this morning, mamdani’s team got in touch with me to float a new tax proposal: if your net worth exceeds $5 million and you dress badly, you’ll be hit with a 10% annual levy for “visual pollution.” i would be in charge of deciding if the outfits are bad.

The question of our time is how do you artistically rebel — and win — against a totally flat cultural landscape? And before my readers, who I assume are all approximately 36 years old and very tired, say, “so what, who cares?” This does matter. I mean, just look around right now lol. You know things are bad when even OpenAI President Greg Brockman is posting stuff, like “Taste is a new core skill.” If people had taste, your company wouldn’t exist, Greg. But if everything is just attention now, and attention is completely commodified by algorithmic tech platforms, how can you push back against that? Well, I am slowly coming around to a theory on the new cool: You have to essentially pre-deplatform yourself. Culture right now is determined not by human teams of editors and producers picking and choosing what youth culture gets the spotlight, but, instead, by the unthinking algorithms that power YouTube and TikTok. Which means the only things that have the level of scarcity and danger required to be seen as cool by young people will, slowly, but surely, be whatever is unacceptable on those platforms.

A post so smart I'm almost afraid to share it.

Great sitting down with Brian Tyler Cohen to talk about everything from the courage we saw in Minnesota, to how Democrats can be true to our values and get stuff done, to how we’re building a community of changemakers at the Obama Foundation. youtube.com/watch?v=uI-hgSE5QIw

We spent last weekend walking down Devon, connecting with neighbors and listening to what they care about.

More interviews coming soon!

We are serious about getting this on TV, but that also costs money.

I'm Kat Abughazaleh and I approve this message.

i’m disappointed in both of you for your lack of critical thinking and literacy!!! genuinely embarrassing to be so wrong and loud about it! like wow world record for being the most undereducated libs

are you actually braindead bc it seems like you probably are lacking brain cells. what do you think this is getting you? like we are living through nazi germany part two and this is what you’re focused on? get an education please

and what exactly are you doing????? get off your couch and DO SOMETHING instead of attacking the one man in the public eye who is speaking out

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Is this the slop content I'm always hearing about

Here’s how to use them:

I never had a Spotify subscription, but I’m spreading the word of the boycott. Any outfit advertising for ICE needs to be frozen out.

are we allowed to talk about how communism is good again yet or is that still, like, off limits

Heard about the Louvre jewel heist and my first thought was “finally, some good old fashioned normal crime”
