Heaven. And, in its way, wholesome.
I was one of the voters; I think about half of my choices made it. Some great/good books here, a few bad ones, and a few that I would disqualify on genre grounds (sorry, Donna Tartt, Mick Herron, and John Le Carre). But overall, this will prompt a lot of fun reading! www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
This is the way. This is ALSO what "Vote blue no matter who" means.
...and here's a salient bit from it that seems darker today than when I wrote it thirteen years ago.
If anyone's curious, here's the very long story I wrote on the making of Her. www.vulture.com/2013/10/spik...
There are no villains in that story imo. From what I overheard of Morton's work, she was going for something more remote, disembodied, slightly mysterious and less virtual-girlfriend. I think Jonze honestly came to realize that he wanted something else. But it'd be fun to see/hear an alternate cut.
I was moved to read Samantha Morton talk about getting fired from the Spike Jonze movie Her in this piece. She was on the set when I was there reporting a story--her work as the voice was done live, and her commitment to what she was doing on the film was extraordinary. deadline.com/2026/08/sama...
"Unfortunately, I can't give anyone a view into my heart and mind." Why? Are you unfamiliar with them? Ellison's whole "I'm not allowed to express my specific political opinions here, but trust me" approach is transparent nonsense. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/04/o...
Obsession with guns and hatred of women is, I guess, a viable brand for the GOP.
Every paragraph of this story is more of a jaw-dropper than the last.
Earlier tonight, @michellegoldberg.bsky.social read *another* quote from this weirdo that reflected the same general sentiment.
www.sacurrent.com/news/san-ant...
Every single Democrat running for the House or the Senate should run on this. Loudly.
This is exactly right. Spider-Man exists outside the Marvel phenomenon (whatever remains of it) the same way that, to a lesser (in terms of box office) extent, Batman exists outside of the DC phenomenon (whatever remains of it).
I am completely unqualified to judge Emily Wilson's translation as a translation, but it is extraordinarily accessible and readable, and both the 100 pages of intro material and the end notes (you can dip in and out of them) are so inviting and reader-friendly they feel like a private tutorial.
I finished reading The Odyssey last night. It was somehow not on any syllabus in high school or college, and I avoided it for decades, assuming that you couldn't just read it but that it had to be taught to you. Very belatedly, I'm here to report that you can read it! It teaches itself to you. >
I have been alternately reading and listening to Emily Wilson's Odyssey translation. The audiobook is read (beautifully) by Claire Danes, but if you play it at 1.2x, she somehow becomes Claire Danes in Homeland.
Well, we're NEVER gonna call that by its new name.
Just a bit south of Philharmonic Hall.
I live in a neighborhood where people still aren't sure that "Avenue of the Americas" is going to stick.
To be clear, no writer on pop culture gave me, as a young reader, a greater education in how to develop an engaging argumentative voice--one's own voice, not an imitation. I still think about her pieces all the time, although not as holy writ. So that was written with love. Mostly.
