Capitalism is a rational system 😑😑😑😑😑
I'm in an airport so naturally I'm reading about the downfall of WeWork still nymag.com/intelligencer/…
also considering the options for parody tote bags of those godawful ubiquitous "do what you love" wework bags, it's early though so accepting suggestions.
"The market is going to have to decide how thin the lines are between vision, bullshit, and fraud." LOOOOOOOL nymag.com/intelligencer/…
"'I speak from some experience as a CEO in the ’90s in the internet days: If you tell a 30-year-old male he’s Jesus Christ, he’s inclined to believe you.'" these people in this airport are wondering why I'm laughing so hard
I swear i'm almost done but:
Each time I get on a plane I have a brief flash of wondering whether my last tweet will be my last EVER but really this is how I want to be remembered: laughing at capitalists while texting sappy things to my friends
This guy next to me on the plane is reading David Cameron's memoir and the photo on the cover is going to give me nightmares
Life lessons from my morning: life is short, capitalists lie, tell your friends you love them, never trust an Eton boy

I am awake (barely) in an auditorium but @_RajPatel is talking about the New Deal and agriculture and colonialism and you can watch it here: vimeo.com/359778899?mc_c…
@_RajPatel OK he's also talking about the Great Cowboy Strike of 1883 and how they valued reproductive labor and I am fully awake and here for this
@_RajPatel "These strikes made the New Deal possible...it's important to see the New Deal as part of a war of position...the building of a counterhegemonic bloc." - @_RajPatel

I am so tired of the amount of space given to the *feelings* of literally the most powerful people in the world thehill.com/homenews/senat…
like, Bret Stephens has a sad and the Internet erupts. Susan Collins has a sad and articles get written. their feelings > the actual harm they do in the world. people were supposed to have a sad for Theresa May when she cried as she stepped down.
being sad is part of life! everyone has sad days! what is not part of most people's lives is literally being able to sign off or not on policies that decide *who lives or dies*!

This is exhausting for me: I am endlessly tired of having to argue that criticism of Israel and the way it wields power is not antisemitic.
I cannot imagine how much more exhausting it is for @IlhanMN and @RashidaTlaib whose very existence as Muslim women of color is read by so many as already dangerous to Israel.
@IlhanMN @RashidaTlaib Anyway, was literally considering *last night* how antisemitic logics are now used against other populations now figured as *dangerous*, this piece is great: salvage.zone/in-print/jewop…

You haven’t even begun to see the anger that will be unleashed on Adam Neumann. He has 15,000 people right now who are stuck cleaning up. They feel like circus clowns shovelling the shit. He has taken $750M & left a toxic waste cleanup.

interview @nymag
nymag.com/intelligencer/…
Adam Neumann came in, smoked his own supply, and walked out with three-quarters of a billion dollars about the time that people in hazmat suits showed up.
SoftBank is the only firm in the world that will put money into this thing right now. They either have to go back to their limiteds and say, “We’re probably putting good money after bad,” and create an argument for why there’s still value there, or they have to go bankrupt.

A thread: A bit over a year ago, I joined @nymag, fresh off 6+ months of reporting on sexual harassment and assault at @washingtonpost (Read it here washingtonpost.com/investigations… washingtonpost.com/charlie-roses-…:). I’m still thinking through what it means to report stories of sexual violence.
@NYMag @washingtonpost For years, my friend (and now colleague!) @rtraister and I have been talking through the costs to people who put themselves on the line. She proposed and recruited me for this cover package that makes some of those conversations public: thecut.com/2019/09/the-to…
@NYMag @washingtonpost @rtraister .@rtraister: "The risks of speaking up in many ways replicate the risks of harassment itself: the pressures, the humiliations, the possibility of having one’s professional record obscured by smears.” Journalism, even well intentioned, can do that too. thecut.com/2019/09/the-to…

From my research I am finding the Jeffrey Epstein case leads to a child sex trafficking ring run between the U.S., UK, Israel, & Saudi Arabia.

nymag.com/intelligencer/… What I can’t get past with Boghossian and his jackass crew is this: They have an obsessive hatred of academic fields that a) don’t involve them b) never did anything to hurt them and c) they could simply ignore if they wanted to. And yet….
Boghossian is so filled with spite and hate for departments that have nothing to do with him that he and his buddies concocted a spiteful hoax meant only to humiliate people that, I cannot reiterate enough, did nothing to him. Despite all this….
Boghossian has the nerve to accuse anyone else of “grievance studies”. Let’s be clear: Someone in this situation has a ridiculous grievance they shouldn’t have that they are wasting their life away on. It’s Boghossian.

nymag.com/intelligencer/… I don’t know why there’s still so much unwillingness to even accept the possibility that Trump is simply working for Putin.

On the contrary, I’d say it’s the only explanation that really makes sense.
Again, as @maddow pointed out last night, Trump has a long habit of parroting downright obscure talking points that come straight from Putin, often referencing countries he probably didn’t even know existed.
And, as Chait himself notes, this comes right as Russia is about to declare they were always right to invade Afghanistan.

And Trump has already been caught trying to backchannel with Putin:
