Faithful Servant
Read more . . . →It got the playlist right for twenty years. Of course they gave it the mic.

The Headcount Came In
Read more . . . →Two days ago the line held. Democrats took the House and the Senate in the kind of sweep that makes cable news anchors use the word “historic” forty times in an hour. Susan Collins is done. Ken Paxton, despite Elon Musk’s wallet, is done. Kansas, Texas, Iowa, South Carolina: places that weren’t supposed to flip until 2032 at the earliest. Sixty-nine percent of the country said this presidency is failing, and for once the ballots agreed with the polls. Thirty-one percent approval turns out to be a real number when you lose 98,000 manufacturing jobs and then ask people to...

Checking for Ripeness
Read more . . . →If she taps it and it sounds hollow she’s putting it back. The 1950s ad styling does all the heavy lifting. Pearls, set hair, produce aisle, hands wrapped around a man’s skull like she’s deciding between this one and the cantaloupe. He knows he’s being tested. She knows she’ll test three more after him. This is every interaction on the internet now, rendered in the visual language of a magazine your grandmother trusted. You are produce. You will be squeezed, evaluated, compared to the one beside you, and either placed in the cart or set back on the pile. The...
