Streaming services turn music into background noise, writes @EditorSkinner. The songs are "cravenly imitative" of the music you already like—so it's soon "like high school in senior year, a treadmill of repeating faces, completely predictable and without mystery or surprise."
In honor of @taylorswift13's "The Tortured Poets Department" album out today, we bring you this incredible article from @humanitiesmag about #torturedpoets Lowell, Plath, and Sexton. #TSTTPD📷neh.gov/article/lowell…
The great cast of eccentrics in The Dictionary People, which is about @OED, kept me company while I reviewed the book for @commonwealmag: commonwealmagazine.org/skinner-oxford…
"Though the OED is published by Oxford University Press, it is, in many respects, the spiritual and intellectual opposite of an elite university." @EditorSkinner on the eccentric volunteers who helped make the OED: commonwealmagazine.org/skinner-oxford…
My cover story for @humanitiesmag about Dante + Florence is featured at Arts & Letters Daily.

“A word is just a word,” wrote lexicographer Philip Gove. But what about the granddaddy of all dirty words: the F-bomb? As @EditorSkinner writes, this particular word’s journey into—and out of—Webster’s Dictionary was not without potholes. theamericanscholar.org/philip-gove-an…

Lexicographer Philip Gove undertook a somewhat unconventional quest throughout his career: to have the F-bomb published in Webster’s Dictionary. As @EditorSkinner writes, his journey was a rocky one. theamericanscholar.org/philip-gove-an…

On October 17 this small book of mine about the #OED will enjoynew life with a 25th Anniversary Edition. I can hardly believe it. The world may roll awkwardly on, but this story allows itself to be told and retold down the years. I couldn’t be more proud, grateful and content.
Much of the landscape of North America was new to the English, so many early word inventions applied to the natural world. Often these simply combined a noun with an adjective: backcountry, backwoods (and backwoodsman), back settlement, pine barrens. laphamsquarterly.org/roundtable/ear…

We are making our first change in our primary dictionary in decades, turning to @MerriamWebster as our first source. We announced our new partnership today at the @ACESEditors conference. We will officially make the transition when we publish our new print edition May 29.
Whose "Dictionary"?
Monday at JazzWax, a Ben Webster LP most jazz fans aren't aware of. Produced in the UK by Pete King and arranged by Stan Traey, the 1970 album is a late-career gem. Go here... tinyurl.com/4hnsyapy

Two years ago, P-22, the lone mountain lion of LA’s Griffith Park, met his end—and I thought of Jimmy Cagney. I doff my snap-brim hat to @davidulin, himself an embodiment of the Angeleno spirit, for giving this bad boy a home @airlight_mag. airlightmagazine.org/airlight/issue…
In my debut piece for @NationalAffairs, I delve into Gertrude Himmelfarb's scholarship to consider what history can tell us about liberalism, why the distinction between political theory and history matters, and what it means to treat history as a beloved spouse
As the editor of one, I must say that banning high-capacity magazines would be a violation of the First Amendment. <hey o!>
People need to just stop making official statements that begin "we take blahblah very seriously". They might as well carry a sign saying "we fucked up on blahblah because we never gave a toss about it and we still don't "
I’m glad we’re all coming around on this, but TENET was always good and at least part of the initial reaction against it was because some folks got big mad at Christopher Nolan for insisting people should watch it in a movie theater in 2020.
“This is a unique and original 1828 edition of Noah Webster's English Dictionary. … The books were published by Johnson Reprint Corporation. … They are in their original state, not facsimile, from the year 1970.”
