The award-winning novelist and veteran tech activist Cory Doctorow has written millions of words in his nearly four-decade career. Now he's best known for a single one: "Enshittification." How did he get here? My profile: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/05/b...

I haven't worked at BuzzFeed in 3.5 years!

Recently, I received some devastating news: my oldest friends were going on golf trips — without me.

Was this my own personal male loneliness crisis? I went to golf bootcamp to try to stave off becoming a solitary weirdo who spends too much time on YouTube.

What do Mehdi Hasan, Andrew Tate, and Bonnie Blue have in common? They all participate in the fan gangbang, an uncannily literal evolution of the parasocial style that defines modern life online

What a fantastic piece www.nytimes.com/2025/05/20/m...

My father was a Nazi hunter, until he was killed in the Lockerbie bombing, when I was four. Now, a man will stand trial for the crime. What does it mean, after nearly forty years, to seek justice for the crimes of history? My new cover story for the Times Magazine: www.nytimes.com/2025/05/20/m...

For the weekend, I considered what we’re really talking about when we talk about the “manosphere”: www.nytimes.com/2025/02/01/s...

Hello! I'm blowing the dust off of this account.

I'm not going to promise to post here regularly.

But I do promise to use it to promote myself whenever possible.

In case anyone hasn't read it, this is the definitive 2010s story. The NYC private school, the marketing job, the clothing line, the job as a stripper, the sleazy, crack-addicted boyfriend, the Tribeca art gallery, the new home decor line--it has everything. Perfect.
