"Russo captures the peculiar mixture of narcissism, insecurity, intellectual performance and market calculation that defines many contemporary art spaces." Excellent review of Emmalea Russo's MOON PAPERS by Adam Schrader for @TheUrgentMatter @arcadepub urgentmatter.press/emmalea-r…

Emmalea Russo skewers the art world in 'The Moon Papers'

The Bellmer-Furio family saga continues as a cult-like collective attempts to launch an artificial moon, skewering the narcissism, market logic and absurdities of the art world.

My heart breaks for the good men who’ve been reading in public for years. The sweet guys who never wanted any part of this male reading culture war but are now on the frontline. They’re at risk of being labeled “performative” and lumped in with the bad men who read. I hope they don’t get radicalized.

There are a great many laments over the death of book review sections in America. I share those. But it's time to talk solutions. @the_met_review reviews books regularly and is trying to fill the void. It can be done. Be part of the solution. metropolitanreview.org/p/rev…

Reviews Can Be Saved

Using facial recognition tech, the Knicks surveilled a trans woman, tracking her every move out of fear she'd show up on MSG's tv broadcast And they can do it to any "enemy" of Jim Dolan, who's built his own deep state. From @NoahShachtman & me @WIRED wired.com/story/madison-squa…

The Shocking Secrets of Madison Square Garden’s Surveillance Machine

Famously vengeful Knicks owner Jim Dolan has long spied on people at his iconic arenas. WIRED goes deep inside the operation that allegedly tracked a trans woman, lawyers, protesters, and more.

People DO want to lead literary lives, read physical media, and have venues in their communities that build authentic relationships, as well as to learn about the world around them without an algorithm determining their interests — all while supporting small and local businesses and doing so on their own terms, as it turns out.
