I filed the story I needed to finish this week and my new apartment is finally starting to feel sorta like a place a human lives and I can’t wait to spend the next 48 hours staring at a wall having no thoughts

Part of being a good thinker (or trying to be, anyway) is being able to identify and admit when you haven’t got a clue but being a good thinker and being paid to put your thoughts online overlap at a rate that is frankly suboptimal

“In Grenada, officials said about 98 percent of the buildings on Carriacou and Petite Martinique, where 9,000 to 10,000 people live in total, had been damaged or destroyed, including Carriacou’s main health facility, the Princess Royal Hospital… “There is literally no vegetation left anywhere”

I’d add Benchmade Modern to that list, and though Room & Board uses lower-density foam, they’re overall pretty solid and have great customer service over the life of their couches, so I’d keep an eye out for them too. They allow you to buy new cushion inserts when the foam flattens.

ABC Carpet and Home. Very few brands are actually good—if you want something well-made, you’re probably going to need to order it from a small American manufacturer or find something at a Restoration Hardware outlet. Blu Dot is also well-regarded and I looked into MadeRight CA, which seemed great.

It was made in North Carolina and has a kiln-dried hardwood frame and hand-tied sinuous spring suspension. I am going to sit on this couch for so many years. Maybe long enough that I eventually have it reupholstered.

This fell through (of course) but I have somehow managed to locate the only new couch in the New York City metro area that’s the right size and color and has the manufacturing specs I wanted and can be delivered tomorrow and not 4-8 weeks from now. Also it was on sale. I am a golden god

“You can’t terrorize a society into having morals and manners with the threat of online infamy. Meanwhile, we shouldn’t overlook the personal benefits of minding our own business, maintaining boundaries, and forgoing the impulse to treat whatever happens in earshot like a true crime saga.”

I got two days to pack my old place between when they let me back in after finishing active construction on the repairs and when my movers were coming. It’s gone about as well as you could hope overall but uhhh some more time to plan and sort things would have been helpful

An unfortunate thing about having to do an emergency move very quickly is that you pay for all your stuff to get moved into a very different apartment that you only saw once for three minutes and then two weeks later you have to pay someone else to come haul off the stuff you now realize doesn’t fit

Was at dinner with some friends a few weeks ago and we basically had a moment of silence after someone mentioned Rose’s on Flatbush. Perfect burger.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1,000 a month. Results showed that close to half of the participants secured housing, and nearly $600K saved in public service costs due to fewer ER visits & jail stays. They also saw improved mental health.

Yeah, war has Good Guys and Bad Guys and action and conflict. You have the opportunity for strong visual narrative. Pandemics don’t lend themselves to the tools we have!

As for art about the second- and third-order social and cultural implications of a disaster that don’t depict the events of the disaster itself…congrats, we’re swimming in it already

Art about war is its own genre with its own history and tropes and still most notable film and TV about the actual machinations of war are made long after the time they’re depicting. Even Apocalypse Now, which turned it around astonishingly fast, was depicting 1970 in 1979.

Unfortunate that this person appears to be in the business of thinking about TV professionally and apparently still cannot distinguish the differences between what I’m talking about and what he’s talking about

Yes! There is so much art out there about Covid on some level, but it’s just not people wearing N95s and talking seriously about flattening the curve or whatever this person wants

Also if I cue something up on Netflix or whatever and it’s about the pandemic, I’m just turning it off! I don’t consume art to see people pantomime what I was doing exactly four years ago in any other circumstance, so why would I do that in this, the most dismal of circumstances!

This happened with the Spanish flu, too—it’s not present in almost any of the notable art made in the years after it. And, like, of course it’s not. Art isn’t made to be a beat-by-beat retelling of real life, and artists very commonly deal with trauma and disaster of many kinds obliquely.
