@SorayaSpaghetti I'm ready for it, because you're absolutely right.

Inherent Vice is PTA’s best movie but most of you aren’t ready for that conversation
Steven Powell@EllroyReader
I may be alone in this but I think Inherent Vice is a vastly superior Pynchon adaptation than One Battle After Another. It has none of the preachy, bloated and cartoonish tone of OBAA, and the broad humour works better as it is a parody.

Went to the unproblematic movie after eating an intersectional sandwich and now I am making space for my truth.

At any given moment on this platform, there is a statistically good chance that you will encounter writing advice. These people are all experts with dizzying resumes of literary achievement, and you should listen uncritically to every word they say.

@Eli_B_Again The guy makes a living debating teenage girls. Not exactly a philosopher king.

@GingerichJon It's generally confusing to me how often I see people say they think he's intelligent.

@HellsBitchen_ Idiotic take. It's a nice neighborhood, and the Cloisters, Ft Tryon Park, etc. are awesome.

If you ever find yourself at this station, something has gone very, very wrong in your life

HOLY MOLY!! This NYC Subway station entrance is very unique because it’s carved directly into a ridge of Manhattan schist bedrock!! 🚇🪨😲 📍190th Street Station on the A Train

@motsdemaelys Everything is problematic because I went to college.
English
honestly i'm this close to quitting reading for good. every single author i actually love turns out to be problematic or worse. i'm so tired of finding out after i already got attached. feels like i can't enjoy anything anymore without a background check first

@katefolk We have to give ours—who is very old—this gross liver-flavor concoction so she’ll stay hydrated. She loves it, so it works, but I wish I could ask her: Why not just drink water?
English
@La_PsyChiq @maddenifico @StephF7504 Nothing would surprise me. In addition to being a compulsive liar, a garden-variety narcissist, and a deranged con man, he is also very mentally unwell.
English
@maddenifico @StephF7504 Lol he didn't really repost this...did he?
The fact that I'm sincerely unsure speaks volumes :]
English
This is Goebbels-esque propaganda of a delusional D-list reality TV personality with a messiah complex.

@TulikaBose_ Taking up smoking was one of the worst decisions I ever made & quitting took years. Never again. The idea of writing anything that recasts the parasitic corporate death cult known as the U.S. tobacco industry—which still spends $30 M a year on lobbying—as glamorous is disgusting.

As a health reporter / editor — who commissioned this?
Is lung cancer a sexy aesthetic? GTFO
New York Magazine@NYMag
“Lately, I’ve been thinking about smoking. All the time,” writes author Xochitl Gonzalez. “With each passing day of this absolutely deranged year, my desire to contemplate how to make sense of it all while puffing on a cigarette grows.” Part of this smoking thing is a yearning for the past, admits Gonzalez. Not in an effort to recapture her youth, but to recapture an approach to time and life. “I can’t personally slow down technology or fix media or the demands of capitalism or any of the other existential things that have crept into our lives,” she writes. “But maybe what I can do is stop what I’m doing, ask somebody to come outside, and take five minutes to slow down with me while I engage in the very dangerous act of holding a flaming stick to my face. This could be my rebellion.” Read Gonzalez’s full essay: nymag.visitlink.me/55vbET

@thomashobohm I asked her the exact same question on the very same post. Never got a response. This isn't even Econ. 101; very young children understand the concept that you can't pay x amount when you only have y amount of dollars.
English
@UrbaneUrban I love those. Also: 67th Ave (M/R) in Rego Park, West 4th stop in the Village, and Bedford-Nostrand on the G.
English
@katie_campione But if the organization doesn't have any money, how would you expect it to pay its staff more?
English
Personally, I think this gives the same energy as telling people that if they want service workers to make a living wage they should tip more. It puts the entire economic burden on the consumer.

As a former Baffler staffer and ongoing contributor, if you want the magazine to pay more—subscribe! There’s an easy way to support little literary magazines paying their writers, and that’s to subscribe to them.
English
• People stop paying for the news. • “Why doesn’t this editing job pay well?” • People stop reading books. • “Why is publishing dying?” • People stop buying albums. • “Why does music today suck so bad?” • People stop going out. • “Why did all the cool bars close?”

The idea that comedy should be funny is nothing but right wing propaganda. The true purpose of comedy is to educate people into having the correct political views.
English
@katie_campione Where do you live? I’ve lived in NYC most of my life. Never paid anywhere near 4k a month ever. The real issue here is the delusion of entitled white transplants who somehow expect to be paid $150 k a year to work at a small print mag with no ad revenues and dwindling readers.
English
The low income threshold in NYC is $65,050 for an individual. After taxes that's ~$4,000/month. Meanwhile, median rent in NYC is approaching...$4,000/month. So, I'm not really sure we can keep making this argument.
jon repetti@pourfairelevide
we should all make more money, but some of you need to stop talking like 65k a year with benefits in NYC is abject poverty
English
I’m not a socialist, but it seems bizarre that socialists on this site seem to allocate more energy toward advocating for $150k salaries for NYC magazine writers than for policies that would enrich the global poor who live on less than $2 per day.
Arash Azizi آرش عزیزی@arash_tehran
This person is not joking and then goes on to recommend that socialism should actually stand for this — if we are to have a serious Left again, these people can’t be anywhere near it

“Democrats trying to normalize Piker are making a mistake. He is not just a cool, edgy guy who wants universal health care. Nor is he disliked simply because he speaks up for Palestinians, as his supporters would claim. The core problem with Hasan Piker is that he is, at the most basic level, an ideological authoritarian. He promotes violence and repression whenever that violence and repression have a socialist lean.” thedispatch.com/article/hasan-…

Econ 101: If your dream job is in a dying industry characterized by nonexistent ad revenue & dwindling readership, don't be shocked that when a blue-moon opportunity comes along, it probably doesn't pay $$$. Whale-oil fishing & steam locomotive operators aren't $$$ in 2026 either
English
@NotADebacle @ckayerawlings It’s impressive that someone can keep circling back to offer takes so consistently stupid, and to do so with such childlike confidence that I feel like I'm watching you devolve in real-time. It's like I'm watching you approach a subatomic density of stupidity at this point.
English
@GingerichJon @ckayerawlings Damn with writing that clever it's no wonder nobody reads print media anymore
English
It is in fact undignified for someone mid career to live with roommates. And most people would not want this regardless of your aesthetic-political evaluation of that desire.
