Material Mysticism #7
Tired of the high-stakes doom circus of American politics? Try art criticism! Here's my late-breaking review of the 2024 Whitney Biennial, which doubles as a "review" of New York, and of reality itself. It’s rare that one can trust blistering reviews that show no sympathy, or celebratory puff-pieces that can’t see what’s wrong – this review tries to do both, offering an attempt at devastating critique followed by near delirious adulation.

interview and upcoming talks
The director of Princeton's Hellenic Studies program was kind enough to interview me about Mother of the Lamb. I will be there in April for two talks if you're in the Jersey area - hallowed birthplace of millinerd.com.
