I'm in the new issue of @commonwealmag with an essay adapting the lecture I gave at @stjohnscollege last year on Alasdair MacIntyre, Dorothy Day, Wendell Berry, 90s lo-fi music, and working with obsolete technology.

You have to admit it's pretty funny that the grift economy is now so overinflated that there are people out there whose whole deal is "literary criticism for people who can't read"
As of today, my book, The Hunt, is available at bookstores everywhere.
It’s a story about the American West — about ideology, politics, power, and wolves.
Alex Karp now says that Palantir is progressive, he’s always been a Democrat, Trump went too far on immigration and his primary commitment is to economic justice. LMAOOOOOO
Thanks to everyone who has connected with my ongoing tour — for my new book TROOP MOVEMENTS.
I have appreciated the conversations across events, podcasts, interviews, etc.
Checkout the book — and get in touch!
More to come…

NEW: a much beloved “rank punditry” @KnowYrEnemyPod episode — a happy one, for once — on the midterms, with our first takes especially on how the right is metabolizing (or not) the drubbing they took https://t.co/J9xOtfASAU
My new album is out today! 70 minutes, 28 songs, all played and produced by me, available on streaming and Bandcamp! And it’s Bandcamp Friday so there’s never been a better time to buy buy buy!
🚨Mamdani’s message to Jews concerned about election of Israel critics:
“I represent the most Jewish city in the USA, and I know that there are some Jewish New Yorkers, for example, that may have a different set of opinions on Israel and Palestine as I do, and that doesn't mean that I work any less hard to deliver for them across the board.
“I think that's the same truth for anyone who was elected last night.”
What I mean by "self-appointed": there are millions of American workers who are (alas) not members of DSA, but who may be members of other working class organizations, and who are poised to mobilize to pressure Congress to restore medicaid and ACA subsidies, stop the war in Iran, and cease arming Israel. I don't think convincing them not to bother should be a DSA priority.
NGO lanyards who wanted Bernie Bros to stop being mean to Warren: "progressive leaders", according to Sam
The largest mass movement of workers for socialism in our country's history: "a self appointed vanguard"
Zohran Mamdani: “It’s not enough for us as Democrats to win power. We have to use that power to deliver change that Americans can feel in their wallets. When you look at these campaigns, if we want to speak about James Talarico, he campaigned on a vision for universal childcare. If you want to talk about Keisha Lance Bottoms, she campaigned on a vision of cutting red tape to build housing. If you want to talk about Jocelyn Benson, she campaigned on a moratorium for data centers. What I’m excited to see now is a recognition that the work is only just starting and this has to be delivered for working people across the country”
