Do y'all remember that movie Julie and Julia? Salon is where that lady Julie Powell launched her one year of cooking Julia Child’s recipes blog in like 2002. It’s wild to see it go, despite never really evolving. And it always makes me sad to see a publication shutter.

Today, after 31 years, we are saddened to announce that Salon is ceasing publication. It has been an extraordinary privilege. salon.com/2026/11/05/goodbye…

this is why I love working at @VanityFair yesterday, I saw half our staff clustered around our fashion correspondent's desk poring over this photo. As José puts it, "The image has several discrepancies. The style and make of the Chanel Flap bag is inconsistent with others the brand has sold, and the Valentino shoes in question appear askew in proportion; their straps have several punched holes that the authentic Valentino style does not." AI image detectors confirmed that yes, Olivia Reingold used an AI-generated image to make her point, without a drop of disclosure. Wild!!!! vanityfair.com/story/midterm…

I’m excited for Deb Haaland and Gina Hinojosa. Xavier Becerra may be Mexican American and have a Spanish surname, but that’s a corporate democrat who has made concessions for ICE.

Okay, upon learning new information, it looks like Deb Haaland has publicly supported Israel in 2019. Even if she has changed her position, and that would require a public retraction of prior statements in light of the genocide. Disappointed. nitter.cf/nickwestes/status/1126…

We urged Deb Haaland to attend a delegation to Palestine after her remarks last year when she celebrated the Nakba, calling the expulsion of nearly 800k Palestinians from their homes in 1948 as “parallel” to to the Natives getting the right to vote in NM. forward.com/fast-forward/423…

Thrilled to share the cover of my forthcoming book, Scripted Death. A transnational genealogy of medical diagnoses that shape police training, courtroom procedures, and the staging of biological evidence across the long wars on crime, poverty, and drugs. Preorder now :)

It looks like the Green Party has flipped a state legislative seat in Hawaii! It comes in #HD14, a Harris+16 seat covering the Lahaina area. Pāʻele Kiakona was a major activist during the wildfires there and won major union support for his campaign. He beat a Democrat and the Democrat-turned-Republican incumbent (who only got less than 20% of the vote)

Tangentially related but this is why people hit a wall when it comes to getting into underground music scenes and subcultures via hearing it online as opposed to in person. There’s communities, languages, lineages yr missing out on if yr not part of real life communities

The worst thing you can do is “develop taste” through social media or online means only. That’s cognitive offloading, where you adopt tasteslop content. You must develop your aesthetic position, which is a politic. That comes from critical knowledge of art periods and lineages
