I miss when “trauma” meant “I need to learn to walk again after a high-speed traffic collision” and not “my mom called me her ‘little chunky monkey’ when I was five and my therapist says it’s her fault I have an eating disorder”

Thomas Chatterton Williams but she sometimes forgot to utilize the 'whiteness' fig leaf of plausible deniability. sometimes she directly stated 'white men'

inconceivable any other us president would welcome putin this way. we’ll see what comes of it shortly.

It’s a dumb article, sure, but also embarrassingly badly written. The New Yorker used to be legendary for the quality of its writers’ prose. William Shawn is spinning in his grave. Inconceivable.

Sorry I can't! I'm locked in to the German Shopping Cart Return Championships...

Very much agree here. Doreen St. Felix is deeply unsympathetic but this is just insane

Who are the American novelists who seem to have the best knowledge and understanding of the greatest number of countries outside of the United States? This guy has got to be somewhere on that list:

Andrea Long Chu is not impressed by DEI. Keeanga Yamahtta Taylor, otoh, in the emblematic elite over-interpretation of elite diversification, championed it in The New Yorker on grounds that Kamala Harris and Claudine Gay's "presence" is "radical." vulture.com/article/post-g…

It’s very dangerous to have an explicitly partisan police force. Under normal circumstances, this officer would be disciplined. But he can’t even be identified. And it’s not out of the question that he wouldn’t be rewarded by this administration.

Thomas Chatterton Williams’ new book decries the left’s adoption of identity politics while defending free speech. deseret.com/politics/2025/…

An enormous amount of what people call "fighting" online is really nothing more than being as big an asshole as possible and calling that toughness.
