Remembering André Kertész on his birthday 🎂 📷 Judy Dater, 1979 "Everything is a subject. Every subject has a rhythm. To feel this rhythm is the raison d'etre. The photograph is a fixed moment of such a raison d'etre, which lives on in itself."

I can’t believe the Supreme Court just ruled that the president can sleep outdoors in a public space.

kind of funny to announce that it's okay for the president to be a tyrant three days before the nation celebrates its declaration of independence from tyranny

modern advertising may seem strange but let me tell you this: in the 90s, the stoic and militarized Toilet Duck went to battle against the shit stains in your toilet

every day should come with a different day between it where you just drift around and listen to music and read books, and maybe even drink vermouth and smoke cigarettes if you want, no one’s judging

"Nathan’s style channels a kind of rapturous Fitzgeraldian opulence, where loneliness is romantic, disenchantment beautiful and the world exists in sensuous splendor."

This weekend my WSJ Fiction Chronicle looks at new books by Adam Ehrlich Sachs and Patrick Nathan, but leads with Rachel Cusk's 'Parade', which to me read like a series of algebra problems. Gift link here: www.wsj.com/arts-culture...

“AI” is the culmination of the tech industry. Every time you use it, you destroy the environment, erode labor protections, endanger workers overseas, enrich the ruling class, and make something unforgivably worthless, all at the same time – and it's all hidden from you in a frictionless distraction.

Happy Bloomsday. You should read Ulysses. Anyone who tells you that you shouldn't bother with Ulysses is just trying to keep you from the fundamental truths that James Joyce proclaimed (that Ireland sucks and you should have more sex, weirder the better)

You can eat a cheeseburger a day for an entire year and your diet will still not have the greenhouse gas impact of one fucking billionaire flying his cars to Europe and back one time, can we please stop with the lie that this is an individual consumer responsibility problem not a systemic issue.
