Since its release in February, a lot of people (including, e.g., Kevin Roose this past Tuesday) have wondered what (and who) the Vision Pro -- Apple's swanky new mixed-reality headset -- is for. For @nymag Intelligencer, I found an answer! nymag.com/intelligencer/…

Nuked all my tweets & history and feel as sinless as a newborn Highly recommended doing once in a while — slash-and-burn is the way to go on this ungodly platform

I wrote about what I think makes certain interviews so good, a bit of an ode to the Longform Podcast interviews, and some things I’ve been trying to learn

We haven’t lost hope for new sources of funding to keep some version of the mag alive. Please send ideas to [email protected].

This is just like that HBO show Girls
