How Bots Took Over Our Lives
How Bots Took Over Our Lives During the 2016 election, much of the country was introduced to the concept of internet bots for the first time. Now, just a decade later, it feels like they’re everywhere. Read Full Article »
How Bots Took Over Our Lives
All the way back in 2016, when Donald Trump won his first Presidential election, many people had trouble understanding how, exactly, it could have happened. The line of inquisition extended to the political class, where recriminations from talking heads on MSNBC about Hillary Clinton’s ineffective campaigning and tone-deaf messaging abounded.
With A.I., Anyone Can Be an Influencer
The virtual influencer is not, strictly speaking, new. In 2016, a C.G.I. avatar named Lil Miquela appeared on Instagram, presenting as an aspiring musician from Southern California. Miquela, who was created by Trevor McFedries, has hazel eyes, olive skin, freckles, and a tasteful tooth gap; she often wears her brown hair in twin buns with pin-straight bangs.
From the NFL to the MLB, Male Athletes Are Wearing High Jewelry on the Field
There’s a moment every baseball player dreams of as a child: it’s the 9th inning in the deciding game of the World Series, his team is down to its last outs. He steps to the plate, hangs the bat on his shoulder, and waits for the right pitch. He smacks a home run and becomes an instant hero. Los Angeles Dodgers player Miguel Rojas did almost exactly that last month. While his late-game heroics enraptured sports fans, something else captured much of the internet’s attention.
The Most Dangerous Genre
The Schwarzenegger version of “The Running Man” is one of my favorite movies. There’s a deep nineteen-eighties corniness to it, but no easy morality. Most of the characters are trying to make their way through an authoritarian regime in one piece, and don’t have a propulsive interest in changing the world for the better until they’re effectively guaranteed that doing so won’t have a material impact on their lives.
Among the Talibros
Three hostages kneel in front of a camera, their hands tied behind their backs and their heads covered with black plastic bags that obscure their faces. Looming behind them is a group of bearded, glowering militants, dressed in tunics and turbans, some holding assault rifles. “We have one message for America,” the man standing in the middle says, with one hand resting on the shoulder of the kneeling figure in front of him, the other hand jabbing the air to emphasize his speech.
The Life and Death of Conspiracy Cinema
Books & the Arts / March 31, 2025 The Life and Death of Conspiracy Cinema Why did Hollywood lose interest in making paranoid thrillers like The Parallax View and Three Days of the Condor? Was it a change in the culture? Or a change in the marketplace?
How a Gizmo Used to Photograph Taco Ads Took Over the Red Carpet
On a drizzly recent Sunday night, the Art Deco lobby of 30 Rockefeller Plaza was clogged with celebrities attending “Saturday Night Live” ’s fiftieth-anniversary show. Taran Killam, who played Donald Trump on the show in 2015, strolled in wearing a double-breasted tux and stopped cold when he noticed a curly-haired man in a green suit standing beside a rig that looked like a ten-foot-tall Swiss Army knife. “Oh, here it is,” Killam said.
A pressão por encontrar o presente perfeito é esmagadora. Mas o número de listas e dicas também é
Gwyneth Paltrow tem um. Amanda Seyfried e as Kardashianstambém. Revistas como New York, GQ e Vogue publicam vários. A loja na rua também lançou um, assim como praticamente todo escritor de lifestyle no Substack — até mesmo aqueles que disseram que realmente não queriam. O New York Times tem alguns, também. A cada temporada de festas, a pressão de encontrar o presente perfeito para alguém pode parecer tão esmagadora quanto o número de catálogos de presentes tentando oferecer soluções.

La batalla por los orígenes del techno By T. M. Brown » MedellinStyle Freedom :: Dancefloor and Experimental Electronic Music
Cuando se abrieron las puertas del Museo de Música Electrónica Moderna ( momem ) en la plaza Hauptwache de Frankfurt, el año pasado, parecía que la música de club finalmente estaba recibiendo su merecido. momem fue catalogado como el primer museo del mundo para celebrar el techno, y finalmente le dio al género un hogar oficial en Alemania.
The Battle Over Techno’s Origins
When the doors opened to the Museum of Modern Electronic Music (MOMEM) in Frankfurt’s Hauptwache square, last year, it seemed that club music was finally getting its due. MOMEM was billed as the world’s first museum to celebrate techno, finally giving the genre an official home in Germany, the country where the pulsing untz of kick drums and snares found a foothold in the global music scene.

Quarantine OST (May 23rd, 2020)
wElComE bAcK tO QuAranTinE oSt, I genuinely don’t have much to say this week! And actually had to rush some of the music descriptions this week so apologies if you were dying to read 1000 words of exposition on a Larry Heard mix today. It’s a long weekend—for most people—which is nice.

Quarantine OST (May 8th, 2020)
Welcome Back to Quarantine OST, Oof, it’s been a week. I think everyone is feeling a bit of psychic and spiritual exhaustion and we’re buckling under the pressure of projected normalcy. This is all tough, let yourself admit it’s tough even if you know you don’t have it the toughest. One of the byproducts of admitting to absolute and relative struggle is empathy, and we can all stand to have a bit more of that in our lives. Be good to each other. Make some scallion pancakes and xian bing.
Quarantine OST (April 24th, 2020
Welcome back to Quarantine OST. This week was a weird one. I feel so removed from the economic impact of COVID as a I ended up taking a full-time job for the first time in a few years after freelancing for a long time. I got to leave the scramble and hustle of trying to drum up work behind, and ended up on the other end of the equation where I get to assign and pay freelancers to do what I used to do.

Krenov-style ‘Memories Box’
Built with love. The wild apple top was the starting point for this “memories box” I made for my wife. The rest of the box is of Swiss pear. Wood is the starting point of inspiration for these boxes infused with the past. In my mind, this article goes to the root of why we work wood. It is about the philosophy of creating things in wood and the approach more so than the technical application of skill.

Philadelphia Flyers Inconsistency Is The Story of First Month
One month into the 2018-2019 season, the Philadelphia Flyers have a record of 7-7-1. They’re an inconsistent team thus far (as their record indicates). To date, they haven’t had a full 60-minute effort. Their 3-1 record on the recent west coast swing is hopefully a harbinger of things to come. The first two to three weeks featured some of the most unstructured play in the Dave Hakstol era. Forward support to their defenseman when losing possession was nonexistent.

Philadelphia Flyers Defenseman Travis Sanheim: Season in Review
Rookie defenseman Travis Sanheim had an interesting rookie season. Limited to only 49 regular season games played, Sanheim showed flashes of what he can become. Unfortunately for Sanheim, there was quite a bit of ugly play prior to being demoted to the AHL. The primary issues in his game are in the defensive zone. Specifically: play reading/recognition, gap control, puck watching, assignment switches, net front defence, and a relative lack of active stick work.

Philadelphia Flyers Robert Hagg: Season in Review
Robert Hagg had an up-and-down rookie season in the NHL. The defense-first defenseman showed some flashes of what he can become as an NHL player. Specifically, Hagg has tight gaps in the defensive zone, an active stick that cuts off passing and shooting lanes, plus physicality, and high-end defensive awareness. There is some offensive upside to his game as well.

The Philadelphia Flyers Should Trade Wayne Simmonds
The Wayne Simmonds situation is one to keep an eye on this season. Should the Philadelphia Flyers sign him to a short or long-term deal, trade him for assets, or let him walk in free agency? Ron Hextall has quite the dilemma on his hands. There is little to suggest Hextall will let Simmonds walk in free agency. In that event that this comes to pass, it’d be a case of asset mismanagement. What do the Flyers really have in Simmonds?

Nolan Patrick: An Up-And-Down Year For The Philadelphia Flyers Centre
Flyers rookie center Nolan Patrick had an up-and-down first NHL season. The surgery he had during the summer certainly impacted his play. Furthermore, there is always an adjustment when a player makes the jump from juniors to the NHL. For the first half of the season, Patrick looked to be a bit out of his depth. He did not appear to have his legs back and it showed.

Nick Shore: Fourth Line Center Option for the Philadelphia Flyers
Nick Shore is an underrated center in the NHL. Ryan Stimson’s recent article highlights his attributes well. The goal here is to expand upon his work to see how Shore would fit in the Flyers lineup. Jori Lehtera is the Flyers current fourth line center. The 2017-2018 season was a rough one for Lehtera. The NHL is getting faster by the day and it was very clear that Lehtera doesn’t have the speed necessary to succeed.

For the Philadelphia Flyers, James van Riemsdyk Brings a Scoring Touch
The first day of NHL Free Agency brought back a familiar face to the Philadelphia Flyers. The familiar face just so happens to be former 2nd overall pick James van Riemsdyk. The left winger spent the past six seasons with the Toronto Maple Leafs. As a member of the Leafs, he was instrumental in his team’s goal scoring. Van Riemsdyk ranks 5th in goals scored among left wingers since the lockout-shortened 2012-2013 season. This is where he provides the most value to his teams.
