For those who still think Graham Platner's Nazi tattoo says nothing about his politics - here he is approvingly citing far-right conspiracist Stew Peters, who denied the Holocaust in 2024.

MrBeast meets Veit Harlan. Is it really not possible to get accounts like this banned?

That day on the floor

did Mandelson write this copy

"third world orcs."

I was asked by a respectable publication to write about "tradwives" last fall and my reply included these paragraphs. it's possible to say no

I am actually looking for ways to look and feel younger. If you have any suggestions besides trenbolone candy vapes—I already do that…sixseven

just had a sad thought. Peter Attia could have reversed Biden's aging and he didn't help. that lost us the election. he could have prevented all of it

we had two popular films—limitless and dune—which clearly demonstrated the power of fish oil pills, yet most of you don't take them. which is why you're getting lifemogged by codchads when you turn 80. "how come I'm not a bodybuilder with a 300 iq and a permanent erection?" because you didn't listen

I am actually a longevity expert. it's a side-interest of mine. I can tell just by looking at you and asking a few questions about diet and supplementation whether you've got any chance at cracking the 120 club. mostly it's bad news

I think it's a bit much to let him go over this. like sure, it's weird to be connected to Jeffrey Epstein, but he has a lot of longevity knowledge. why not simply place him on leave for 75 years?

classic. I thought that name looked familiar

I wish I had known at the time that the next generation of cinéma parlant were my exact contemporaries in new york, they were really doing the thing. works against nostalgia and makes me wonder what's happening now

Book club scams are now threatening authors who don't fall for their BS. In December, I received an email from Herry Sharp, so-called CEO of "Super Book Lover Curator" praising my novella We Who Hunt Alexanders. Totally AI-generated and a scam so I didn't respond. Now Herry is threatening me. 1/

correction

The best write up I've ever read on the group I used to be affiliated with.

is it possible that the "honey badger epic bacon chuck norris narwhal" stuff which peaked with guys like chuck wendig skipped a generation and is now re-emerging as "rizz skibidi aura-mogged by six seven?"

saw this and instantly thought of the beau travail guy

a bit interested in the people who get through a cycle of being yelled at online, perhaps genuinely unfairly, and don't radicalize as a result. it makes sense, even if something is hurtful or frustrating or illustrates something genuinely off in culture, it shouldn't disturb your basic commitments

Michael Silverblatt, 'genius' host of KCRW literary show 'Bookworm,' dies at 73

Just heard the news about Michael Silverblatt. Literature will be a colder place without him in it. Irreplaceable. RIP

today I remembered when a friend of mine, around 2001, told me about "a cool forum" called somethingawful. he said it cost ten bucks and I said only a SUCKER would pay ten dollars to go online. I wasn't sure how you could pay for something through the computer anyway. that probably saved my life...

it sucked to have to write my own chatgpt prompts for sports betting until I realized I could get it to write its own. problem solved. I hooked it up to my bank account and now I'm just pressing return. that's also how I write my posts here. compared to typing, it's nice that it leaves a hand free

I was invited recently to a conference that was funded by a guy who I was very unsurprised to find in the epstein files. no one believes me when I say this but I'm a nice person and I'm trying hard to say yes to invitations. just not to stuff like this... www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6eK...

fair play to Slobodian and Ypi for dropping out of this right away. I would have been rather surprised to see either of them play with fascist pseuds like Yarvin and indeed they don't.

Just asked ChatGPT to say 67. And it did. Any advice for cleaning a keyboard?

Another day another no. Welcome to sir’s dungeon buttondown.com/jackie_ess/a...

Very odd conference at a luxury hotel featuring Quinn Slobodian, Lea Ypi, Peter Sloterdijk, and Curtis Yarvin. I think that sometimes people don’t know what they are saying yes to, but I’m interested in what path they take now that they do know. www.schloss-elmau.de/kultur/sympo...
