“There is value in new technology. I see that. That doesn’t mean the value of everything else is negligible. We need to slow down. What are we willing to give up? What do we expect in return?”

I wrote for ⁦@unherd⁩ about data centers & land rights. https://t.co/8r0yF8Wc48

On the 65th anniversary of the ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW, I wrote for ⁦@unherd⁩ about America’s fictional hometown from Andy Griffith’s real hometown, Mount Airy, NC.

What is America anyhow if not thousands & thousands of hometowns?

I lived to hear the iPod described as having “retro aesthetics”

I don’t know much, but I do know this: That walking through the world is hard and beautiful and strange and tragic for all of us. We endure. There’s very little room for negotiation. But at least we’re not doing it alone.

The full 1987 film RoboCop rendered as the Cracker Barrel logo. Because nothing matters.

In my first story for UnHerd, I wrote about local opposition to a hyperscale data center proposed for 700 acres of wooded land at the edge of Bessemer, AL. The AI boom has arrived in the rural South, and it’s accompanied by questionable municipal tactics. https://t.co/DoWP9Npyoo

Three studio reels from Bob Dylan's debut album just leaked! Here's a never-heard clip of Bob covering Woody Guthrie's "Ramblin' Round" in the 1961 sessions.

Great news. Back after a decade. This is what they should be doing.

ECLIPSE IS BACK! 🎞️ 💚 This November, we're is thrilled to relaunch our Eclipse line—a continuing series of lost, forgotten, or overshadowed films presented in simple, affordable box set editions—with Abbas Kiarostami's early films! https://t.co/TGf6WrghSf

We're upgrading the line to Blu-ray and releasing both new editions and upgrades of popular DVD sets. Starting with a deep dive into the work of Kiarostami that highlights the first two decades of the legendary Iranian filmmaker’s career, the series will also bring you films from Kinuyo Tanaka, Sara Gómez, Ruben Östlund, and more.
