I started watching Clarkson’s Farm the other night, the Top Gear of agriculture hosted by Jeremy Clarkson, who bought a 1000 acre estate in the Cotswolds in 2008 and then decided to farm it himself in 2019 when the local guy who managed it retired. In the first episode Jeremy buys a huge Lamborghini tractor, which is basically the only triumphant moment in the battle of man vs. nature that follows. You get the sense that Jeremy deeply regrets pitching the series in the first place. Meanwhile I'm hooked on browsing Lamborghini tractors online.

If you’re from brooklyn or new york city or just moved here, i know, this is cliche. But i! Don’t! Care! The truffle popcorn is addicting, even if I'm farting for the rest of the movie, it’s worth it. Plus they have cute little trailers to gab about with your date or friend, but i also go alone because nobody tried to have small talk with you at the movies and you can just disassociate peacefully in blissful high-power air conditioning on a hot nyc summer day. They have guest curators on a monthly basis and do fun screenings of old flicks. Highly recommend it. Nitehawk > Alamo.

I have another indie theater that I prefer because it’s cozier, has better vibes, is much closer to me, and everybody who works there is genuinely passionate about film. It’s not really anything special visually but it’s a beautiful institution and it’s so fun to be there ❤️
But this one is an old art deco theatre designed by architect John Eberson (he designed Loew’s Paradise in the Bronx and the Paradise Theatre in Chicago)! It’s pretty run down/poorly managed and staffed but it’s a gorgeous building and definitely worth visiting. Not my photos but included for illustrative purposes!!

Again, I'm using this category as an umbrella so I can list my favorite movies that I think by watching will make everyone's life better or at least distract you from whatever bullshit is going on in your own life for a moment, and put a smile on your face. Maybe you'll even relate to what the characters in the films are going through and you'll feel a little bit less alone and it will change your life forever. These are my favorite movies that I watch over and over again: An Unmarried Woman, Swingers, Annie Hall, Broken English, Girlfriends. Last Days of Disco, and Hannah and Her Sisters. And one of my favorite theaters to watch movies in in New York City is Metrograph. A sanctuary. A safe haven. The programming is extraordinary. And they have a wonderful restaurant upstairs called The Commissary. Run don't walk.

Czech photographer Marie Tomanova has dope style and takes beautiful flicks documenting NYC youth culture. She has a new monograph out at the end of September called New York, New York that I can’t wait to get. (Full disclosure: I’m in it lmao.) Marie has one of the most infectious senses of optimism that I’ve ever encountered, and her first book, Young American, caught fire when it came out in 2019 because of how hopeful and empowered her subjects appear. Like Young American, NY, NY is probably going to sell out and become one of those rare coffee table books that occasionally comes up on Japanese eBay for $1,000, so shoutout to Antwaun Sargent who’s bringing me back a copy from the Rencontres d'Arles photo festival where it was announced.

I went out of town for almost a month recently, and the only thing I wished I had packed was my Goshi exfoliating towel. I hang it in my shower and use it a couple times a week and it makes my skin feel clean clean. It’s the best $15 you’ll ever spend on grooming. The one I have is a limited edition Golf Wang x Goshi collaboration, which is hilarious, but Tyler has great skin so it checks out. My other exfoliation tip is Byredo hand scrub, which make your hands feel super soft and smell incredible.

Adidas let Kerwin Frost design a pair of Superstars that look five times as big as your shoe size. How cool is that?? I’ve never wanted to rock size 15 sneakers, but I can’t wait to get a pair of Superstuffeds. I’m just happy that a company as big as Adidas is letting fashion’s funniest dude loose in their design studio. If huge corporate brands must continue making clothes, they should stop making boring things and take risks on mavericks like Kerwin.
