Horror show Sarah Weinman recommends a place to not go in New York this weekend, or ever

A new immersive exhibition called "Mind of a Serial Killer" opened today in New York City and runs through the end of June. No one will be surprised that I did not care for it, but somehow it was even worse than I expected. My latest at @flaminghydra.com:

I’ll be talking writing and immigration with former LAT colleagues Steve Padilla and Andrea Flores and a whole host of talented authors. Come through, come through. www.latimes.com/events/festi...

Will this be recorded?!? I loved reading Steve Padilla’s writing tips back in the days of Twitter. Wish he’d come to Bluesky!

Yall must be hungry because I don’t see it.

I don’t think that warrants a cartwheel though…

I don’t know why, and I want to understand why, Rinck does a cartwheel? It feels like a last minute flex lol.

Death is always lurking. We see it in violence, in the wounds of the world, in the cry of pain that rises from every corner because of the abuses that crush the weakest among us, because of the idolatry of profit that plunders the earth's resources, because of the violence of war that kills and destroys.

Just so everyone remembers . . . .

Rob Dunlap is proof that if you make enough money you don’t feel embarrassment.

Not Cascade PBS doing an entire series on "combating the decline of local news" after firing everyone in their own newsroom.

Finally. Someone sees me.

Shout out to everyone on Libby hitting “suspend hold" on the books l'm waiting on and knocking weeks off my time, you are vital pieces in the architecture of my will to live and I for one appreciate your inability to commit to that book at this time

Hearst exec: Yes, newspapers are still a good investment Newspapers overall are grappling with digital disruption but they're still a good business for the publishing giant Hearst, which is buying and growing dailies.

As a side note, I am extremely tired of a handful of Seattle World Cup games being used as excuses for all kinds of permanent policy decisions, including the installation of dozens of new cameras all around the city's stadiums. It's harder to turn off the surveillance state once you've built it.

Everyone, but particularly Americans, need to find, read, or listen to, the chapter “The Fine Art of Baloney Detection” in Carl Sagan’s incredibly informative book ‘The Demon-Haunted World’. It really should be a compulsory text in all schools. (But, it’s stuff that ‘they’ don’t want you to know)

Dammit how will I ever prove my reporting on Nicole Brodeur being racist toward a young artist probably led to her leaving The Times!? FUCK

In Mexico we don’t say “don’t be so naive.” Instead we say “no te hagas pendejo/a” and Í think that’s beautiful.

I have family all over Mexico. I’m Mexican – I know there’s differences in regional Mexican food. Beyond the rice and beans, that not really authentic.
