You gotta get this Tesla Cybertruck, bro. It’s great. Am I a paid spokesperson? Sort of. I’m a person who paid $8 a month to “spokes” for them.
This thing is awesome, bro.
You ever been driving down the road when a crazed band of gangbangers rolled through your suburban neighborhood and blasted up the side of your truck with Uzis and Gatling guns for no reason? No, but you could easily imagine a scenario where that happens, right? Well, if your imagination became a reality, you’d need the only truck on the market that keeps pointing out it’s bulletproof for some reason.
Does your neighborhood have a billionaire who throws rocks at your truck window? No? Good, Cybertruck can’t handle that.
Back in 2016 I wrote a piece called “Seven Rules For Running a Real Left Wing Government.” It proved to be one of my most popular pieces, particularly loved by activists. Since then I’ve often been asked for an more and I’ve finally written a partial update and companion piece.
The Sixth Rule was “Reduce Your Vulnerability to the World Trade System.”
This rule is still true, but how it is applied has changed — you can use a relationship with China to, over time, reduce your dependence on the old system which required you to stay poor and dependent..
When I was in my early twenties, I seriously considered murdering someone. He had given my best friend genital herpes, which many health practitioners then believed was the agent responsible for causing cervical cancer in women. (It wasn’t.) Back in the 1970s, though, I believed that, by infecting my friend, he might have set in motion a process that would someday kill her. That he was an arrogant jerk made it that much easier for me to contemplate murdering him. But there was a larger context to my private dream of revenge. My anger was also fed by a growing awareness that so many of us were just then acquiring of the history of systematic patriarchal threats to, and constraints... Read more

Designers can either become drivers of business within their organizations, or they can create the businesses they want to drive. We’re entering an era of design entrepreneurship, in which some designers are realizing that they’re not just a designer employed by a business; they’re creative business people whose skill set is design. —The State of […]

Polar Vest
This down-filled vest is super soft and is guaranteed to keep kids warm and toasty. Your tween will flat-out refuse to wear it for no apparent reason other than “I just don’t like it,” even though it comes in what used to be her favorite color but apparently isn’t anymore.
Mountain Fleece Pants
These fleece-lined pants will keep the chill away on cold days. Unfortunately, your tween boy will opt for shorts even when it’s thirty degrees with a “real feel” temperature of twenty-four degrees.
Cozy Scarf
You might as well take your money and set it on fire because scarves are “cringe.”
Guns N’ Roses T-shirt
Your tween will wear this T-shirt but will not discuss Appetite for Destruction with you and will not entertain the idea that people who wear band shirts without listening to the actual bands are “posers.”
For the first time ever, McSweeney’s Internet Tendency’s longtime columnist Rowdy Geirsson has translated his extensive archival research of anonymously recorded, authentic Norse lore into English. This new scholarly edition of The Impudent Edda comes with extensive footnotes and photos and offers readers a highly accessible yet deeply poetic rendition of fun and classic tales ranging from Odin’s unprovoked murder of an ancient witch, to Freyja’s voluntary experiment as a prostitute among lecherous dwarves, to Thor’s drunken and petty act of larceny on the eve of Ragnarök, the final world-shattering battle of the gods.

The Tory government has done its best to undo almost every improvement to workers’ pay and conditions over the past 13 years, so it’s not often that we get to talk about organising as anything other than a defensive measure. But let’s change that. Let’s talk about organising for a four-day week. Recent progress towards […]
