About
I write about pop culture and the arts. I’m a contributing editor at Rolling Stone and the pop critic at Slate. My stories have also appeared in The New Yorker, The New York Times Magazine, The New York Times, Men’s Journal, Businessweek, and Details.
My Slate profile of Kanye West was included in ASME’s Best American Magazine Writing 2011 anthology. My New York Times Magazine feature about Dwarf Fortress was included on The Verge’s Best Tech Writing 2011 list.
Longform interviewed me for their journalism podcast, here. I’ve also appeared on NPR, MTV, CNN, and WNYC.
I was born in Brooklyn and live there today. You can contact me here and find me on Twitter here.
