ADHOC 2: Gen Z parties are lame, fact checkers are cool

Coming to you live from LA.

Hi! Welcome to ADHOC 2. This letter includes an unlikely-but-incredible food combination, my party encounter with a NYT reporter, and a collection of essays that rocked my world. Let’s get into it!

Every Monday, all subscribers will get a letter from me in their inbox—a culture essay, a cheat sheet installment, or whatever I’ve decided to conjure up that week. Every Thursday, paid subscribers will get a reimagined ADHOC letter, whose content will vary but remain within the consistent parameters of what I Ate, Did, Heard, Online Scrolled, and Consumed that week.

Ad Hoc is a culture newsletter, and I think you can learn a lot about the state of the world through its restaurants, books, articles, creators, films, songs, parties, clothes, and routines. I hope these letters provoke your own exploration and analysis.

Today is the last day of 20% off paid subscriptions! You can also use your single-use unlock to read this letter. Thank you for supporting my writing. <3
