these numbers are a decent indication that the whole "the left is ostracizing young men" thing is, if not entirely fictional, at least very overblown
How do famous right-wing influencers actually poll with young men in 2025?
Rogan: 27% favorable, 35% unfavorable, 45% don't know/never heard of
Theo Von: 21% fav, 16% unfav, 55% dk

Guy who's never heard of the Great Fear:
I find it genuinely flabbergasting that the far left on this site doesn’t know that the French Revolution was not some kind of broad revolt against the wealthy but mostly the wealthy revolting against a feudal system. There’s a really famous social philosopher who got most of his ideas from this

Rita Bullwinkel's 2024 debut novel "Headshot," is a lot of fun. The book's characters have a weird relationship to food, and usually only think about food when they're getting their asses kicked.

With all the tariff madness, don't lose sight of the attack on students rights and on immigrant rights.
Over the past few days hundreds of international students have had their visas revoked at colleges across the country.
That breakneck pace is possible because the Trump admin has completely upended the student visa system. I wrote about how: www.insidehighered.com/news/global/...

I don’t think most writers write a battle scene intending to make a flag into a gendered symbol of national-sexual pride or to write the experience of defeat as orgasmic, but Emile Zola did.

Some of this is directly traceable to the obama admin's decision not to prosecute the torturers and butchers from the bush admin. There's a direct through line from that unconscionable political cowardice to this cruelty becoming normal.

I had a lot of trouble writing this week, and I tried to think that through in this essay. I also discussed William Trevor's short story "A Perfect Relationship," which is an elegantly restrained story about a breakup.
