Writer and critic, mostly contemporary art, sometimes food, always politics. New York Times and 4Columns, among other places. I’m surprisingly sweet. 🇨🇦

It used to be the case that you could not use wikipedia as a source in academic writing. We're very close to the point that you cannot use academic writing as a source on wikipedia.
“Giving no quarter to the greens”
I can’t even.
Honestly I miss so much about eating out in Manhattan. For good ethnic (lol) food now you have to go out to Queens, and sometimes Brooklyn. You used to be able to get that here, before the rent got too high.
Please let this happen.
How exactly would RFK Jr know if that map of the Middle East was perfect 🤔🤔🤔

Jesus Christ on the cross, “WHY AREN’T THE FECKLESS YOUTH PROTESTING” when the US has literally spent the last three yrs making campus protests near impossible is MIND BLOWING. If you think protests should be happening GO OUT AND PROTEST FFS. Students shouldn’t be your proxies here!
I’ve been talking about this forever—if you think 3/4 of Pete Hegseth’s and RFK JR’s political policy isn’t undiluted roid rage you’re crazy!

jesus christ man you're supposed to at least pretend the subject of your profile didn't write the lede himself
there is this restaurant in my hometown which has served the most perfect butter masala dosa for 25 yrs: a delicious thin, soft yet crisp dosa with the most delightful spiced filling folded in, with a tiny pat of butter on top.
The accompanying coconut chutneys are perfect.
I would kill for it.
RFK JR: One time, Trump grabbed a placemat, turned it over, took a Sharpie, and drew a perfect map of the Middle East. Then he marked the troop strength of every country along each border on that map. It challenged a lot of the assumptions I had been told about him.

BREAKING: Democrat projected to turn Mar-a-Lago blue.
Emily Gregory is projected to win the special election for the Florida State House—in Trump's own district.
it’s wild how much of the chattering class is invested in the idea that the democrats need a center-right stephen miller www.politico.com/news/magazin...
Yes?! 😭😭
“The events of the past three months seem almost perfectly engineered to spark campus unrest,” Rose Horowitch argues. “But campuses across the country—places where students colonized the quad to protest Israel’s war against Hamas—are strangely silent.”
In my opinion it is bad that seemingly every 55-year-old sexually frustrated man discovered you can get steroids in the mail from the internet at roughly the same exact time and I also think maybe people aren't talking about the societal impacts of that enough.
apparently Wikipedia has more rigorous standards than every university on the planet, university administrators, edtech enthusiasts, (certainly more than) AI bros, several prominent academic journals, and too many professors and teachers
after much deliberation and giving AI the benefit of the doubt, Wikipedia editors have had enough of AI slop. New policy bans LLM generated content, periodt www.404media.co/wikipedia-ba...
“In recent months, more and more administrative reports centered on LLM-related issues, and editors were being overwhelmed.”
just this week:
-- OpenAI killed Sora
-- Disney subsequently cancelled its investment in OpenAI
-- Wikipedia is now banning LLM-generated content
...tell me again how this is all "inevitable" and you have to "get on board or get left behind"?

NEW: Wikipedia has banned AI-generated content.
