I know the opinion here is not the widely held one right now, but I find this compelling. I’m sure AI is useful for highly data-intensive, computational research. But thinking about it as mid + hype is helpful. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/29/o...

Put the word out that we're back. Think of us. We open 4/20 for a short window for a print issue in the fall. We want poems, prose, art, comics & beyond. Free to submit, free to read online always, we now pay $150 + comp copies + eternal literary infamy. More prestigious than the Paris Review.

Huh. Who knew the Dept of Transportation would be the locus of hard Dominionist energy right out of the gate?
