have never felt more secure in this belief (this is an appalling statement) lithub.com/pen-president-…
the world is obscene; read all about it @Harpers harpers.org/harpers-index/…
"We have never heard his voice. Accounts of the color of his eyes vary. A dark blue-gray seems the vague consensus." Joy Williams on Kafka in @Harpers harpers.org/archive/2024/0…
"I’ve held a bottle to my baby’s lips at sunrise, thinking, yes, he will be America’s first king, it is written in the stars. I’ve huffed his scalp." perfect Piepenbring piece pondering paternity in the new @Harpers harpers.org/archive/2024/0…
When those charming guys on the street who solicit donations for st jude's or whatever flag me down they always open with "hey mister CEO!" Are other people getting this? i've seen others get "alright SUNGLASSES" and "here comes james bond" but not me. And I don't care for it!!
when I was in quaker elementary school this kid in the year above used to get up and deliver full synopses of SpongeBob episodes
nothing but love for the young guy in a suit on the subway this morning with "JOB INTERVIEW 11AM" written in sharpie on his hand.... go get em tiger
for incisive coverage of the 2024 election look no further than the @Harpers index (trustworthy, clever, written by a cool fun guy)
In the new @Harpers, we've reprinted a harrowing series of Telegram messages sent by Muhammad Sultan, who lives in Gaza, to his sister in Norway harpers.org/archive/2024/0…
i love that some editor was like "why can't we get the clicks NY mag gets...we need to break the internet with a big buzzy list" and this is what they came up with lol theatlantic.com/books/archive/…
going viral on here is easy, actually: you just post a picture of someone and say they look like judith butler. happens every week. i could do this but choose not to!!!
Woke with an urge to watch a Bergman film that I love but remember little of, not even the name, just a scene of Bibi Andersson playing violin, and a gnawing sadness I felt when it ended…I now realize there is no such film, never was, total false memory. but now i NEED to see it
They're filming Batman outside the Harper's office. Asked a guy how it's going. "You know the drill," he said. I nodded. "How about you, what issue did you just close, April? Loved the Lerner piece. America's most interesting magazine...stranger and better than you might expect."
"Being too good was bad. Being bad was also, of course, bad." Great column by Dan Piepenbring in the latest @Harpers, on all manner of deathly things (funeral homes, nuns, psychoanalysis) harpers.org/archive/2024/0…
Rare W in a gloomy world, @willstep_ and this now ASME-nom’d piece are genuinely brilliant: harpers.org/archive/2023/0…
.@IChotiner speaks to an obstetrician who just returned from the war zone in Gaza about what the Israeli bombardment has meant for maternal care. nyer.cm/jDZaP8g

Wife accused me of stealing her élite moisturizer because I’ve been looking “way too dewy.” And guess what? She’s right. Stuff is a game changer that they’ve been hiding from us, boys.
An older guy on the train had an interesting phone path this morning: first he looked at his to-do list, which had two items: “integrate more with faculty” and “chamomile tea.” Then he started playing a Sade song; then he just scrolled slowly through his settings.
I spoke to @nywarcrimes about their project, which began as a means of holding the NYT accountable for its role in the genocide of Palestinians. It’s now becoming something even bigger than that: thebaffler.com/latest/stealin…
@_ryanruby_ it's obviously sincerity. we take ourselves and our irony way too seriously to not be sincere! we can't help being sincere anymore! we've lost the plot, which is the most sincere thing a person or culture could possibly do
Harper’s has managed to stay interesting while so many of its peers have descended into catatonia. I wonder if that has anything to do with never bothering with a digital transition. Have to give Rick and his capacity to live blithely in the red some credit.
@elenasb_ @char_leelee I recently got a “hey boss lady!” (but I misheard it as “boss baby” and glared at the guy, who said “sorry, boss lady,” quite sadly. the guilt haunts me tbh)
@char_leelee They've said "On her way to a power lunch!" to me before. Made me feel good!
New Yorker writer quoting a marine like “Hoöah!”
Meanwhile Harper’s is rather like a boutique. There are very few of us; our operation (the resources at our disposal, etc) is dwarfed many times over by that of those considered our competitors—whom we yet manage to rival (by not running Zionist cover stories, eg). Do subscribe!
