life quandaries

The photographer Kathy Shorr’s new book, “Limousine,” features images of those she drove as a chauffeur in the ’80s. The book “offers a delightful time-capsule view of a bygone era in fashion,” @alex_lily writes. “And of a bygone New York, too.” nyer.cm/sOwfOey

"The Brutalist" is out today—in the New Yorker, I profile the film's director, Brady Corbet newyorker.com/magazine/2024/…

@briasoboojie @vcunningham @frynaomifry Delighted to hear it! And thanks for sharing your thoughts on the show, we are always listening (but not in a creepy way)!

Thanks to @vcunningham @frynaomifry @Alex_Lily for getting me through the year. This was my most listened to podcast!

#NowListening Critics at Large: The Year of the Flop (LIVE) via @NewYorker open.spotify.com/episode/7mlish…

@frynaomifry Naomi.

let me understand—you're telling me the guy who did phone hacking *wasn't* a great choice to run The Washington Post?

In this sick and depraved world it is my duty to let you know that there are still tickets available to see us CRITICS AT LARGE talk to JULIO TORRES this SUNDAY OCTOBER 27 at the NEW YORKER FESTIVAL so please do come nyer.cm/zCmbo30

@aneasybee @NewYorker We absolutely love to hear it! (Not that you've been out of sorts—but the remedy is on the way.)

.@Alex_Lily tags along as the artist Adam Dressner takes his self-made painting cart into the park to make some art—and a stranger's day.

I interviewed Rachel Bloom—her special, "Death, Let Me Do My Special," is out tomorrow—about the big stuff: birth, death, dogs, and cum trees. newyorker.com/culture/the-ne…

@paul_vitello @JonathanBlitzer I'm really very nice!

@Alex_Lily @JonathanBlitzer Time traveling via scrolling, i just read this after reading your somewhat scolding review of Creation Lake in the New Yorker. Prepared to dislike you, I changed my mind — which counts as a good day for any reader.

If you'd like some levity, I wrote a little romantic comedy for the August issue of Vogue about postponing my wedding, featuring a (gentle) roasting of @JonathanBlitzer. vogue.com/article/weddin…

Me on "the real Europe" the long-con of fiction in this week's @NewYorker magazine newyorker.com/magazine/2024/…

I kind of feel like they should give Bob Caro the Nobel

and a very happy indictment day to you and you and you and you

@mattkatz00 @WNYC @Gothamist @NYPR_Union Thanks for your amazing work. NYC is sad to lose you!

Goodbye NYC: I’ve taken a voluntary layoff from @WNYC/@Gothamist, with severance (❤️ you @NYPR_Union). It’s been a privilege to talk on the radio for 11 years: I filed ~2,000 stories, guest-hosted 5 shows, exposed abuse in ICE & at Rikers, helped win a Peabody for #Bridgegate 1/3

For this week's Talk of the Town, I wrote about Adam Dressner, who quit corporate law to become an artist and hasn't looked back. His show "Hello Stranger" is at Grand Central through Thursday 9/26. Go catch a train and check it out. newyorker.com/magazine/2024/…

@mgoldsm perfect time to start a dream journal

the little ubiquitous pad and pen found on hotel nightstands … what kind of notes are people taking on vacation

@EmilyGouldNYmag in my prayers since Luckygate

@Alex_Lily save a prayer for the people who run our social

only something so insane can unite us all, it's a beautiful day in America

@JordanPfot Glad to have you listening!

@BBoParis Extremely glad that we can be of such service! And if you want to join in on the most fun the media Twitterati has had in recent memory, look up RFK Jr. and "affair"
