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.
