The most lurid, fucked up, and insane hot take won our bracket this year.

unsurprising if astonishingly mean-spirited to give incarcerated ppl eclipse glasses while refusing to let them go outside to see the eclipse

Last Wednesday, I went to the launch of “Praxis Magazine” (yes, from the company/aspiring crypto nation known for its young founders + far right politics)

Extremely weird event. I also read the magazine, and did not like it. For Hell Gate *subscribe today!*:
