ALT The cover of The Nation magazine, November 2022 issue, titled "(Mis)Adventures in the Manosphere." It features a painting of a person with wavy hair wearing a gray shirt against a dark background. The cover also lists feature articles by Rebecca Solnit and on the topics of the Midterms and Janet Malcolm. The background is a light purple.
There are vile and amoral political actors who will stop at nothing to promote their venal interests—and then there’s Vivek Ramaswamy. thenation.com/article/politi…

So sad about this.
For the past five years or so, I’ve been immersed in late 19th C to mid 20th C Sci Am, reading issues that Robert Frost would have read—it was one of his favorite science publications, along with MIT’s Technology Review and the NYT.

Today in @thenation: a jaw-dropping investigation from Emmet Frazier (@moresycamore) on the damage that corporate and political interference caused to Scientific American. The stuff that Emmet uncovered from inside the magazine is NUTS. A must-read. thenation.com/article/societ…

What happened to Scientific American? When the Trump administration threatened to end federal subscriptions to scientific journals that expressed political opinions, its corporate owners chose profit over free speech. @moresycamore reports: thenation.com/article/societ…
I believe that Hungary’s example is apropos, especially given Trump’s admiration for Orbán and his personal endorsement of the autocrat’s failed reelection campaign. So this summer, I traveled to Budapest, the capital of Hungary and long the heart of resistance to Orbánism, to see how the new government, under Prime Minister Péter Magyar, is faring in its attempts at re-democratization after nearly two decades of autocratic rule. thenation.com/article/world/…

Lady of the Moors. Who was Emily Brontë?

The growth and ubiquity of the data centers embody the theorist Mark Fisher’s idea of "science fiction capital," writes @lisquart. The centers are avatars of tech monopolies, which calculate probabilities and promise surplus value in the future but also threaten humans’ jobs and sense of meaning in the present. thenation.com/article/activi…
The moral compass and basic humanity of political leaders really does matter. thenation.com/article/world/…

“ In her grief, and perhaps also because of an inability to communicate what Emily was really like, Charlotte depicted her genius sister as a kind of feral savant—a “native and nursling of the moors,” as she put it—who was somehow otherworldly.”
Earlier this year, Sarah Chihaya was diagnosed with MSA—a terminal neurodegenerative disease. Right now, she can no longer read or write—this will be her last piece. And it's a brilliant one about Emily Brontë and unknowability. thenation.com/article/cultur…
