Ari Aster and Lena Dunham, both 39, are two of the most celebrated millennial directors. But based on their latest productions—“Eddington” and “Too Much”—only one is keeping up with the times. New episode of @againstthepod with @juliadyost patreon.com/posts/134594500
In light of the recent outbreak of anti-immigration protests in #Epping, you may find interesting my latest in @compactmag_ .
In the latest Blame Theory, I get @AshleyAFrawley to talk at length about one of her favorite topics: eugenics, why it won’t go away, and how that relates to the crisis of liberalism. substackfwd.xyz/?url=https://c…

Today for @compactmag_ I wrote about #MichaelClune's PAN. A novel of pagan intoxication, offering the most interesting thinking being done today about human meaning and the arts. compactmag.com/article/a-ques…
My new favorite podcast. Highly recommended!
