Back soon, barring apocalypse...
(Exit, pursued by bear)
I’m about to go on a much-needed vacation and scrambling to get things in order, so just a quick recap of what we published at the magazine this week:
Kay Craig on an attempt to write fiction with AI
Robert Bellafiore on NatalCon and whether natalism can stop being weird
Norman Matloff on the downside of the influx of foreign PhD students
Dan McCarthy on the anti-war right’s growing doubts about Trump
Adina Glickstein on the collapse of Urbit, Curtis Yarvin’s tech project
Holly Buck on why “development” is out and “abundance” is in
Robert Dodaro on St. Augustine’s politics
It’s been a blast writing this Substack since I picked it up last year, and I’m grateful to you all for reading. I’ll pick it up again when I get back assuming the world hasn’t ended in the meantime (not an entirely sure bet, alas…).
