Letters

Everything we’ve sent to the list. The three most recent live on the homepage; the rest are here.

  1. on the homepage Today's a Special Day A spirit has been swirling around the planet since the dawn of human history. Fifteen years ago it hatched Occupy Wall Street. Now it's moving again.
  2. Fifteen Years After Zuccotti We had the bastards on the run. Now the theft is total — not just our money, but our meaning. So we're launching a new political party.
  3. on the homepage Gotta Find a Mustang Can't keep riding this 'ol horse 'til it croaks. Gotta find a mustang, one perky sonnuva bitch, and ride it to glory. But what is glory?
  4. on the homepage Pale Blue Dot All our existential crises are global crises. Have you ever thought about the future like this?
  5. We're Stuck in a Machine Its gears chew through us every day — capitalism, war, tech, finance. Mechanized reality, swiped and scrolled. And it's whirring faster.
  6. Raoul Vaneigem Died He was one of my heroes in the 60s. The Revolution of Everyday Life said every intimate little aspect of your life is where it begins.
  7. Addicts, Then Zombies Social media made addicts of three generations. Now AI may turn us into zombies. The more powerful the LLMs get, the more tempting the handover.
  8. Bangers From the Battlefield India's cockroaches have captured the attention of the world, and now it's 1–0 in their face-off with Modi.
  9. The Cockroaches Marched The Cockroaches marched, Modi cracked down, but Gen Z is fighting back with fuckitall fervor.
