Against High Brodernism | Los Angeles Review of Books Federico Perelmuter considers László Krasznahorkai’s “Herscht 07769,” translated by Ottilie Mulzet.

Biden’s Final Humiliation | David Klion With the Gaza ceasefire, Trump accomplished in a week what the Biden administration refused to do for fifteen months.

Before you forget Joe Biden ever existed, take a moment to reckon with the full horrifying scope of his moral and political failure in Gaza. My latest, for @thebaffler.com

We Have a Ceasefire Deal, But This Isn't the End The widely-reported agreement must hold. We haven't begun to understand the full scope of the horrors Israel wrought. And Palestine is still not free.

The End of the Trial of Daniel Penny The jury is still out on Penny's guilt, but the verdict on Jordan Neely, as a threat to be eliminated, is in.

Top notch reporting at @hellgatenyc.com by @k80way.bsky.social. No whataboutism, just facts, common sense and empathy. I fear it’s all Jordan Neely is going to get.
