I never do "Here's what I wrote this year," because you only have to go to our site and scroll through the roughly 4,000 posts I write every year, but nothing will make me prouder than reintroducing the fabulous Harlow to the world. It's the best thing I've written in years

Harlow's still here

Important work
A very important thread. When I was probably no more than 10, I saw this picture of the woman known as Harlow in the Philly Inquirer. A little babygay, I was shocked that such a glamour queen could live in my hometown and even more shocked to see her described as "a former man."

Music critics have gotten awfully nice lately. A little too nice, according to Wesley Morris. On “Cannonball,” Wesley invites The New Yorker critic Kelefa Sanneh to discuss how pop music criticism has lost its edge. nyti.ms/3WKVsjV

Jason Blum's take on AI sucks. an AI takeover isn't inevitable, and treating it as such (while also referring to filmmaking as "content creation," smdh) helps AI companies promote the lie that their deeply unprofitable, destructive tech is more powerful and useful than it actually is.

Far from the Max Martin-assisted pop juggernaut fans expected, this soft-rock paean to domestic bliss is slight on tunes and still seethes with grievance. And the less said about her fiance’s ‘magic wand’, the better
