To get in touch with the Real America, I'm here at a diner in rural Ohio on journalistic assignment with The New Yorker. Next to me is an alienated, hard-working woman on assignment from the Atlantic and a crusty father of 4 on assignment from Harper's.

Writer's room, Nobody Wants This, Season 3: "There's no elephant in the room! The most controversial issue in 2026 US Jewish life is interfaith dating, and maybe competitive squabbles to be senior rabbi at a fancy LA congregation. Nothing else to see here!"

I'm DSA but also capitalist makes no sense. I'm DSA but I'm interpolated as a subject of capitalism is accurate, but might earn one a wedgie.

Acoustic guitar nerd stuff (subjective, not "historically accurate"): the 12 fret 00 is the purest expression of a Martin. The slope-shoulder dreadnought is the essential Gibson. Withs Guild, many would say maple jumbo, but I'm a fan of their workhorse dreads

Watched The Howling (1981) last night. A Hollywood movie that felt spiritually Australian (complimentary)

I'd be in a band with Matt Yglesias. I'd bet he's decent on bass and can sing high harmonies

One theory of mine is that "fame years" cause people to age faster. Example: Johnny Marr was 24 in normal years when The Smiths broke up, but in fame years he was at least 37

"[FDR] was pretty clear when he sought reelection in 1936 -- he literally said, 'the business interests & the financial elites are unanimous in their hatred against me. And I welcome their hatred. That's what I mean by courage -- that you know which side you're on. And if being on the right side means unleashing hatred against you, this doesn't mean that you change your position, but that you stand strong and firm because it's five to midnight, and everything is at stake now, and you know where you want to be at this historic juncture." - @IsabellaMWeber Anti-Fascist Economics video premiere now‼️youtube.com/watch?v=m5Gk-tQ2…

If they win power, Democrats are going to tell us that "affordability" means more austerity and deregulation. Don't accept that.

Defund the Chronicle of Higher Education. We don't need a new "Strategies for Integrating AI Into the Classroom" article in our inboxes every morning.

Most people in France can't afford housing. They didn't blame immigrants, or transgender people, or video games, or avocado toast. They blame the government. Because that's who's responsible. That's always who's responsible.

Apparently Warner Brothers spent 100 million on global promotion for Digger. How does a studio even spend that much money on one movie? Seems sketchy
