This Week's Writing 8/10/24

Roots, elections, Sixth Sense, and more!

I’m at my parents this weekend, so Oliver is making a special guest cat appearance (along with my mom’s hand.)

Despite being away, I published a bunch of things this week. As always, if you like my scribbling, consider becoming a paid subscriber. The takes, they do not write themselves.

If you read one thing by me this week, read:

Against roots. (EIH)

Politics

Choosing Walz is a choice for Biden’s legacy. (Public Notice)

J.D. Vance hates poor people. (EIH)

Why Trump feels bad for Biden. (EIH)

Cultural Criticism

The Sixth Sense is a glib tribute to the power of film. (Splice Today)

Thra slathers their death metal with sludge. (Chicago Reader)

The 25 best albums of the 2020s. (EIH)

Poetry

Little sound poem. (dadakuku)
