The extraordinary guitarist Shane Parish has new music out today called (and sold to offset the cost of) Dental Work. What can I say about this guy except he calls to mind Neil Young, Eno, John Fahey, Alice Coltrane and Chet Baker and is all his own https://t.co/Wyu14mfsme

NEW: The biggest trading firm is so secretive it has no CEO or board of directors. Jane Street’s dominance means its leaders matter across the world, so we spent months trying to figure out who’s who. Here’s a gift link. Please read and share it

This essay rocked my world when it came out, very much time for a reread

@dtortorici @elenasb_ I was thinking yesterday about how good it is (as a reader but really I mean writer) to have a kind of personal canon of favorite stories to read and re-read. One of the best kinds of collections

@civ_enjoy Thank you for flagging. Will tell some colleagues and try to get that fixed

[Max Abelson @maxabelson]

@AdrianeQ So apt!

[Max Abelson @maxabelson]

@TheStalwart Joe you are very sweet (but never light or crude)

[Max Abelson @maxabelson]

An honor to work with @KatLeighDoherty and our editor @david_scheer, not to mention many other colleagues who made this one possible

@adamsussman Purple haze!

Hard to describe the eeriness of the Brooklyn evening before the storm. The sky is the color of sherbet that’s been left on the counter too long. The birds seem startled! The air is electric. Not so much let’s say Lynch as the fake New York backdrop in Hitchcock’s Rope

@mcmansionhell Sounds heinous, here’s to you Kate

[Max Abelson @maxabelson]

@GerritD Have you by any chance read The Gnostic Gospels? I’m thinking that’s what’s in the watermelon. (Great book by the way)

As a rule I try not to post photographs of strangers, and yet

As a smalltown newspaperman who could never afford to give 4 reporters the time to take on a project like this (we have 4 full-time reporters, total), let's take a moment to appreciate @propublica's invitation for other outlets to "Steal Our Stories." Will do!
