The best playwright of our generation. The best recorder of conversation, contemporary language, social dynamics. Not yet in her 40s, i.e. with at least six books ahead of her. This is big stuff, we're lucky to be here folks.
Her plays: Body Awareness, Circle Mirror Transformation, The Aliens...
I like Version a lot. I wanna make sure he feels properly appreciated. I'm gonna share some of my favorite Version content and I encourage you to do the same.
Pop ICON.
Let's talk about her politics of liberty, libido, and desire: "It's our party, we can do what we want / It's our party, we can say what we want / This is our house / This is our rules"
Was "Adore You" the best pop song of 2013?
the new landscape designs made even more decisive breaks with continental gardening than did Pope at Twickenham. Gone were the intricate Italian knot motifs and razor-straight French avenues. Instead, designers opted for sinuous paths, expressed a newfound reliance upon trees, and built a...
One of the premier nature writing collections. The section on Fecundity is seared into my brain.
Re-reading, now that I'm out in the country again, and will post excerpts, thoughts, animals, stories as I go along. If you don't have a copy, you should pick one up, there are useds on AbeBooks and...
Came across a wild Oneohtrix Point Never performance, their new shoegaze cut "I Don't Love Me Anymore." The 90s are back baby!
Eli Keszler does the drums, Dasha Nekrasova—his partner's partner—does the video.
All the sudden it hit me: The time is ripe for a Brooklyn culture mafia thread...

There are two models of what art "is" I hear get bandied around. The first model, people say things like "All great writing is to an addressee," and "Bad art is by no one to no one." The second model, people say things like "Art transcends communication," "Art is the song of myself." Maybe a...
Documentary about various fan theories regarding Kubrick's The Shining. Anyone seen it?
I thought it was very fun, got turned onto it by a wonderful Sarah Perry essay called "Puzzle Theory"
https://www.ribbonfarm.com/2015/06/04/puzzle-theory/
I actually was thinking about this essay quite a...
I was just thinking about Napoleon and it made me think, maybe we pay too much attention to our national differences here, us Anglos, and not enough to our shared cultural strengths and values, like how we are two of the three (Germany?) countries in the world to see through France's cultural...
Is there a single Lennon or Wings album that can stand up to what the Beatles accomplished at peak? If we're being honest, isn't Pet Sounds a better record than SMiLE?
James Baldwin's writing famously gets worse (excessive, unchecked, baroque) as he gets older, because as his name and...
My favorite poetry publication this year was Ryan Ruby's Context Collapse. It's a little insider-baseball on literary theory at points—I know and respect this forum's anti-intellectualism, but I'm stuck in my wheelhouse of reference regardless; the Ballard-Pynchon canon might as well be alien...

This is Hype House.
The Backstreet Boys/NSYNC 90s vibes are strong with this one. Maybe some late 80s Springsteen in the jeans.
I've been meaning to get a Tik-Tok account for a while now, keep tabs on the kids, you know? This seems like a good opportunity...
I hear you all know a thing or two about grime and jungle. Assume I know nothing about anything played in clubs between 1990 and 2010. What do I have to listen to? What are the essentials? What was Diss on about in 2004, 2005?
The mathematical theory of bifurcation originated in the seminal work of Henri Poincaré on systems of non-linear differential equations. The term bifurcation was coined by Poincaré to designate the emergence of several solutions from a given solution. Whenever the solution to an equation, or...
