    Presenting The Stranger’s 2026 Genius Award Winners - The Stranger (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    The Stranger’s Genius Awards began in 2003 as an attempt to recognize our favorite artists, and, crucially, to give them money. The awards changed shape over the years, then disappeared altogether after 2016. A decade later, we wanted them back. I knew that meant two things: It was going to feel so good to put real money* into the hands of artists making this city more interesting, and choosing them was going to be excruciating. The Genius Committee—Stranger staff writers Julianne Bell, Amanda M

    Brewed Awakening - The Stranger (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    I have no thesis for this piece other than that I just really like Espresso Martinis right now. Yes, they’ve been around forever (since the early ’80s when London bartender Dick Bradsell allegedly invented them after a supermodel asked for “something to wake me up, then fuck me up”).
