I reviewed Nathan Kernan's long-awaited biography of James Schuyler for The Nation www.thenation.com/article/cult...
The Miracles of James Schuyler
Nathan Kernan’s biography of the New York School poet tracks the development of his serene and joyful work alongside the chaos of his life.

Our new magazine, Equator, is officially out in the world — and here @equatormag.bsky.social
Sign up for preview emails, donate, and get tickets to our launch event in London: equator.org
A group of high-profile writers is launching a new magazine called Equator “to challenge the reigning assumption that global events should be narrated by and for the West,” according to a description shared with Semafor. Its founding team includes Pankaj Mishra, Mohsin Hamid, Nesrine Malik, Samanth Subramanian, and Suzy Hansen, with editing by Guardian long reads creator Jonathan Shainin. “In a post-American era, the task of a new magazine is to engage the rich variety of this historical moment on its own terms, without compulsively asking ‘What does it mean for the US?’” the nonprofit outlet, which is primarily based in London, will ask.

My latest for @chronicle.com: Charlie Kirk's assassination on a college campus is a catastrophe for higher education and will likely only intensify the Trump administration's war on American colleges and universities.
Charlie Kirk’s Death Is a Catastrophe for Higher Ed
Things were already bad. They’re about to get worse.

My latest for @newrepublic.com: I went back to Ernest Becker’s Pulitzer-Prize winning 1974 book “The Denial of Death” to see if it had insights in an age of AI, nightmare tech bros, and the return of Trump in the wake of Covid-19. Turns out it does, though not in the way Becker quite foresaw:
The One Percent’s Fear of Death Is Wreaking Havoc on the World
Ernest Becker’s The Denial of Death posited that we act out in antisocial ways—and even embrace authoritarians—because we cannot face our own unavoidable demise.

Worst thing to happen to book crit was getting mercilessly synced to pub dates. writer gets 97% of the coverage they're ever getting by the end of week 2, & if the book is widely reviewed (positive or not) in prestige places some of your would-be audience burns out on takes & skips the book itself.

Read our blog to get an overview of the Anthropic settlement. There’s an FAQ for authors, too. We hope you find it helpful.

I remember writing a paper for my college Intro to Film course analyzing a sequence from The Magnificent Ambersons. Maybe I'll do the same with these new AI scenes

‘David Lynch had a peculiarly subtractive aesthetic. Just as the more you see, the less comprehensible it becomes, the less you can see (the lower the lighting, the poorer the quality) the more there is to look for.’
