Sensitive Skin

For almost 30 years, we have featured writing, art and music by artists famous, infamous, from William S. Burroughs to Richard Hell to John Lurie to Alex Katz to Eileen Myles to Gary Indiana. This 300-page anthology collects stories, poems and essays, published between 2016-18.

@lindsaybitcoin WFH FTW, unless you really need the $. Actual work done in a 9-6 day: pointless meetings, chatting, etc, maybe 5 if you’re lucky. Add a couple of hours for prep & commuting - it’s 5 hours a day vs 11 at the office. No time to eat properly, exercise, exhausted when u get home.

There’s this discourse going on on TikTok about whether you should take a $120k salary fully remote or a $240k salary 5 days in office and it’s wild because theres only 1 correct answer and it’s incredibly obvious.

@dlongenecker1 Top 3 American novel of all time. It’s about the social upheaval caused by sudden massive technological changes, leading to unsustainable wealth disparity, racism & xenophobia. More relevant than ever.

Just finished re-reading The Great Gatsby. Am I the only one who thinks it is pretentious over-written tosh by a philandering lush?

@mrmikeMTL December 2000, when Bush was awarded the election by the Supreme Court.

Can anyone pin-point the exact moment where everything in society just got substantially worse?

@thewatchpod @ChrisRyan77 @MalloryRubin Started writing this last year & forgot about it; you guys inspired me to finish it! Here’s my love letter to Landman - I think you’ll enjoy it, thanks! open.substack.com/pub/bernardmei…

New pod with @ChrisRyan77 and @MalloryRubin: 📺 The first four episodes of ‘Stranger Things’ Season 5 📺 Is ‘Landman’ the most entertaining show on TV? open.spotify.com/episode/4ia8rK…

@mattjcardoza Would give the Clippers a frp, & another frp to the Pels. Clippers get a guy who might be good in a different system, worst case a salary dump. Pels need picks. Dubs need to use those picks NOW - get Steph some help! Might be 50 years till they get a player like him again.

Trade of the Day Warriors receive: Ivica Zubac (18m)c Nic Batum (5.6m) and Trey Murphy (25m) Clippers receive: Jonathan Kuminga (22.5m) Pelicans receive: Brandon Podzemski, Moses Moody, Buddy Hield and an unprotected first rounder

@anthonyVslater Gui Santos legacy game incoming! TJD gets a 20/20! Pat Spencer will break Klay’s record of 13 made 3s! LOL! Kerr definitely sending a message - not sure if it’s to the team, Lacob or Adam Silver. Maybe all of the above!

Steph Curry is out tonight in Miami after tweaking his ankle twice on this road trip. Jimmy Butler is questionable with a lower back strain. Draymond Green and Buddy Hield are questionable with an illness. Jonathan Kuminga remains out. Al Horford is out.

@vurnt22 Not to mention Jaco - at 7? No Jack Bruce? Or even Phil Lesh? Terrible list.

The fact that Larry Graham is not number one on that list tells you everything you need to know.

@BluManGroove @esidery Don’t trade Moody. JK, Buddy, GPII adds up to $40 million or thereabouts. Now sweeten it with some frps and see what you can do. Gotta wait till Jan 15 to trade JK. And I’d rather go after Trey & Herb!

@esidery So you are proposing that the Warriors are going to trade Draymond in one of these potential deals? Or would you recommend they trade Kuminga, Moody and Buddy to Sac for Sabonis. Seams a bit far fetched to make either salary work.

The all-in Warriors will be a team to monitor ahead of the trade deadline. Golden State needs to take another big swing on the market to vault into legit contender status. Anthony Davis and Domantas Sabonis have been floated around in league circles as potential trade targets.

@sma197153 @TheBBallSage Yes but: 1. We have some really sweet post-Steph frps 2. Have you seen the Pelican’s recent trades, lol? JK, Podz, Buddy, GPII and those picks can get something done, maybe not both Trey and Herb, but at least enough for one of them.

@TheBBallSage The problem is the Warriors don't have players of equal value to give up

Ain't no way you want the Warriors to improve and think Trey and Herb don't put us on a higher tier... Smdh...

@MarcGrandi Post, Dray, Jimmy, Moses, Steph. Podz & JK to run second unit. Play Al and Dray at C as necessary. Give GPII minutes to Will. Stop playing TJD and Pat. Shop JK, Buddy, filler & picks for whatever of our needs (ball handler, C, shooting, perimeter D) can be met.

Moses Moody has been awesome tonight. Just a reminder that the Warriors went 16-3 in the regular season last year when they started Steph Curry, Brandin Podziemski, Jimmy Butler, Moses Moody, and Draymond Green. Take from that what you will.

@JamesIvings I travel a lot & - it depends. Hotels are low floor, low ceiling. If you choose your Airbnb carefully, eg only using superhosts w hi rating it’s generally MUCH better than 1 cramped room w a mini fridge & a microwave.

everyone who travels a lot knows it's because Airbnbs are consistently worse than hotels

@vurnt22 That’s wild, had no idea! My wife was pals with Hilly during her CBGBs rock n roll days, 85-95.

Coincidentally CBGB’s owner, Hilly Krystal, was the Vanguard ’s manager when Coltrane’s legendary quartet was setting everything in sight alight in the 60’s.

@unusual_whales Lol

BREAKING: Nearly a million New Yorkers to reportedly flee NYC as Mamdani becomes mayor — possibly igniting mass exodus, per NYP

@kenzofuku He’ll lead the team to some excellent lottery picks, which is probably what the FO wants after Steph retires.

Draymond Green had a long answer on Brandin Podziemski’s desire to lead the team once him and Steph Curry retire. “With him I say ‘Be careful.’ The more you tell people the more they use it against you... We believe that he’s going to be one of the guys that take the torch…”

@wufbro @dailydirtnap My kids are out of the house and I’d love to downsize. But at current mortgage rates, I would gain exactly NOTHING by moving from my 2500sf home to a 1500sf home in the same area! I could move to a less $ area - but I like it here! THAT’S why nobody’s downsizing!

@dailydirtnap And boomers also aren't selling their houses to downsize at their age like prior generations. They think their ancient, outdated, dilapidated home is a gold mine.

Ran into my mother-in-law this weekend. 80 years old 100% aggressive growth stocks No bonds You would be surprised at how common this is.

@nickgerli1 Heh this building is on literally the worst corner in SF. Developers did their best to gentrify Market & 6th, but were foiled by Covid & wfh. For the Fox News fans, 90% of SF is lovely - when they want to show its worst, this is where they send the camera crews.

1) On this listing, the current owner purchased it for $820,000 in 2015. And is now selling for $499,000 - a 39% loss.

Home values on some San Francisco condos are down 40% the last decade. Might actually be a good time to buy.

@rbcarlisle @realEstateTrent Ugh disgusting! How can you stand it Bruce?

@sensitivemag @realEstateTrent Yes, my home in Tiburon is a hell hole. $25 million homes mar the landscape. The views suck. Entitled children on 35mph e-bikes own the streets. Moving to Novatomerica soon as I can.

Hands down one of the best areas to live in the world

@SpenceRogers @awealthofcs You spelled gold wrong.

@awealthofcs This is a "fiat is dying" pump and the "market is resetting to the Bitcoin standard".

Gold is at all time highs Money market assets are at all time highs Stocks are at all time highs Housing prices at all time highs This isn’t an everything bubble This is an everyone has too much money bubble
