Can’t believe A24 has already greenlit an InfoWars Elf movie.

I’ll never know if @slate.com Culture Gabfest stuck the landing like ‘The Sopranos’ or whiffed it like ‘Lost’ because @thehighsign.bsky.social, @juliaturner.bsky.social, & Stephen Metcalf can’t tell me on mic next week. Great show, great hosts. I’ll miss them every week. slate.com/podcasts/cul...

I’m sure this has been pointed out before, but the gush of images, words, and names in R.E.M.’s “It’s the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)” that was disorienting in 1987 is now our social feed in 2026. Don’t believe me? Listen to hear Tr*mp’s name: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0GF...

Anthropic is really sticking their logo into every nook and cranny of our lives, huh? www.thestranger.com/pride/a-germ...

Boots Riley has been trying to tell ppl this for a minute.

can’t believe a narcissist is being so publicly humiliated by a reflecting pool

I kept seeing the logo on the left and thought it was someone’s way of mocking AI. But no, the Claude icon is actually the same as Vonnegut’s famous asshole drawing??? 🤨

You had me at ENTIRELY PRINT.

Every one of these coverlines makes me wanna read this magazine. Who were the *Baby* Brat Packers?? Where are these Ollie North look-alikes now?

For our third print issue, @transform6789.bsky.social did a deep dive into white supremacist groups in 1980s SF and how their playbook influenced edge lords on social media and, in some cases, the Trump administration: sf.gazetteer.co/it-happened-...

Sad news about Mark Singer, which sent me back to this excellent interview/profile of Singer done during The New Yorker's Tina Brown era, much of which I still hazily recollect. creativenonfiction.org/writing/mr-p...

RIP Mark Singer, who wrote what is still one of the best Trump profiles in 1997: www.newyorker.com/magazine/199...

There are just so may great Mark Singer pieces. Here’s one on Errol Morris from 1989: www.newyorker.com/magazine/198...

Oh no! Mark Singer has been one of the most gifted magazine writers ever. And among the most decent, admirable people. In addition to his unforgettable profile of Ricky Jay, Mark wrote *the* piece about Trump that foresaw everything. Nearly 30 years ago: www.newyorker.com/magazine/199...

Forget Sinatra and his cold. For many of us, this is THE profile that did it.

Mother Nature is the biggest hack: www.politico.com/news/2026/06...

"WITNESS HISTORY IN DALLAS" is certainly a *choice* for an advertising slogan, FIFA.

This @kurtandersen.bsky.social remembrance of Gene Shalit is very good. We should all be so lucky to find someone who sees our potential and boosts us up like Gene did for Kurt: www.vulture.com/article/gene...

There's nothing wrong with the reflecting pools. I just took a swim and I feel fine!

People are making fun of Tr*mp for using bleach in the reflecting pool, but it’s actual a sacrifice for him not to use it to clean his robe and hood.

Investors in SpaceX are like

I think I might’ve already seen ‘Backrooms’? www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFLQ...

Every story I read about St*ph*n M*ll*r reminds me of Jimmy Iovine’s #1 management dictum: ”When the shit gets bigger than the cat, get rid of the cat.” www.nytimes.com/2026/06/15/u...

I guess someone at the CA Post is enjoying Leon Neyfakh’s ‘Only Fantasy’ podcast.

Wow, some serious 4D chess from Murdoch: www.latimes.com/archives/la-...

Last image from tonight (short film in the morning): this brother out here with his Singer sewing machine, gifting people a custom embroidery on their jerseys and hats with the name and the date, was more artistic than anything at Burning Man and ad gorgeous as a Caravaggio. Magic! Goodnight.

So, Bari definitely texted her congratulations to Elon, right?

I’m sure Tucker Carlson isn’t mourning David Hockney today.

Buying SpaceX? Have a ball!

Nice thing to see on my way home.

Of all the takes on Bari Weiss, Nick Bilton, and CBS News, Lowell Bergman’s in @columjournreview.bsky.social is the most quietly devastating: www.cjr.org/the-intervie...

What’s the point of being the richest man in the world if you can’t buy up and destroy every photo of your pre-transplant hair? www.nytimes.com/2026/06/11/b...

turns out Warhol didn't just make paintings of Albert Speer's Lichtdom; he made a whole series of Speer-related paintings for a massive international group show in Berlin in 1982 called Zeitgeist. Warhol also just liked Speer's work and had Leni Riefenstahl over for lunch 🙃 greg.org/archive/2026...

Remember Vanity Fair?

Robert Downey (a prince) is probably gesturing something from somewhere right now.
