Was just introduced to this by a friend and have been plowing through all the posts. What do people think of him? Does he still write somewhere else? Are there any books or blogs people could recommend like TLP?

I remember liking him at the time but I honestly can't remember s single piece of his writing now.
To my knowledge he stopped writing publicly all together.
TLP is good. He is an excellent writer and very well read. I first got introduced to his writings when I was specializing in psychiatry and slowly branched into his stuff on other subjects. You should look into McLuhan and Baudrillard, they seem to have influenced his views on media a lot.
>Let me offer a contrary position, unpalatable but worth considering: the only appropriate time to wear make up is to look attractive to men. Or women, depending on which genitals you want to lick, hopefully it's both. "Ugh, women are not objects." Then why are you painting them? I'm not saying you have to look good for men, I'm saying that if wearing makeup not for men makes you feel better about yourself, you don't have a strong self, and no, yelling won't change this. Everyone knows you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, now you're saying the cover of the book influences how the book feels about itself?
Check out his stuff on Partial Objects, should be accessible through wayback.
He also seems heavily influenced by Lacan, Derrida, and Nietzsche. However, if you want someone else who as easily mixes cynicism, a lot of psychological/psychiatric know-how, modern culture, informality, humor, and as engaging a style, you're hardpressed. Partial Objects was his other website however.
Started binging his old post so a few months back as well. Stopped once I realized my analysis of “Cat Person” was entirely written in his voice and about narcissism.
I would have liked to read that book.
i wish he hadnt stopped writing :( nothing compares
this as well as Kohut, Lasch, and old existentialists like Kierkegaard and Dostoy.
