This week’s newsletter covers violent rhetoric, turbulent priests, and the similarities between opportunity hoarding and motorsports regulation. Also some cats, a drug lord, and ghosts.
“Demon-Sperm COVID Conspiracy Summit” (AKA my recent media diet)
Here’s what I’ve been reading lately: nonfiction, a lovely sci-fi novella about tea and robots, some infuriating news, some very silly news, and some excellent newsletters. Also some puppies.
Disco Tempo Cliché Intro
Today’s newsletter is a few weeks late, but it comes up with some good news, some bad news, revisiting a seminal hip-hop album at 20, some Twitter jokes and a cockatoo.
Content Curation & Recommendations
Here are some good articles and stuff, about Lil Nas X, Jason Sudeikis, a dude in Canada who has foresworn money, a bartender in Maine with a hell of a backstory, and more. Also a dog with a funny nose.
Chronicle of a Death Foretold
This week’s newsletter explores the moral peril of being a sports fan with a close look at my personal favorite, motorcycle racing.

Quit Shopping at Amazon
Seriously, just stop giving extra money to Piss-bottle Jeff.
