It was my friend Muhannad who sent me the video. I believe it was the day after the pager attacks in Lebanon, although every day bleeds together at this point, each twenty-four hour window a new low. Muhannad was in Beirut; they told me that they were “front and center for the show.” Every day they write about something they’ve seen.

Mean Boys: A Personal History by Geoffrey Mak. Bloomsbury Publishing, 288 pages. 2024. On a warm night in early November of last year, a high schooler walked right up to me and put a hand to my waist. “You know what that is?” he asked, pushing me up against the glass enclosure of the bus stop. Cold metal or a bare hand; I didn’t feel like learning the hard way, and so my wallet and my phone went off into the night as I walked on, half-naked, to meet my friends at a near-empty club.

Extremely Online: The Untold Story of Fame, Influence, and Power on the Internet by Taylor Lorenz. Simon & Schuster, 384 pages. 2023. K. was my first—and probably my only—Stan. I met him at Mood Ring of all places, at a party thrown by a mutual friend. He practically screamed when he figured out that I was the one who’d written that essay about Dimes Square, an essay that had “broken a certain corner of the internet,” as a skateboarder I’d never met put it over DM.

The Complete Fear of Kathy Acker by Jack Skelley. Semiotext(e), 136 pages. 2023. I’m at Bossa Nova Civic Club in Bushwick when I notice that Jack Skelley has followed me on Instagram. I’m sitting at a booth with Julia and Wex and Maria and Noel near the cucumber-infused water station, which is somehow also the part of the club that smells like vomit. We’re talking about “scene politics,” about cliques, about snubbing, about “cool-guying,” about getting dubbed.

It was like ginger ale on my skull. It was like Frankenstein’s lab. It was a humid Saturday in February, the night of my [redacted] birthday and — was playing —, the — year anniversary. I’d just gotten the go-ahead to review McKenzie Wark’s new book Raving, and I was ecstatic, manic even; my senses had gone haywire and my brain was frothing over at the prospect of elucidating this book and everything happening around me.

A mini-heatwave is predicted before the end of April as temperatures start to climb. The Met Office has said that 'temperatures are likely to be rather warm' towards the end of this month. According to a Mirror report, the warmest day of 2023 so far was set in Scotland on Monday with a high of 20.2C being recorded just after 12pm in Kinlochewe in the Scottish Highlands. The Met Office's long-range forecast suggests that this fine weather could be on its way across by the end of the month.
