If you haven’t heard, @trufelman.bsky.social and I started a new podcast about fashion and philosophy. Each month, we read canonical text — Voltaire, Rousseau, Hegel — and talk about how the author's ideas help us understand why we dress the way we do.

I gained a new level of appreciation for Dolly Parton (including her complexities and contradictions and that of the wider culture) from this excellent podcast from a few years ago by Jad Abumrad and Shima Oliaee. Highly recommended.

Martin Scorsese's 'The Last Temptation of Christ' is a Christologically correct film. It lies at the secret heart of the director's entire career.
