what the heck is a vibeshift?

and other ramblings

I wrote about Jordan Peterson! The Point has a Substack!

huge day for public intellectuals, both fake and real

a question

and a line in the sand

a brief addendum

in response to my critic(s)

why i am skeptical that substack can or should replace legacy media

in light of recent developments at my workplace and a recent argument with some guy online, i’ve been thinking a little bit about the idea that substack (or some platform like it) could serve as a replacement for “legacy” media (or really any publication with certain institutional safeguards in place, e.g., editors, fact-checkers, and enough resources to support serious reporting).

please write a letter to the publisher and CEO of my workplace

about the company's sudden decision not to endorse presidential candidates....

Two new reviews!
