Socialist electeds like Mamdani are useful in associating socialism with good governance, and the inevitable contradictions of having a socialist in bourgeois government should be framed as a demonstration of the insufficiency of existing government rather than a personal failing

Weβre watching in real time a viable and essential leftist bloc, with access to political power for the first time in decades (if not longer), decide that the only moral course of action is to become a renaissance faire.

The left is missing anger, rage and the type of mobilization on specific issues against the people that fucked the future. Instead, it settles into a sentimental affect and aesthetic of militancy without posing an actual threat or scaring the people responsible beyond moral panic

Both John Wilson and Nathan Fielder treat their subjects with careful neutrality and acquiescence, the worst they do is encourage crazy people who want to be on TV and don't respect them. It's you who finds people dumb and pathetic lol. The misanthrope is scrolling inside the bed

there's a huge organizing tension between disability being a huge vector of actual social marginalization that is overlooked a lot and the fact that ableism accusations seem to be one of the most potent forms of wreckerism introduced in the contemporary era

*9/11 happens in Chicago* Chicagoans: wow, and it really makes sense how they'd want to target Chicago since it's honestly just as big a deal as New York, and there's really still just as much fun stuff to do here even though we'll never forget what happened today

Anyone who went to a Palestinian solidarity rally on October 8, 2023 was morally correct to have done so. It was very obvious what was coming. But as history shows, you don't get rewarded for being on the right side of history; you get branded a "premature antifascist."

really funny that this is the only kind of writing AI can convincingly reproduce, because it's already laden with hallucination-esque nonsense imagery and disconnected phrasing

love schulman but this is inaccurate. the significant majority of MFA graduates never get published by big (or even small) presses and fully funded programs are one of the few places in the world of literature that don't function purely via sheer nepotism and/or vulgar classism

every new york culture rag is becoming something between buzzfeed and hipster runoff. my question is this: how many people do we need with careers parasitic off this stuff? "the internet" is not that interesting bro.
What do all these things have in common? for my new @NewYorker essay, I grappled with the burgeoning Gen Z and younger aesthetic of tacky, oozy, ugly, chemically augmented, brainrotted consumer slop βΒ the Labubu Dubai chocolate matcha industrial complex

read a recently released novel that was largely quite good but suffered from a problem that i've encountered in 90% of contemporary fiction, which is that it was 320 pages and it should have been 250 at the most

Just launched GazaDirect dot com where Palestinian fundraisers from GoFundMe and Chuffed are indexed and tracked so donors and promoters can immediately see campaigns that have raised the least or gone a long time without donations.
Praying this helps β feedback welcome!

one question for our moment of great retreading of early-aughts ground is whether the βmaximalist,β hysterical realist novel will return. or is american fiction stuck with the put-on schizophrenia of the gen z novel on one hand and sedateβeven soporificβromans a clef on the other

Everyone is so concerned why no one has written the βgreat internet novelβ that weβve forgotten to ask who the fuck would want to read that
