The Internet Must Be A Perpetual Glissando Tied To Every Other Glissando That Has Ever Been or Will Be

1. How Wong Kar Wai Made Chungking Express With $0

2. In our continuing interest in the rumored existence of ‘an indie’ internet, may we present: Printernet — a printed up magazine of what you’ve been reading online. (If you tie this in with The Onion launching their physical newspaper once again …)

3. “We are on the brink of an irreversible climate disaster.”

4. “Four Favorites with Wim Wenders and Koji Yakusho.”

5. A thread of mutual aid groups working in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. (See also: This is My Helping Appalachia Shirt.) See also: a text-only version of Blue Ridge Public Radio (the benefit here being: it loads faster.)

6. Nicole Graev Lipson’s book is finally available for pre-order. We spoke with her last fall about an essay that was ultimately selected for inclusion in this year’s collection of Best American Essays.

7. Full Ta-Nehisi Coates interview with MSNBC’s Chris Hayes. Full interview with Jon Stewart here.
