Hi!
Thanks for opening this email / reading this post.

This Pride month, please gag with me at the GOOP x Emily Dickinson Museum brand activation, followed by a SLAY drag brunch at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. Boots!
A thought-provoking essay to give you something to talk about during a lull at any Pride event. I also like the extent to which the author is critical - catty, but several stops before language policing.
Liz Itkowsky says that poetry will become the new form of currency in the next decade and your worth will be determined by how much Hart Crane you can recite.
If you think the United States sucks, you’re not cynical, just on trend.
The Boston mayoral race has been a very entertaining look into the derangement of the billionaire donor class as Bob Kraft, IDF enthusiast and connoisseur of strip mall handjobs, is trying to help his most special boy buy a city. This whole thing would be a lot scarier if Josh Kraft had any platform aside from, “my friends in Weston find bike lanes irritating.”
If you’re a leftist but feel uncomfortable with the American left’s platform, or lack thereof, this interview is a satisfying listen. As a former member and current beneficiary of the PMC (Professional Managerial Class), I’m intrigued by this style rigorous self-critique, especially when it’s focused on the latent compliance that makes this whole digusting machine keep churning.
Tunes to start the week with:
The Chilean miners have just been rescued, Lady Gaga is wearing a meat dress, and the Four Lokos are flowing. Listen to the new Clipse single and be transported to a different time. If you have loved their bizarre, jarring allusions in the past (“Patty cake” on “Grindin” always makes me laugh), there is a line on the new single about yellow diamonds that will knock your socks off.
