This Republic of Suffering
There was a time in my life when I really thought I was going to work with war for a living. My mother had an uncle who fought in World War II, but as far as I know, that’s the last service member who saw combat in my immediate family. She protested Vietnam, my brother a toddler in tow. Her father was a doctor who pulled extra hours at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, where a Nazi prisoner of war…

I made the mistake recently of listening to the Broadway cast recording of Hadestown, and it’s had me pretty melancholy ever since. One of the tangible benefits of living in New York City is access to the theater scene, although it’s just this side of prohibitively expensive and generally only for very special occasions and out-of-town guests. That means I was lucky enough to see the off-Broadway…

Things I’m Verbing: Flora, fallout and floating birds
I keep following the Chicago Dyke March story because I can’t look away. There is so much evidence I still want to see, and yet so much hatefulness keeps erupting from actors and observers both. In the past week or so, the official CDM Twitter account has reveled in an antisemitic slur it claims it didn’t realize was quite that bad, while the trans Jewish woman who broke the story appears to have…

Fingers crossed we get some good news? https://twitter.com/ejbergdahl/status/880576258714869765 Until then… I almost don’t care if it’s sort of a conspiracy theory at this point, I’m fascinated by this proposition…

The worst thing for me about this whole Chicago Dyke March incident (and others before it) is seeing my progressive activist friends utterly fail to recognize the libels, slanders and tropes that h…
There is nothing about the Chicago Dyke March shit that is not disgusting, hypocritical, and disturbing. There just isn’t.
Important: “Dyke March representatives and allies have made statements such as “[W]e need to be in control of our space just like you wouldn’t accept Nazis in your synagogue.” To compare Jews and/or Zionists to the people who destroyed Jewish populations to the extent that they only recovered to pre-World War II levels worldwide in 2015 is, in fact, textbook antisemitism.”

Aw boy. I really would have preferred to do a link round-up about the inherent hilarity of British English, or the awesome Chicago Mosaic Project, or Lindy West’s op-ed on defending free speech from trolls. Instead, I am here to talk about leftist, progressive and radical antisemitism and last weekend’s Chicago Dyke March. https://twitter.com/democracydiva/status/880075674450620416 Your reaction…

I don’t like to get off-track with posting, but I’m today delighted to have such a fulfilling excuse. For an assignment in my magazine editing class in journalism school, we had to pick a print publication to analyze. I wandered from the Medill newsroom in the Loop to the nearby Sears Tower, which not only boasted a Corner Bakery (their mini-M&M-studded Monster Cookies are just about my favorite)…

Why are we hiding from the memory of World War I? "Why Do So Few Hollywood Movies Take Place During WWI?" Artists would be doing Americans a service by telling these stories again.

I turned 13 in 1997, which, among other things, marked my passage into adulthood as a member of the Jewish people. My bat mitzvah was also the first time I met most of my older cousins for the first time I could remember, and holy moly, suddenly I had a bunch of cool music and culture recommendations to break me out of my Celine Dion/movie soundtracks/exclusively the Beatles bubbles. I joined…

I’m working on deadline today, so this is going to be quick — but in a short and sweet kind of way, rest easy. They’re all good stories, Brent. https://twitter.com/wbm312/status/875218499441901572 What does it mean to be a good cucumber these days?

Today is one of those days where I want to opt out of the news cycle entirely. Any partisan take on shooting up a congressional GOP baseball team’s early morning practice is awful by default, yet I can’t help feeling it will be become a bludgeon by the end of the day, not least from the president, despite his hopes and prayers. Meanwhile, in high Triangle Shirtwaist fashion, a massive fire at a…

D-Day has a hashtag this year: #DDay73. Meanwhile, last night I finally saw Wonder Woman, taking on a different world war, and it’s spawned a cascade of hot takes ranging from “Is it really feminist?” to “You sheeple don’t realize this film is propaganda!” What a time to be alive. Still: https://twitter.com/evanmatyas/status/871736061420072961 If we’re going to talk about improperly lionizing the…

I make a habit of linking as little breaking news or reaction pieces as possible. Given the ridiculous speed with which this administration’s already imaginary moral center collapses into a gravitational singularity, it hardly seems worth trying to keep up with it all. Every once in a while, though, someone gets so furious and so creative with their fury that I have to celebrate it. This week,…

When does advertising become public art? "Where's the Boundary Between Public Art and Advertising?" Whether as process or product, public art and advertising don’t overlap completely, or totally comfortably.
