Here are links to my latest work, Daily Posts from the archives (July 14-18) in case you missed them, and articles, old and new, from around the internet. My aim is not to give you up to the minute news, but a historical understanding of our current times—too many people see everything going on as uniquely special to the current moment. You can follow me on Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Facebook (I am not accepting new friends on the last platform, but you can use the “follow” option).
Hello, hello!
If you like this, please support my work.
Last week, I wrote that I would not be able to work on providing a newsletter with links from the web, and that I might have to cut down on new work for a month or so. My hope was that this would free up my time to get a couple of very large projects done over the summer.
I’m delighted to report that I was able to get a key phase of one of those done and am now on to the next one! So, yay, summer break, and we all need these!
Below are links to works from the archive, and one new essay. I may have some shorter essays next week, but for now I’m focusing on resting up a bit and moving on to the next Big Work. The world is moving faster every day, it seems, so I hope everyone is able to gain some respite from it all.
NEW WORK!

FROM THE ARCHIVE!
“Everyone Needs a Course on Taylor Swift.”
“What Is the Point of Politics without Ideology?”
“Read Stuart Hall.” (Really, I’m begging you: read him!)
Here’s Taylor Swift’s “Anti-Hero” (“Midnights become my afternoons.”)
Take care of yourself, because no one else will do it for you. I will see you next week.
