Daniel Kolitz

@sm_osment :’) moved, thank you !!

As part of the application materials for a job teaching first year writing, I pitched a class on loneliness that included @danielkolitz 's extraordinary essay. Huge congrats to Daniel—I hope to teach your work in some form one day.

@katienotopoulos not a peep from the community but i’d like to think they’re pleased…

@danielkolitz congrats, and may i ask if you've been in touch with any of the gooners and do they know. are they proud

Pretty thrilled about this, i have to say…

Harper’s believes that writers deserve the time, space, and editorial trust to pursue ambitious reporting wherever it leads. We’re grateful to see that tradition recognized by ASME for Daniel Kolitz’s “The Goon Squad” (National Magazine Award for Feature Writing). Read the article below. harpers.org/archive/2025/1…

@lionel_trolling thank you John…

congratulations to @danielkolitz for his big gooning win

I spent two weeks at a Mars simulator for @Harpers 🤍It's a piece about brave utopian impulses, and the important (and sad) ways in which they can't quite get us to utopia. harpers.org/archive/2026/0…

🚨 🚨 The Harper’s Gooner article has finally been translated into German 🚨 🚨

For the newly relaunched Magazine, I wrote about the complete reshaping of human culture by the Phone, and our weakness before it — and how it reminds me of a canonical A.I. doom scenario. nytimes.com/2026/04/06/mag…

@viajoshhunt Ha, late to this—have been reading your recent freelancer threads with great interest & at times fear, flattered to be the subject of one…

for the @studyhallxyz podcast, I had a very illuminating conversation with the legend himself @danielkolitz about internet journalism, gonzo reporting, and “generations.” podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…

We’re excited to announce that the American Society of Magazine Editors has recognized Daniel Kolitz’s (@danielkolitz) “The Goon Squad” and John Jeremiah Sullivan’s “Twain Dreams” as finalists for the National Magazine Awards.

@aaronpcalvin :’) my buddy, my friend!

How many magazine features generate weeks of discussion and break through the daily news churn? Lets give @danielkolitz this award plus a million dollars to keep the excellent work coming (no pun intend).

@daisandconfused is it weird to like a reply + then respond to it 23 hrs later? never learned the etiquette haven’t posted enough…but anyway thank you Daisy!

@danielkolitz well deserved!

Thrilled to see this—wonder if they know about the National Magazine Awards in the GoonVerse and related Discord servers—also for the record this thing would not exist in any form without Elena, best in the business as is widely known & accepted by all
