During their time in Los Angeles, Wine and Kyagulanyi kept up a hectic schedule of press interviews and the meet-and-greet parties that are standard Oscar campaign events, in addition to the luncheon, where Kyagulanyi was seated next to Cillian Murphy and took a selfie with Emma Stone. Wine, who was at a different table, didn’t recognize his seatmates. “I don’t get to watch contemporary films,” he explained, noting how much time he’s spent in and out of prison over the past few years. “But I’m s…

This past February, a pet rabbit being boarded overnight at Manhattan’s Center for Avian and Exotic Medicine, the busiest rabbit veterinary practice in New York City, died. The fact that the rabbit had seemed fine and then expired without warning was chalked up to the rabbit habit of feigning good health. Later that evening, another rabbit at the clinic died. The coincidence of the additional death was strange, especially because the first rabbit that died was elderly, and the second was young.…

One recent Wednesday morning, a young woman named Chasity Saunders was addressing a situation like this. She had a pair of bedazzled multicolored Christian Louboutin booties that she loved but no longer love-loved, and she had mixed feelings about a pair of Fendi pumps and a Tom Ford foldover tote, and was concerned that a gold ring from an ex-boyfriend might be blocking her energy in such a way as to inhibit her from starting a new relationship. She was meeting with Sarah Ro, who works for the…

Jacob Bakkila and Thomas Bender—the pair behind these projects—were recently reminiscing about another collaboration, a play they wrote called “Cowboy,” which had nothing to do with cowboys. This was when they were in high school, in suburban Pittsburgh. Bakkila and Bender are now both thirty, but it’s easy to picture them as mischief-making teen-agers. Bakkila is a creative director at BuzzFeed, where he designs sponsored posts for companies like Pepsi and Geico. He is tall, with bristly blond…

The Internet is full of mysteries. Two of the more intriguing ones have been a Twitter account, @Horse_ebooks, and a YouTube channel, Pronunciation Book, which have been running for the past several years. Both have the hallmarks of automation, chugging along anonymously and churning out disjointed bits of text in a very spam-like fashion. At the same time, their output has seemed strangely knowing and even portentous. Horse_ebooks, in particular, has inspired fan fiction, Tumblr accounts, T-shi…

Lee Duncan was a country boy, a third-generation Californian. One of his grandmothers was a Cherokee, and one grandfather had come west with Brigham Young. The family ranched, farmed, scratched out some kind of living. Lee’s mother, Elizabeth, had married his father, Grant Duncan, when she was eighteen, in 1891. Lee was born in 1893, followed, three years later, by his sister, Marjorie. The next year, Grant took off and was never heard from again. Lee was a great keeper of notes and letters and…

The horror of spring is upon us. Yes, the early buds are lovely, as is the first touch of sun, the warm smell of soil, the darling baby animals wet with creation, blah blah blah. But, more to the point, spring carries tucked in its gentle bosom a ton of ticks, those miserable, godless, useless, deathless parasites that make the rural spring as gory and terrifying as a slasher film. My pleasure in spring is undone the minute my dog (above) comes in after a nice romp outside with twenty ticks ridi…
