I looked into what's making it act this way. The short version is, pirated metadata turns out to be a bad thing to build a class action settlement on vox.com/culture/487860…

So the Anthropic copyright settlement website turned out to be extremely weird and glitchy! This moment is living rent free in my mind

I wrote about Lena Dunham, how she became a symbol of cancel culture, and whether we've all changed since 2014 vox.com/culture/487006…

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Yesteryear BUT I thought the ending fell flat. Let's talk tradwives! vox.com/culture/486360…

There are a couple new memoirs out about the idea of embracing ugliness as its own force. One of the things they really brought home to me is how much looksmaxxing is about running from our fear of mortality. I went into it here vox.com/the-highlight/…

Radicalized myself into becoming a fervent partisan of the casting Oscar with this one vox.com/culture/482212…

Back on my bullshit in re: how the 2000s messed us all up. This time, it's the Epstein edition. vox.com/culture/482207…

I did a quick rundown on former prince Andrew's decades of scandals, and why Charles is not interested in protecting him the way their mother was vox.com/culture/479781…

please, my Wuthering Heights thoughts … there are so many of them … vox.com/culture/479314…

Btw, The Rose Field itself is extremely messy and breaks the mythology in quite a few places, but I also had a ton of fun reading it. They call that the Doctor Who paradox.

Philip Pullman's new book finishing up Lyra's story came out yesterday! I wrote about how Pullman fits into the past few decades of American book banning vox.com/culture/465906…

I did a close reading of those weird ICE recruitment ads to see how they're selling themselves vox.com/culture/464642…

@blgtylr god that booooook 😭😭😭😭

@blgtylr Brandon which one is it to you!

I also have a close reading of the letter scene from Persuasion, because truly is there a more romantic love scene on the books vox.com/culture/2017/2…

For more Austen appreciation, please enjoy this yearbook-style list of Jane Austen superlatives vox.com/culture/2017/7…

It is Jane Austen Appreciation Year always in my heart, but especially this year, when she turns a sunny 250 years old. To celebrate, I went digging through Mansfield Park to learn about what we know about what Austen thought of slavery. vox.com/culture/463959…

To me, the most interesting thing about Life of a Showgirl is how plainly it features Taylor saying that actually, she loves being famous. I wrote about it here vox.com/culture/463721…
