The Economist ran a terrible article this week about a study about transgender teens that had major methodology issues. It mentions this... At the very end of the article. Why bother publishing this? It seems like every time The Economist runs anything about trans people, it's always negative and poorly done.

the recent issue (#41) of the The Baffler is out online finally and my thoughts are thus: Hits include what could be a contentious Adolph Reed piece on black celebrity and uplift that is just loving super good a Nathaniel Friedman article that quite succinctly frames out La Zona de Succ in the context of successive presidential administrations. Usually this guy is writing about SPORTS and sure enough he threw together some thoughts about NiKaep just today. Misses include a meandering Russell Jacoby (30 years down the road wow) essay about... diversity and its malcontents? I lost the thread of his argument and realized I still had 6 pages to read holy poo poo. Also some nonsense about video games as art wow shocker! which... I guess the author is Old or has lived in a cave for ten years. The theme of the issue is "self-care" and how the modern super-atomized individualistic incumbency of such things is dumb and bad which I generally agree with. Maybe about a 7/10 this time around.

a couple issues of n+1 ago there was an essay about terfs by andrea long chu that i thought was pretty good. she has a new article in the chronicle of higher education about a MeToo case that has been rocking academia lately because the abuser (who was obviously guilty) got the support of a lot of big feminist scholars like judith butler https://www.chronicle.com/article/I-Worked-With-Avital-Ronell-I/24441 quote:The course was called “Outrageous Texts.” Like most purportedly edgy things, it was less edgy than it imagined. In practice, outrageous mostly meant some dead white dudes with weird sexual hang-ups. Sometimes we mixed it up; the dudes were still alive. When we did read women (four of the 15 writers assigned), Avital still mostly talked about men. Her lecture on Valerie Solanas’s SCUM Manifesto, like the introduction she wrote for Verso’s edition of that book, focused on Nietzsche and Derrida. articulates a lot of common viewpoints about old powerful assholes making up excuses why the rules shouldnt apply to them because theyre One Of The Good Ones

new issue of The Point showed up, I'm actually grudgingly coming to appreciate my sub more and might not cancel as I originally was thinking with the new year. they publish a bunch of (forgive my lack of a better more nuanced term) weird poo poo that falls well outside my wheelhouse that initially I couldn't be arsed with reading simply by dint of its obscurity or extreme tendency towards navelgazing. but I'm accepting more and more of the esoteric works as actually challenging and mentally expanding in a Good Way. not in like a Both Sides way because gently caress reactionary conservative garbage. yes it's a UofChicago publication  a v good succinct mashup of Meek Mill's and Paul Manafort's contemporaneous run-ins with the carceral state a truly lovely examination of the ebb and flow of the cultural perspective on black classical musicians[/url] here's something I didn't enjoy, this guy's (never heard of him) consideration of "socialist" theory on punitive justice. I put the quotes because there's an almost absurd level of tonal and terminology shift constantly occurring within his essay that is either... dadaistly intentional?? or (far more likely) the result of a lack of real grounding in actual socialist theory. anyway piss tape is real
