Fitzcarraldo is my favourite publishing house out there right now (& Other Stories comes in close second) so it was so cool seeing them featured in the New Yorker!
Including this screenshot of their founder giving Sheila Heti fashion advice cause I find it funny.

When I was a kid I was obsessed with making funny captions for the images on the back of The New Yorker. There was a competition where you would send in your funny caption and there was a chance it would appear in the next issue. I never won.
My love for this magazine was reignited recently when I read an excellent profile piece on Fiona Apple. It was published just prior to the release of Fetch the Bolt Cutters (2020) and written by one of my favorite TV critics, Emily Nussbaum. Piece can be found in the attached link.
More recently I've been going through the lists what the magazine considers the best media of the year. Movies, books, records, most of them are good. It's great to get out of an internet bubble where all people do is listen to shit posted on /mu/, and bolded on rym; to listen the experts as it were.

In fact they’re working against you, especially women of colour. 84% of Tinder users are men, Bumble’s earnings have gone down hugely since its IPO (thereby further increasing their need to make a profit off subscriptions), Hinge is hiding hot people behind a paywall. People are sick of getting lovebombed and ghosted.
But we don’t need them—there’s more to life than apps—and people are beginning to seek connections in person again.
