Getting up from the couch and going to the bathroom to jerk off is sex tourism

If you call yourself intelligent, you should know that sex tourism in Brazil is not something of now, and that these types of recorded content are something problematic. South America, especially Brazil, is sold to the world with the country of sex and beer and we are not seen by the world as we should be! A country that has a lot of culture, diversity and hospitality. And that we're not just easy sex

Love when people on this website are like, "Good journalism shouldn't do that! Good journalism should do [ thing that would result in good journalism making zero money/not existing ]"

New from me in the NYRB! Last year, the far-right publisher Passage Press began reissuing the original Hardy Boys novels. I wrote about why the books appeal to the far right, and why they resist rigid reactionary interpretations nybooks.com/online/2026/04…

It’s interesting how many aspects of modern political commentary hold up the 1945-1971 postwar period as the natural state of things that was broken by our weird new modernity, when instead maybe it’s more accurate to see this period as profoundly unusual. I think about this with media commentary all the time: “Why can’t we get back to Walter Cronkite, shared sense of reality, etc” A brief and strange information oligopoly created a scarce number of radio/TV stations, which enforced a news monoculture on radio/TV audiences. Whether that was altogether good or bad, it was extremely weird! Look at the 19th century. A zillion newspapers, many of them insane and terrible and partisan. The chaos is what’s normal.

Private-sector unionization in the US was a temporary mid-20th century phenomenon:

The collapse of the Soviet Union saw the greatest peace time reduction in life expectancy and standard of living of any major human population ever. Just an fyi.
