discipline posted:Like, the caliber of work here is kinda bad, even articles posted to the front page seem sometimes like a proud mom putting her kid's art on the fridge (many of them are mine full disclosure). We all have the capacity to produce work that exceeds the Baffler or anywhere else in quality but we hate ourselves, which is how you know we're sincere about our politics. Joey saw the promise and build us this wonderworld. That's why daddy left us forever.
i would take a funny pissy post, or a psychotic fever-dream post, or even half of the catchphrase bullshit that pops up over the bulk of the baffler's output.
