The newspaper’s 28 uneven and sometimes inspired pages are a blend of inside jokes, vaccine quizzes, occasionally turgid prose and advice for having sex on the club drug ketamine. The newspaper started as a kind of a joke for Ms. Guterman’s and Ms. Banse’s friends around the triangle known as “Dimes Square,” which gets its name from the restaurant Dimes, which is owned by two models. (The name refers to how hot its customers are — they’re all 10s.) Ms. Guterman, a recent graduate of the New School, and Ms. Banse, of New York University, are now in the awkward position of having put enough work into the paper — and created buzz in magazines like New York and Interview — that it no longer feels like a prank and they’re losing their sense of humor about typos.
Can't believe we've never talked about Montez! It's like college radio for Brooklyn Culture Mafia & wannabes!The Dimes Square local media include a pirate radio station, Montez Press Radio, that won’t let you listen on demand, and a “natural style” fashion email newsletter, Opulent Tips, written by a GQ staff writer, with no fancy formatting. Many of the most interesting new products are in print “because digital spaces are becoming increasingly more policed,” said Richard Turley, 44, the former creative director of Bloomberg Businessweek who founded another downtown newspaper, Civilization, in 2018.
The downtown media rebellion often looks back to the 1990s, when the model and actress Chloë Sevigny embodied an edgy new scene in a New Yorker profile, just before her star turn in the explicit 1995 movie “Kids.” Ms. Sevigny, now 46, is a running preoccupation — The Drunken Canal has featured her stylist, Haley Wollens. Ms. Sevigny told me she’s “flattered and hoping the kids rally for all of us.” But the more recent seeds of the current scene are in the podcasts that helped put a strain of left-wing populist politics that’s as hostile to Hillary Clinton as it is to Donald Trump on the political map — in particular, one called Red Scare, whose co-host, Dasha Nekrasova, lives near Dimes Square. Ms. Nekrasova, 30, said she admired the spirit of The Drunken Canal although, like many of its admirers, she hasn’t actually been able to get her hands on a copy.
And people claim the mafia isn't real!!A conversation between Ms. Marnell and the influencer Caroline Calloway appears in the fourth issue of The Drunken Canal, and Ms. Marnell says she admires the newspaper though she, too, has never seen it.
Ms. Levy, the writer, said she had been thinking a lot about self-mythologizing groups of people. She was thinking particularly about Andy Warhol and Studio 54, she said, and “how many people on the scene must have been like, ‘Oh my God, those are the most annoying people.” She gets, she said, where Valerie Solanas, who shot Mr. Warhol in 1968, was coming from.
“I totally understand Valerie Solanas,” she said. “But I’d rather be Andy Warhol than her.”
Never sure about this sort of argument. But just to get it straight if I read something and I hate someone who is mentioned, who was I played by, the person in article or the NYT or is it that the person guests in the NYT and makes you hate them so both answers were correct?Protip: if you come away from a NYT article hating someone, you got played
Hey!!I'm not talking about the witty aphorism, I'm just asking about that thing you said above.
But I'm gonna take this as broadly answering what I was saying.The NY Times certainly writes about privileged white people, but sometimes with a skewering, mildly mocking tone. "Look at what these folks are doing" can be misread as an implied endorsement when in fact a closer reading says "look at these jerkoffs".
Oh shit! That was the witty aphorism wasn't it? I always do this, I am so sorry. Do you know what, I've read it again and it is really good actually. Nice one. It went over my head the first time.Hey!!
