New Yorker sandbox thread

read the one on the dudus coke raid on friday, p good stuff

She has a blog! I just found that out, it's like an Xmas present.

Packer's OWS is great but disillusioning, since it looks into the movement's anarchist roots (lol @ dum ignorant me). You also should check out his profile on the liberterian billionaire that is an intersting companion piece in a Government Is Broken diptych.

And FYI, the last December one I got is a double issue that has been keeping me warm, so you're not that far behind.

Dudus Coke article is depressing in that "Humanity is Doomed" sense.

Also, wtf there's apparently going to be another season of Portlandia: http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2012/01/02/120102fa_fact_talbot -- I mean, it's got Carrie Brownstein so I'm there but seriously.

yeah we talked briefly in the politics thread about the second packer article you mentioned, one of my absolute favorites of the year. the turn packer takes at the end is amazing, spot-on, and well-earned

Is that the real politix thread or the sandbox thread?

it's near the beginning of the original revive of the sandbox politics thread. i'd link but i'm on my phone

She has a blog! I just found that out, it's like an Xmas present.

yes, her blog is v funny, there are those tangents about the editorial wrangling that goes on for her harper's/nyer pieces. she posted to ilx a couple of times, a year or two ago.

i am sorta behind; the one with the dan clowes cover hasn't showed, & i wonder looking at the libertarian billionaire issue whether that one turned up, it doesn't look familiar. ty for the recommendation, i might start tonight.

why is this thread impossible to search for?

anyway, does anybody read this on the iphone? i cna't figure out how to set it up

How does the NYT Magazine come out with a profile of Carrie Brownstein a WEEK after a profile in the New Yorker? Doesn't someone lose their job over something like that?

yah that confused me
