My latest piece is a reported essay in the pages of New York Magazine and now, online. www.vulture.com/article/miss...

vulture.comMiss Piggy Is Our Last Movie StarLike Mae West and other classic Hollywood icons, Miss Piggy plays with femininity in delightful, contradictory ways.

I’m gonna walk this back a smidge. OBV a swing... but in absence of clean definitions the @MLB should adopt a "tie goes the runner"-style philosophy on not ending World Series games like this. Brewers would have him soon anyway. Let him swing again. Ambiguity tarnishes a victory. So fix the rule.

For 3 glorious months there was this dude working the register at the dollar general across the street from me who’d always look at your checkout, say “nah that’s too much for all that” and deduct some random amount

To folks who follow me on Bluesky & appreciate the journalism I do. Can you please read the EPA story and post on social media platforms if you are so moved. This kind of work is important. But it only matters if people read it and engage with it. Here's the link. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/c...

First film you saw at the cinema. The real first one, not the pretend one you tell people! Mine: The Empire Strikes Back, 1980, Wigan. We were near the front and I can still remember how massive the AT-ATs looked, looming over us out of the snow :) Film, year, where, and whatever stuck with you.

Keen eyed observers will note Washboard Chaz has two fliers for two different clubs in this photo from 2011. He was so ubiquitous back then there’s even a joke about it in #LaundryDay: when WWOZ’s live-wire is heard while Dee puts on makeup, every club has either Chaz or Alex McMurray playing. 😉📽️

It's called film "footage" because camera operators initially held the cameras with their feet. That changed after a film shoot in 1931, when an operator got a foot cramp and was forced to hold the camera in his hands. The "footage" he got that day was extraordinary. That man's name? Hans Cameraman.

~45min in… What a great piece of late 70s culture, maybe the saddest. Definitely explains how Reagan got elected, with the endless parade of witless cops, sadistic cowboys, and mouth-breathing fat cats torturing our service industry heroes. Reminds me of Eddie Murphy in LIFE, crazy underrated film

It's crazy that this band lives walking distance from me and yet I learned about them from Jeff Tweedy's newsletter

I went down to New Orleans to profile Twisted Teens Come for the answers to those pervasive questions online (How do you write three addicting albums in one year? Who even are they and where did they come from?) and stay for the stories of lifelong trainhoppers pitchfork.com/story/twiste...

I'm last to the Shane Gillis discourse, but here I am. Let's go. There's much more to be said than can fit here in a 90 second clip so for my full comments, listen to the intro to this week's Savage Lovecast, out now!

I used to rock out to Flood (on cassette) with my grandma on road trips through the Pacific Northwest. Extremely cherished memory. And I sing Dr. Worm to my kid, and they were the best concert I’ve ever been to, and you won’t ever convince me TMBG is not an absolute top tier band
