I had a fantastic chat with Lee Sung Jin about the second season of BEEF, its eclectic origins, and its unexpected images. He also talked at length about his personal journey in the TV industry. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

According to the “Beef” creator Lee Sung Jin, “In 2026, you really can’t talk about anything—life, marriage, love, career—without the theme of class being the variable.” www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

The creator of “Beef,” Lee Sung Jin, discusses tailoring dialogue to Oscar Isaac and Charles Melton, the differences between Korean and American élites, and making TV in an age of “all-gas, no-brakes capitalism” in an interview with Inkoo Kang. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...
I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"
A modest tax on second homes is the scariest thing this rich lady has ever seen.
Loved that this was framed like a You’re Wrong About episode.
In Bed with the Right Episode 129: Looksmaxxing
New episode! On @inbedwiththeright.bsky.social, @adriandaub.bsky.social and I talk “looksmaxxing,” the movement’s parallels in incel, pro-ana, and wellness communities, and the looksmaxxer sexual politics of heterosexuality without women. We’re podcastmaxxing. pod.link/1696774612/e...
The first season of “Jury Duty” had a carefully curated feel-good vibe that seemed to exceed even the novel premise as the primary source of its appeal. But that very quality renders the follow-up unnecessary, @inkookang.bsky.social writes. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/RFubxr
Might be the greatest opening paragraph of anything ever.
Loved the fact that various Oscar bits and clips "spoiled" the endings of ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER and WEAPONS and other films last night. It was almost like the show had finally stopped worrying about appealing to people who don't bother to watch the movies. www.vulture.com/article/the-...
The HBO drama “Industry” recognizes the way its characters are thwarted by Britain’s class system, but “it’s more interested in how their grievances fuel preëxisting personality defects, curdling ambition into insatiability,” @inkookang.bsky.social writes. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/xirM9G

The genius of Sally Wainwright’s irresistible new series “Riot Women” lies in connecting individual woes to societal failures. The show “dramatizes how women pick up the pieces as institutions crumble around them,” @inkookang.bsky.social writes. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/a1tBYY
Whatever you think of the Washington Post at this moment, here's a chance to support the dedicated, hard-working journalists who were just laid off. If you have the means, your donation is most welcome. If you don't, a kind thought and maybe spreading the word to others is support enough 💙
I wasn’t at the Post for very long, but I developed a tremendous respect for so many of my former colleagues, who did excellent, important, painstaking work, every single day. This is such a huge loss for journalism and for the country.
What an absolutely brutal fucking day.
With “The Beauty,” a new FX series starring Ashton Kutcher, Ryan Murphy attempts to comment on incels, celebrity culture, and the age of Ozempic. www.newyorker.com/culture/on-t...
Sterlin Harjo’s new series, “The Lowdown,” starring Ethan Hawke as a citizen journalist determined to expose the crimes of the élite, is at once rollicking and timely, @inkookang.bsky.social writes. Read her review.
The Trump Administration’s attack on late-night TV is part of a much broader agenda, @inkookang.bsky.social writes.
Many in Hollywood have concluded that they have to win back audiences by producing more content that represents red-state values. “There’s an experimental energy in the crop of shows catering to this newly prized demographic,” @inkookang.bsky.social writes.
Is “And Just Like That” bad enough to retroactively diminish its predecessor? “I’d argue yes,” @inkookang.bsky.social writes.
With its quicksilver shifts and sneaking sweetness, the experience of watching “Too Much” feels a lot like falling in love, @inkookang.bsky.social writes.

more than 8,000 journalists have been laid off since 2022. That's 9% of the industry.
A pink progress bar is about halfway complete. Text: "$43,650 390 Supporters. 54% of $80,000 goal"
uhhhh what huh???? it's been about 24 hours since our campaign's public launch and we're already more than halfway to our goal! thank you!! y'all must really love COOL INDEPENDENT MEDIA FOR BAY AREA HOTTIES givebutter.com/coyotemedia
What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders?
Food systems are the #2 contributor to climate change, the #1 driver of deforestation, the #1 driver of biodiversity loss on land, and the #1 user of freshwater.
(It follows that food systems contain many solutions to these problems.)
DM’d you!
