.@JamesTalarico: The reason poverty exists in the wealthiest country on Earth is not because we can't feed the poor. It's because we can't satisfy the rich. Elon Musk is about to become the first trillionaire. He's about to make more money than every elementary school teacher in America combined. Do we really believe one man is worth more than every elementary school teacher? Why do we have a trillionaire when there are kids without enough to eat, cancer patients going bankrupt, and veterans sleeping on the street? I'm all for success, but this is not success. This is hoarding. What leads a person to accumulate more money than they could possibly spend in 100 lifetimes when there are people starving in this one? What we can do is tax trillionaires out of existence and use that money to guarantee food, healthcare, and housing for every single American.

If you’re shopping local and still need a Christmas gift, I signed a bunch of copies of TRY HARD at my fave local bookstore in Toronto, TYPE at 833 Queen St West.

Last day to order a personalized copy to TRY HARD via Type Books. Perfect gift for the holidays! typebooks.ca/products/97807…

Toronto! Tonight (Tuesday) I’ll be signing copies of my book TRY HARD at the Indigo in Yorkdale Mall. 7pm. Come hang out! ticketscene.ca/events/57124

I made this short film about my upcoming book signing at Yorkdale Mall on Nov 25. Also, if you want a signed, personalized copy of try hard for Christmas, our friends at Type Bookstore are helping out! Order now at maxkerman.com

This is not a complaint at all, and it’s also factually wrong, but *in my mind* the following people get NYT/New Yorker profiles twice a year, for the past 10 years: Patti Smith Stephen Malkmus Michael Stipe Toni Morrison Who else is on this list for you?

Congrats Eric!

The first song from our next record, WHAT GOOD? is out now. We humbly ask you to: stream it, share it, and sing it from the rooftops. We feel it from each and every single one of you. arkells.lnk.to/whatgood

A treat. Max here. Today we went back to the first garage I ever played music in. Neighbour’s garage. Invited some die hards. New song out Thursday called “What Good?”

Huge gig today for Arkells @BlueJays

@ZachLowe_NBA I will interview you!

@pescami @Olivia_Reingold @bendreyfuss @mattyglesias I was!

@Olivia_Reingold @bendreyfuss @mattyglesias Canadian Rock Star @Max_Kerman also a fan!!

Hi @esaagar caught a snippet of your recent segment—correcting two things. "She never wrote a f--king story," you said on yesterday's show. Allow me to direct you to two, including one that appeared at the top of the Politico homepage on election day 2020. I was previously a podcast producer and radio reporter. This is my first writing job. I worked nights and weekends to write those stories on top of my podcast producing duties. I also wanted to share my bio for The Free Press. I think you mentioned it overstated my print experience, but I hope you find it more transparent upon closer read. "Olivia Reingold is a staff writer at The Free Press. She co-created and executive produced Matthew Yglesias’s podcast, Bad Takes. She got her start in public radio, regularly appearing on NPR for her reporting on indigenous communities in Montana. She previously produced podcasts at Politico, where she shaped conversations with world leaders like Jens Stoltenberg." I have won a regional award from the Associated Press for my reporting on opioid clinics in rural Georgia and graduated with honors at Columbia Journalism School. All good—but I would appreciate it if you could please do what you can to make your audience aware of these facts. politico.com/news/magazine/… politico.com/news/magazine/…

Sound the alarm. New Arkells coming:

@Max_Kerman I went book shopping in 🇨🇦 this afternoon and thought of you. 📚
