I wrote about how there are no pure platforms or publishers and how there are very few ethical media diets. Which leaves those of us who know we can’t consume ethically but still want to try, left to navigate what feels right, or, at least, less bad. lithub.com/what-do-you-...

What a great night!!
We had a lovely night at Brooklyn Chats with the great @maris.bsky.social.
Upon further review of “I Want to Burn This Place Down,” we landed upon some combo of wine and not giving a shit being the life default.
Buy it and read it, well worth your time. Trust me.

I love this new thing where I look for thematic connections between the two books I read each week, because I realized this past week I read two books in which the heroines work at the telephone company. www.themarisreview.com/the-maris-re...

I like to think I’m a reasonably smart person, but then I watch an episode of Industry and think I totally understand what happened and then I read a recap and find stuff I didn’t even clock was happening, led by characters whose names I never bothered to learn.

I just want to say that, as a former Laguna Beach watcher, it’s been kind of delightful to see Stephen Colletti be entirely less terrible than I’d imagined he might be on The Traitors. Charming, in fact.

Glad to see a piece finally address Edge. Also, not the point, but I remember when I thought “Jewish eugenicist” was an oxymoron.
'With its contempt for the humanities, Edge offered intellectually insecure reactionaries a pass. Without even opening a book (...) They could continue to ignore giants like Edward Said, Judith Butler, and David Graeber, and devote their brains instead to the race science and rape apologetics'

A Democratic Party which allows Gavin Newsom to become the frontrunner for the election is a party which is not serious about change, justice, or bettering the lives of its constituency. He's the political equivalent of a stick of margarine left out on the counter for a couple of months.
