Jay Firestone
Communist infiltrator who doesn’t dig too hard. This one was rumbled almost from the start, but he’s got himself appearing at a conference in May 2017 where he’d already been named. https://archive.ph/ucSZN

Syd Hoff's Commie Cartoons
Syd Hoff’s Commie Cartoons
It’s hardly a secret, but Syd Hoff, whose New Yorker cartoons and kiddy books (Danny and the Dinosaur) flourished for decades, also had a parallel career as “A. Redfield,” a Bolshie cartoonist for the Daily Worker and New Masses. Most of A. Redfield’s stuff wasn’t very funny, but occasionally . . . it was. The trick seems to have been to ape Peter Arno rather than be stridently commie. The better…

Hadju vs White Jazz Boys
Hadju vs White Jazz Boys
I was looking for the hilarious trashing of 1950s TV critic John Crosby that David Hadju did 10-12 years ago in his short-lived “Famous Door” column. Crosby, if I recall correctly, was insufficiently worshipful of the Brilliant & Gifted & Tiresome Theolonious Monk on The Seven Lively Arts, a sleepy Sunday afternoon Kulturfest in 1957. Hadju was sniffy. But I found this instead. And wowee. Hadju…

Toothpick Skyscrapers In the Guardian, Andrew C. Nelson takes note of the closed-door politics that are cluttering up Manhattan's Midtown skyline with super-tall, super-skinny residential towers:
Fanboy Tells All
A kid from Bushwick or Williamsburgh, sometimes calling himself “Irish Jay from Brooklyn,” and here signing himself “Jay Firestone,” has done a retread of his scribbly reportage from 2017. Original link is here; archive link is below.
TL;DR:Fanboy Jay wanted to be a player in the “Alt Right” when that was still a thing. Went to NY Forums, went on a Hate Hike. Scribbled stuff down in Pastebin docs…

Schrafft's at the Esso Building, 1948
Schrafft’s at the Esso Building, 1948
Looked like a midcentury lunchroom on the West 51st St. side, and a Danish-Modern cocktail lounge from the West 52nd St. entrance. One of the larger Schrafft’s, it not only ran through the block but had two levels. It opened in the mid-40s while the Esso Building was being completed at 75 Rockefeller Plaza, and seems to have closed about thirty years later. Originally Rock Plaza was intended to…

The Years with Wrath (1960) For its July 1960 issue, Esquire magazine featured an all-star lineup of contributors offering their paeans to New York City (which in this case means mostly, though not entirely, the sort of Manhattan depicted in…

Seventh Ave & 53rd St Subway Station: Unconscionable
Seventh Ave & 53rd St Subway Station: Unconscionable
Surely the IND subway station at West 53rd Street and Seventh Avenue must be the most gawd-awfully arranged hole in the city. Its three levels, with a near-complete dearth of escalators (okay, there’s one, if you can find it, and it’s working) must defeat even the most intrepid first-time visitor. Descending to the lowermost, or Downtown, ramp, you find that one side takes you down 8th Avenue (E…

NYT Gets the 'Inner City' All Wrong
NYT Gets the ‘Inner City’ All Wrong
In a curious memory lapse, the New York Times spins the phrase ‘inner city’ as an odd coinage of Donald Trump. Writing in The Upshot column yesterday, Emily Badger strains to argue that the expression is inappropriate, as many ‘inner cities’ are doing well. There’s a lot to unpack here. In the first place, the phrase was popularized in the 1960s by the NYT and other New York-based entities (New…

Nat Turner Movie Sparks Anti-Rape Protests Here and There
Nat Turner Movie Sparks Anti-Rape Protests Here and There
A motion picture about Nat Turner, in which the murderous negro slave is depicted as a forerunner of Black Lives Matter, has sparked “candlelight vigils” this week in Hollywood, according to Variety. The filmmaker was once accused of rape, after which the accuser killed herself. The film has opened at several cinemas in Manhattan. At the New York Times, reviewer A.O. Scott strained to give it a…

Another Indecipherable, Messy, Barry Blitt Drawing
Another Indecipherable, Messy, Barry Blitt Drawing
In recent years The New Yorker has favored cover illustrations by Barry Blitt, a Canadian-born illustrator of uncertain origins. When his style was young and fresh (this is going back a couple of decades), it had novelty, as though he was passing off notebook scribbles and watercolor-board tests as finished product. Many years later he still hasn’t learned to draw, or he’s convinced himself and…

HeatStreet’s Louise and Her Russia Troll-Bot Map
By all accounts, Trump-Clinton debate on Tuesday night was a dreary draw, but Trump fans were quick on the trigger to vote in online polls at DrudgeReport, Time, and elsewhere. Verdict: an overwhelming win for Mr. Trump. Few people take such polls seriously, least of all the Trump or Clinton campaigns, and the online fluff would ordinarily have been forgotten the next day. This time however some…
