Fred McDarrah had a 30-year love affair with a street. The clumsy, cluttered charm of Manhattan’s ever-changing 14th Street won the affection of the original photo editor of The Village Voice. In a “It’ll be a great place if they ever finish it” kind of project, McDarrah photographed every building on every block once every ten or so years from the 1950s to the mid-1980s.

Apple’s recent advertisement for the slimmest iPad was a crushing faux pas. Instruments of creativity—a trumpet, a set of oil paints, a drafting board, a stack of hard-bound books—crushed beneath the weight of a hydraulic compactor seemingly borrowed from a nearby scrapyard. (And you thought Apple’s “Mother Nature” advert was heavy-handed.) All tools of human artistic expression are now contained in an elegant piece of hardware may have been the metaphor Apple intended.

The buck in question boasted an impossible 29 points, and his home range was a cemetery. He was often seen as a fearsome, otherworldly silhouette in the gloaming, his crown a forest unto itself. Navigating the misty maze of headstones, bending his heavy crown beneath the bony branches of the magnolias, they say he stepped lightly over the dead. The buck’s killing in the late, wet days of 2023 was met with grief as thunderous as the deer’s crashing through winter forest.

Jason Allen AshlockFebruary 20, 2024 at 1:00 AM·3 min readBack in the Birdland heyday, when Charlie and Ella and Stan and Art packed the joint and made a sound for the ages, the inimitable emcee Pee Wee Marquette was known to introduce Thelonious Monk with one of history’s most brilliant mispronunciations: “The Onliest.”Witnessing David Virelles at the keys sends one searching for a similar malapropism.

Television—high-brow, low-brow, and maybe especially middle-brow—can be considered using a Tolstoyan assessment. Shows are like the families in Anna Karenina: all great ones are alike, while every bad instance of television is bad in its own way. Thus, we have a friendly way of saying that “Human Footprint,” a new, well-intentioned limited series on PBS, hosted by Princeton biologist Shane Campbell-Staton, is frustratingly unique. First, there is the muddled conceit.

History is bunk, Henry Ford famously quipped. Though no one can claim to know precisely what he intended by the phrase—Ford was notoriously slippery in his rhetoric—one can approximate his meaning. Why would a brutal capitalist and ingenious technologist find much value in the baggage of the past when the machine-fueled future promised such glory and treasure? The kind of creeping techno-fascism now emerging from the cracks of our social foundation thrives on such Fordian forgetfulness.

Book: You Could Make This Place Beautiful By Maggie SmithOnce, the poets bound us. With their forceful stories and forthright charm, the Fireside Poets sewed a severed society together with rhyme and myth. Nineteenth Century families huddled in candlelight, united through civil war by the entrancing verses of Longfellow’s “Hiawatha” or Holmes’s “The Chambered Nautilus.” Before telegrams or radio, before screens and scrolls, poetry pioneered virality. Once, poetry was pop culture.
