Longform essays

There was one on there recently about Pence from rolling stone I believe that was a bit horrifying. Talk about failing upward.

Interesting story about Luis Barragan, a famous Mexican architect whose archives are kept in Switzerland and unaccessible to anybody. Conceptual artist Jill Magid turned his ashes into a diamond in an effort to have them returned to Mexico and opened to the public. The ensuing exhibit was recently opened in Mexico City.

Alt-Right and the "Dirtbag Left": http://www.macleans.ca/society/the-rise-of-the-internets-dirtbag-left/

Enter a new culture of the online left. It’s a reinvigorated wing that’s simultaneously anti-alt-right, anti-PC and anti-SJW, anti-centrist and against liberal-democratic line-toeing. It’s a movement that uses many of the tactics of the online alt-right—humour, memes, Twitter trolling and open animosity—while remaining committed to progressive leftist ideology. It’s sometimes called the “alt-left” or the “vulgar left,” or the “Dirtbag Left”—a term coined by Brooklyn based writer, podcaster, and activist Amber A’Lee Frost.

Pretty cool digital magazine that publishes some good content on humanities, social science, and general philosophy: https://aeon.co/ (some of the articles are less worthwhile)
