Get ready for a book about reality TV and architecture—a tale of capitalism, colonialism, and the Kardashians.

A million thank yous to my editor @depresssiongym @astra and agent @dani_bukie for making it happen.

Cover and blurbs (including one from thee Sianne Ngai) for Dream Facades: The Cruel Architecture of Reality TV, out March 3 😶‍🌫️ “Brilliantly stylish and irresistibly readable, Dream Facades is a searing indictment of our late-capitalist present.” https://t.co/GnVTka5QSK

How, 100+ days into genocide, does @nytimes justify their inhumane coverage?

I’ll show you

Here’s a top NYT standards editor talking abt passive voice & charges of bias in coverage during the 2021 Israeli bombing of Gaza
