First I was a month early for the Avatar series finale’s 10th anniversary, and now I’m a day late. Andrew Whalen at Newsweek published an article last night about the making of the 4-part finale, featuring new interviews with directors Joaquim Dos Santos @jds_77 and Ethan Spaulding @ethanspauldingart3633 and series co-creators Michael Dante DiMartino @mike_dante_d and me. The link is below if you want to learn a bit of ancient history:

LEXIE CANNES STATE OF TRANS — I had an opportunity to observe an 8-year historical record of commentary on Obama’s presidency at a sizable site devoted to a activity/profession that is quite often beyond the reach of anyone that isn’t a (usually older) white male. (This profession requires a degree of intelligence and is dominated by white males for no other reason than historical backwards…
I got to draw Eddie interacting with a photo of Bruce Dickinson for a short interview in @newsweek this week. A sentence that stills seems strange! Thanks again to art director @mgoesele for keeping my life fun and interesting. #IronMaiden #artistsoninstagram #newsweek #eddiethehead #illustration #editorial #metal

For this week’s Newsweek. I got to illustrate the cover and a full page opener. The story is about Reverend Ray Broshears, who 40 years ago formed the Lavender Panthers, a group who fought homophobes and crooked police in San Francisco. I’m including the sketches as well. Thanks to art director @mgoesele for the great direction! #artistsoninstagram #newsweek #illustration #coverart #editorial

“I Attended a Swanky Wedding for Instagram-Famous Dogs and It Got Weird”
I didn’t go to any weddings in 2015 and I probably won’t go to any weddings in 2017. I went to one wedding in 2016 and it was surreal as heck.
“How Confused Are the Celebrities Who Endorse Donald Trump?”
For this piece I spent hours on the phone getting berated by Scott Baio and discussing the climate (“I feel like it’s actually gotten better!”) with Tila Tequila. Here is where I stumbled into a beat that defined a lot of my writing this year— the intersection of Trump’s campaign with the celebrity and entertainment world at large.
“Leonard Cohen Albums From Worst to Best”
Spent all my free time in October writing essays about every Leonard Cohen album. I started working on this before You Want It Darker came out and when I did hear that record I was even more astonished by the quality and breadth of this discography. Hope I did it justice, idk.
“Are We Living in a Golden Age of Stunt Journalism?”
No. No, we are not. Proud of this “deep” “dive” though.
“Is Donald Trump Really Just Andy Kaufman in Disguise? An Investigation”
I spent much of August calling up Andy Kaufman’s friends and family and asking about Trump and Andy conspiracy theories and they had so much to say and I learned so much about Andy. This is the strangest thing I wrote on the intersection-of-Trump-campaign-and-pop-culture beat and also the best.
“Rest in Purple, Prince: 1958–2016″
Spent April 19 driving around Portland with Matt blasting Musicology(which I’d bought a couple days before) on a gorgeous day. Spent April 21 hunched over my cubicle processing the unthinkable and writing the obituary I thought I wouldn’t have to write for another 20 years.
“An Argument About the Democratic Primary Composed Entirely From Salon.com Headlines”
lol I don’t know either.
“Dammit, Other Music Is Closing: A Eulogy for New York’s Most Beloved Record Store”
Feels weird to write an obituary for a business when we lost too many flesh-and-blood humans in 2016. But I spent so many fucking hours in Other Music between 2008 and 2015. I miss it. I am glad I wrote this for Noisey.
“The Ridiculous Stories Behind Donald Trump’s Movie and TV Cameos”
Kind of wish I’d given this one a sharper title, like “An Exhaustive History of Trump Being a Jerk on the Set of Forgotten ‘90s Sitcoms.”
2016 was sort of the year that I gave up trying to write celebrity profiles but I guess you could loosely call this a celebrity profile in which case it is the best celebrity profile I’ve written.
“Hamilton, The Biggest Thing on Broadway, Is Being Taught in Classrooms All Over”
ok reading back on this I wish it didn’t read so much like a press release, but I am still so proud that I wrote this painfully inevitable trend piece before the Timesdid.
“PJ Harvey Albums From Worst to Best”
At 26, my grandfather had fled Germany and served in World War II. At 26, I’ve ranked Is This Desire at #2 on a list of PJ Harvey’s albums. Bravery comes in different forms.
A piece about Slowdive’s Souvlaki, from the “failed 33 1/3 proposals” issue of Maura Magazine.
“Real Dispatches From the Alternate Universe Where Hillary Clinton Won”
Other people’s writing, my curation. It seemed to touch a nerve.
My Drunk Ted Talk About Nicolas Cage
I’ll put it online eventually I swear

More Paris Parking: This Ferrari FF (a Ferrari hatchback?) has a base price of $370,000, according to The New York Times. Not surprising, then, that it was parked illegally between crosswalks on Place de Narvik in the 8eme this afternoon. Better to get a ticket than a ding. Where would you park this car?

Kiosque:
This photograph of an anarchist in Rome throwing a fire extinguisher is definitely the shot of the day. Thanks to Le Journal du Dimanche and Gregorio Borgia of AP/Sipa. For more on the unrest in Rome and around the world watch The Daily Beast in the days (of rage) to come.
