A struggling journo losing business in an increasingly atomized digital world gets a mysterious invite to a method that will get him more clicks, more views, more subscribers...but at what cost? Coming soon to a theater near you: The Substack

Honestly one of the most important aspects of making art is to be curious about a wide range of things. Araki understands this, as does Miyazaki

The vast majority of Atlantic contributors and columnists ought to be charged, tried, convicted, and executed for reactionary incitement
