We are open for business. SEQUENTIAL WORD BUSINESS. Send us your writing or tell your friends to send us their writing. Tell strangers who look like they might write; maybe you'll make a new friend who will later inevitably betray you.

If there is any question about how my subconscious feels about today, I just left my office and immediately started walking to my 2 o’clock class instead of my 10 o’clock class.

I might have to swap out "Offloading for Mrs. Schwartz" for a different Saunders story for my intro creative writing class. So many students are like, I don't have any idea what's happening here. I never thought it was a confusing story, but this is a pretty consistent response now.

There's a cool seventeen days until subs open. I know all the folk say send us your best but we mean it. Send everyone else your second-best. They'll still think it's the best because that's what they asked for and let's be honest, they aren't gonna expect this level of sly trickery.

I wonder how long before private equity owns everything and has hollowed out all structures of economic activity and is puppeting a mask of American life while we all die.

Saw a poll recently showing Donald Trump’s lowest approval rating ever. JD Vance polled significantly better, largely because a lot of respondents said they didn’t know enough about him. Don’t let people forget Vance and is just as shitty.

Border Czar Tom Homan was caught by the FBI accepting bribes - on camera - to deliver government contracts in exchange for $50,000 in cash. Pam Bondi knew. Kash Patel knew. Emil Bove knew. And they made the investigation go away. A corrupt attempt to conceal brazen graft.

coates is genuinely a generational writer
What are we to make of a man who called for the execution of the American president, and then was executed himself? What are we to make of an NFL that, on one hand, encourages us to "End Racism," and, on the other, urges us to commemorate an unreconstructed white supremacist? And what of the writers, the thinkers, and the pundits who cannot separate the great crime of Kirk's death from the malignancy of his public life? Can they truly be so ignorant to the words of a man they have so rushed to memorialize? I don't know. But the most
telling detail in Klein's column was that, for all his praise, there was not a single word in the piece from Kirk himself.

let me throw some fuel on the fire that is the discourse about boys getting laid!!! current-day manopshere content is not good at getting boys laid and that's an effect of the incentives at play. you cannot build an audience of resentful little virgins if you succeed at helping them to have sex

I am having a hard time reconciling "Charlie Kirk was a fierce advocate of open dialogue and free expression" with "we must identify and persecute everyone who is insufficiently mournful"
nbcnews.com
After Charlie Kirk's death, teachers and professors nationwide fired or disciplined over social media posts
At least a dozen faculty and staff have faced fallout over insensitive comments online.

This man will not be fired for calling for the murder of American citizens, yet multiple journalists/reporters/teachers lost their job for accurately reporting things Charlie Kirk actually said and stood for. But it’s the “violent left” that’s the problem

There has been a rush among centrists like Gavin Newsom and Ezra Klein to brush over the hateful life of Charlie Kirk and valorize the man. Let me be clear, killing Charlie Kirk was wrong and abhorrent. We must condemn murder without sanitizing a man who built his empire on hate. My latest piece.

We Must Not Posthumously Sanitize Charlie Kirk's Hateful Life
Influential anti-LGBTQ+ activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated on Wednesday. While condemning violence is something most can get behind, sanitization of his hate has gone too far.
