The New Yorker. Do you know any good sites for middlebrow essays about literature?
Anything owned by Conde Nast is trash
Agreed, NYer cartoons have been shit since Bob Mankoff left. Where have all the good neurotic israelites gone?

>thought piece
I'm pretty sure that excludes /misc/
People meme about the Atlantic but I find that it has a lot of articles that prod at liberal dogma and question it. It is a thoughtful liberal publication
15-20 years ago they were good

Couldn't link to an original article on shipbreaking in 2011
It was a little more center right years ago ??
Just a vague memory so I can't completely back up my statement.
As a wagie in the trades the ship breaking article stuck in my memory.
Short stories are hit and miss same with the Atlantic
Cartoons are getting weak imo
unironically the free press
unz review
The Atlantic used to be decent, it’s been absolutely horrible since the paywall. The Arthur Brooks articles are some of the gayest stuff available online. London Review of Books, that’s a good one.

>top story is pro-censorship, penned by wokeist professor who was exposed as a fraud on Conversations with Tyler
no thanks
Speech wounds if you're weak. Women really ought to stay out of politics. They are pure violence and sterile violence.
I THINK PIECES MYSELF BY THINKING ALL EVENING LONG ABOUT THE SUBJECT I'M INTERESTED IN THEN I DREAM ABOUT THE SUBJECT I'M INTERESTED IN IN A NOVEL WAY
Substack I suppose
I think myself about anything that picks my interest.

What's wrong with zerohedge?
They just copy/paste with minimal revision from other people
What do they write that isn't overtly political?
Lots of financial stories. They don't write them though, only host them I believe.
palladium is WEF mouthpiece fyi
How much of a brainless homosexual do you have to be to be reading the Atlantic and the israelite Yorker? Hahahahaha
Is that dajoos? I have to check that out now.
All of it is. Frick the Atlantic and all that gay trendy shit only popular because rich people fund it, are you an NPC?

This one isn't bad, I bet a lot of anons would like this shit.
>What is the most uninformative statement that people are inclined to make? My nominee would be “I love to travel.” This tells you very little about a person, because nearly everyone likes to travel; and yet people say it, because, for some reason, they pride themselves both on having travelled and on the fact that they look forward to doing so.
>The opposition team is small but articulate. G. K. Chesterton wrote that “travel narrows the mind.” Ralph Waldo Emerson called travel “a fool’s paradise.” Socrates and Immanuel Kant—arguably the two greatest philosophers of all time—voted with their feet, rarely leaving their respective home towns of Athens and Königsberg. But the greatest hater of travel, ever, was the Portuguese writer Fernando Pessoa, whose wonderful “Book of Disquiet” crackles with outrage:
And I honestly agree with it, I would like to move somewhere and live there for a while, but being a tourist is the literal goyslop of "acquiring culture". It is understandable if you feel like relaxing, but that is somewhat different.
>Socrates said that philosophy is a preparation for death. For everyone else, there’s travel.
Absolutely brutal.
I usually feel like the New Yorker puts out pretentious progressive nonsense (and a quick look at the recommended section proves that), but this was excellent.
>is that le MAGA?
Nice hack writing
>He has promoted a theory that Wi-Fi radiation causes cancer and “leaky brain,” saying it “opens your blood-brain barrier.” >He has suggested that antidepressants might have contributed to the rise in mass shootings.
>He told me he believes that Ukraine is engaged in a “proxy” war
What it it with mainstream liberal publications and labling anything they disagree with a "conspiracy theory".. It's like a word designed precisely to terminate thought, to signal to their readers that the following goes outside the boundrary of acceptable thought.
The first isn't known, but is not totally implausible given that apparently there's been very little research into the health effects of WI-FI and the government actually discontinued research funding into it. But the study they did with rats at high intensity frequency found a carcinogenic effect, so not hard to imagine that constantly exposing ourselves to low levels could have an effect too.
The second I'm not sure, but given that prescribing anti-depressants has increased massively and mass shooters ofren have mental issues, not insane to imagine there could be some linkage.
The third point is just a fact, that Ukraine is a proxy war between the U.S and Russia, not even controversial.
KEK they are doing shit to expand their voter base. That is kinda based if he is LARPing, which he most definitely is, but I don't think he will ever admit it. Being a politician is kinda KEK nowadays.
sizeof(cat) is IQfy and political sometimes but it's the only thing other than AO3 fics that I read that's not news
