Tattoos in the fine art world. 4. I didn’t know a lot about SoulCycle besides it being a very expensive spin class, but after reading…

    1. This is a magnum opus on selfies. If you only have time to read one thing in this week’s party, make it this. 2. This article really makes me miss video stores as a cultural institution. Netflix is really and truly The Worst. 3. The history of the siren on Starbucks cups. 4. The phenomenon of…

  • Link Party: 7/27-7/31

    I’d like to know where July went. Please tell me. Anyway, here’s what I read this week: 1. iTunes is the worst re: metadata. 2. You all are sleeping on the Arctic Monkeys, but the South Americans are not. This article also has some interesting things to say about South America infrastructure and the power of…

  • Link Party: 7/6-7/10

    Here’s what I read this week: 1. I love Diane Keaton, and this New Yorker profile from the 1970s is fantastic. 2. Why babies in medieval art look like ugly old men. 3. I say it every week on Twitter, but Rachel McAdams as Ani Bezzerides is truly the best part of this season of True…

  • Link Party: 6/29-7/3

    Here’s what I read this week: 1. I didn’t notice how many X should buy Y articles there are out there, and now I will. 2. I’m not a fan of Taylor Swift, but after reading this essay I understand her cultural pull a little more. 3. The Notorious RBG. 4. I haven’t watched the…

  • Link Party: 5/4-5/8

    I’m very, very sorry that I’ve been MIA this week. I have to tell you, it’s been a rough quarter in terms of scheduling: I don’t get home most weeknights until 6:30 or 7 p.m., and by then my brain is mush. But I have a lot of ideas for posts next week, and things…

  • 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…

  • Link Party: 2/16-2/20

    This week was not a good one for me, creatively or academically. But I’m bouncing back, and will have more posts next week. But here’s what I  was able to read: 1. I like to think that this profile of The New Yorker query proofreader Mary Norris is a projection of my future. 2. Ruth Bader…
