Rally for Hallie
Cotton’s absence on the campaign trail has been a ready target for Shoffner’s jabs. Compared to the tall, glowering Cotton, she’s approachable, more concerned about bread-and-butter issues than about containing Beijing.

Send Some of These Guys Packing
Jackson is what Platner claimed to be: an imperfect, working-class guy who’s learned—and is still learning—from his mistakes.

How We Can Build a World for All
Today—amid the second Trump Administration’s lethal military aggression and reckless defunding of international aid—it’s harder than ever to imagine what a just American foreign policy would look like. In A World for All: New Visions of US Foreign Policy (out in November from OR…

Playing Roulette in the Archives
When Ginzburg first started his research into the witch trials, his hypothesis was that they could be seen as “a crude form of class struggle.” He swiftly found good evidence for his theory—and was disappointed. There must be something wrong, he thought, with a hypothesis that…

Blue Power in New York
Colin Vanderburg: To begin, how generalizable are New York’s politics of policing and criminal justice? I think there’s an idea that the NYPD, as the country’s largest police department in the country’s largest city, is somehow archetypal of American policing generally; but…

Trump’s Microphones
Trump is alone, photographed from below (presumably by a crouching photographer, though I never see one on the ground) so as to appear more monumental. More often than not, his arms are half-raised at his sides and his palms are up, like he’s fending off the press, rhetorically,…

Death of the Mind in Sarasota
The story of New College of Florida “merits attention . . . if only to record the perseverance of those who, for more than three decades, struggled to overcome numerous and daunting difficulties to help keep the institution alive.” So wrote Furman C. Arthur, the school’s first…

EV Listening
The Honda Prologue has a hovering, suffusing melody, with a low rhythmic pulse and a subtle, epiphanic wash. It sounds like a computer game lifting you into heaven, or the arrival of benevolent extraterrestrial colonists. The Porsche Taycan makes a more sinister and comic,…

Last Week in End Times Cinema
After a series of massive concessions by everyone from state attorneys general to the WGA to the great mass of the American people, the Paramount Skydance–Warner Brothers Discovery merger looks to be complete. Eyebrowless scion David Ellison will now be in charge of one of the…

Away Game
“I have a Mexican jersey too” Abdoulaye said. “I put it on if my client has a Latino name. Or Colombia. This one,” he said, gesturing to his USMNT jersey, “I wear this one for Americans. It helps with tips.”

The Freedom of the Weasel
Her great themes were timeless, the stuff of the ancients’ ancients: perception, eternity, travel, the problem of evil. She repudiated Aristotle, denied the primordial split between myth and natural philosophy: Anything could, and would, be likened to everything, in the service…

The Municipal Sublime
In a city that treats its architectural highlights—and even some of its mediocrities!—with an ardor that verges on the obsessive, plenty of buildings nonetheless manage to escape collective reverence. A disproportionate number of these buildings happen to belong to the public:…

Last Year in End Times Cinema
It’s been nearly a year since n+1 film critic A. S. Hamrah’s book Last Week in End Times Cinema—a study of bad news in the movie industry over the course of 365 days—was published. What’s happened in end times cinema since then? On Thursday, October 1, join us as we investigate.…

The Hi-Neighbor! Mayor
When I first met David Morales it was December 2019, and I was standing in David’s ill-lit bachelor apartment as he announced to a small holiday party full of socialists that he intended to run for state representative. I was skeptical. David was young—only 21 at the time—just…

Laura Kolbe and Patricia Lockwood in conversation
On Saturday, October 10, join us at the n+1 office in Brooklyn for a celebration of two new works of poetry: Laura Kolbe’s The Decadent Movement (out in September from University of Pittsburgh Press) and Patricia Lockwood’s Agate Head/Stone Soup (out in October from Penguin…

The Billboards of Silicon Valley
YOUR AI AGENT NEEDS A WORKFLOW ENGINE. The billboard stands by a nondescript stretch of highway somewhere between Redwood City and Mountain View. A boom, likely a bubble, made manifest. A cry of triumphant return. And probably one day, a monument to a bubble bursting. All hype…

Social and Anti-Social Housing
We have public housing, but it has never been as well designed, built, or maintained. We have limited-equity co-ops built by limited-dividend companies, but we built far fewer of them, and we allowed some to go private. We have inclusionary zoning, but whereas their model…

Ciphers Poufed Out
Hi! Where have I been? Last time we heard from me, Miss Translation, I was on a rocket blasting out of Iowa. I hosted two events, one in New York and one in Chicago. Was I forced into hiding because of how well they went? No, although I could have been. Did I write a […]

Zooming in on Wiseman
This is a different mode of watching film; the eye and ear must remain in a constant state of hypervigilance to confirm whether one can spy a coffee cup in the back of a frame, or if someone says “gonna be” instead of “going to be.”
