Paul Krugman is cool and good He is pretty much the exception to their op-ed staff tho let me get a little more mileage out of this David Brooks demonstrates hilarious stupidity our esteem-able raconteur SHY NUDIST GRRL pointed out that most of the article was like those commenters on youtube who post "women/blacks already have enough"

Krugman became a boring stenographer for the Democrats this primary season and he is now Bad When you read his (good) occasional essays in the New York Review of Books you realize how insultingly simple and retarded his times column is Also he dedicated space to writing about online Bernie Bros last year which...come on

back in the day, krugman called out the stimulus package for being half tax cuts and half direct stimulus, that it should have been bigger, and there should be another stimulus in the future. i agree with all of those points. he's a keynesian economist which still operates within the capitalist mindset, but political attitudes have shifted so far to the right that reading those views felt novel even back then, though, krugman would write the occasional column backing standard DNC conventional wisdom. i haven't bothered with the op-ed page in years, but if he's ramped up those columns recently, then i can deal with lumping him in with the rest of them

He was excellent during the 2008 primaries. His assessments of the relative merits of the Edwards, Clinton, and Obama healthcare plans were crucial. He esteemed the Edwards plan the highest - not coincidentally, Edwards also had the most straightforwardly left healthcare project. Krugman's review of Picketty's Capital for the NYRB is very much worth the read. It reveals how rigorous and keen an analyst he can be when he wants to be, when he's writing for an audience he respects, and concomitantly exposes the cynicism of his lovely DNC press releases in the Times. I gave up on him after the "Bernie Bros" article.

Yeah as an elite he followed the DNC, but then again anybody who understood who Trump is had a strong motive to believe Hillary Goddamn Clinton was gonna save the day also lol at "he criticized berniebros TF is bad", I mean what did he call the berniebros partisans or something But unlike other columnists he's a legit expert in his field who can actually share insight into things

the "Berniebro" meme will encapsulate fully the historical record of sanders' vie for leadership, and form a large part of clinton's hagiography. generations from now, children will be taught how the Bernard Brotherhood prevented America from having the first woman president that is my prediction, all hail the great orb

"I had to stop my friend, through a series of grunts and firm-but-not-intimidating eye contact, from using a book as a napkin after she ate her half of the burrito. She put the rest in her purse and said her baby could eat it, so long as she sprinkled some goldfish crackers and chocolate milk on it."

In snob literary circles, telling your friends that you're going to take on infinite jest is like climbing Everest: you have to set aside a chunk of your life to do it, it's miserable though not particularly hard vs. other more respectable challenges, and a lot of your friends are secretly hoping you'll die in the process.

When i was doing my MA in English lit, there was a fellow student who was working on a PhD about David foster Wallace and he was super weird and totally obsessed by him. Thanks for reading and God bless.
