"Paste Magazine opted not to put a byline on its harsh review of Swift’s album, citing safety concerns for the writer." nytimes.com/2024/04/22/art…
I journal a lot, around 80k words per year. But I get sick of my own voice, so invented a whole imaginary bureaucracy that delivers me monthly reports, in high Communist cant, about my health, finances, and relationships. Lowkey the best idea I’ve ever had
I suddenly remembered the guy my brain labeled “the insane Eric guy from the Trump era”, couldn’t remember his last name, and couldn’t figure out how to find it, until it finally hit me: “it’s time for some game theory”
This is the first in a new series of re-evaluations we are doing. Starting it off with @schuneke on Imagined Communities! newrepublic.com/article/179786…
I've been watching for probably a decade how Euro countries are coded in the American media. It's always Germany = good, productive, fiscally responsible vs. France (and Italy/Spain/Greece) = bad, lazy, profligate. These remain completely impervious to facts or data of any kind.

The number of people I’ve heard whose therapists egged them on in armchair diagnosing other people as narcissists made me finally confront the fact that there are bad therapists, and that they are part of the reason for the spread of that incredibly dubious concept.

David Brooks. Still the GOAT.
My Friday digest post is back for its second (!!) week in a row with writing from @onesarahjones, @lmlauramarsh and others. Plus, belatedly, a quick take on "exvangelicals" and where they fit in the history of (futile) dissent from the evangelical left davidsess.substack.com/p/the-exvangel…
The "You can't keep the doctor you love!" critique of Medicare for All still enrages me to this day because WHAT ALREADY HAPPENS WHEN YOU CHANGE JOBS?!

This bit by @MarcHogan on the identity crisis of having bands you loved eviscerated by Pitchfork in the early 2000s. Also, HOW did I not know that they gave Jimmy Eat World's "Bleed American" a 3.5—a world-historical error that has never been rectified? rollingstone.com/music/music-fe…

Incredible. Writing Men At War really convinced me that the sexual revolution of the 60s was merely a continuation (or perhaps even less widely experienced in society) than what went on between 1939 and 1945.

For Professor Frey, the university is a politically 'neutral' institution - itself a profoundly ideological judgement that is contradicted by, oh, the entire history of the university itself.
The whole tactic here is to force a confrontation. It's a game of chicken they are self consciously playing. Don't confuse this with academic freedom, they are not the same. As for institutional neutrality, we need it more than ever, but rightly understood.
💌 NEW BAD BRAIN 💌 I had a wide ranging chat with viral sensation @girthmasterr about crossing lines on the internet, teaching people how to have sex, the dumbest thing he’s spent his new money on, smut ethics, the enduring survival of porn, and who can’t take his dick 🔗 in bio
I’m gonna take a wild guess here that George Packer does not grapple with the material realities of how universities are financed, governed, and administered in the 21st century, and instead is just another restatement of his anti-intellectual grievances.
I dare you to show me *one example* of a significant Palestine solidarity campus protest that Jewish students weren’t meaningfully involved in organizing. You are so full of shit
@mehdirhasan There are definitely Jews involved in the campus pro-Palestine protests. I know a number of them. But there's also a pretty big tokenization issue. A kind of Hebraic let me introduce you to my black friend vibe.
Max just came home from work, and I told him about this jackass's tweet, and he said, and I quote, "Calvin Klein hasn't been a luxury brand for decades" lmao
Can I just say like there’s nothing like psychologically healthy about taking on this much self-appointed celebrity and publicity. It’s like a cautionary tale about the effects of trying to be a sole, heroic voice for something—a crazy-making calling in ever way.
there is literally no fucking way😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
