Nick’s Riff This Week
Like Donald Trump, I am not gay, but I have recently been paying close attention to men’s bodies: “Like Smithers with the strippers, my feeds have recently been inundated with male thirst traps, celebrations of ‘fat’ Ryan Gosling, gotchas of fat Leonardo DiCaprio, and a guy with the handle ‘Perpetually Bulking’ (although now he’s going by ‘Glen Stefani’).”
Plus: The only pants I’m wearing this fall (same post, past the paywall)

You never want to miss a Mi-Anne Chan party, even if it’s just to glimpse the debauchery from the sidewalk, where hoards of people much cooler than you are still waiting to get in. That was the case for the mixed feelings launch party back in 2023, but luckily the Teen Vogue x Wattpad launch event took place at McNally Jackson Seaport, where the scariest thing that can happen is you grab a glass of water with lemon thinking it’s a cocktail. The second scariest thing is chatting with Pitchfork Head of Editorial Mano Sundaresan, who you confidently advise to launch a subscription that allows paid readers to submit album scores that are displayed alongside the publication’s official ratings—only to learn he already did that nine months ago. —Kate

You guys should know that Air Mail published a piece by Larry David that is nothing but unfunny Fox News-addled Boomer jokes about the DSA and it’s going so poorly in the Instagram comments that he’s had to call in his much younger wife and Jeff Garlin to defend him.
