hell, i was going to give it my best shot, but this looks like a great issue. the only thing i'd add was maybe an article praising the guy who just shot a bunch of people at fort hood.

they must have just googled random leftist stuff on the internet. the front page looks like it has writers, i guess they must have mistaken this for a place that matters

i tried to look at the front page to verify this but i was reminded that i can't look at it because if your browser is set to request french language, the front page has a redirect loop, so i haven't seen it in months. vive le quebec libre

how about he gives half of us subscriptions, upfront, and we come to an agreement about who exacly will be critiquing what. my address is 1000 Colonial Farm Rd McLean, VA 22101 thanks

instead of a subscription it should be the money equivalent, in unmarked bills, left in a nondescript paper bag at a prearranged dropoff point somewhere in New York

i can independently confirm that 1) this is real and 2) it is specifically a rhizzone only offer, as the editor of the baffler is a rhizzone fan irl.

whoa, mustang edits the baffler?
#15
Post rating: +++++
rhizzone having fans makes me think that it is simply some sort of minimalist architecture, like a sparse pavilion covering an expanse of 'vague left horseshit', that people with too much time on their hands admire from the distance. To put it another way, Rhizzone content/brand ratio is pretty low, but its audience growth is a tapered explosive curve. the ROI data is simply amazing.

i just posted something way too long about the baffler. all of my posts deserve all upvotes in thanks for the love and respect that I pay to all posters. that said if I were sent a subscription to the baffler I would throw it in the trash, so please do not consider me a part of this contest, and make better posts than my dumb one about this pile of frivolous garbage for which you will be rewarded a subscription to said frivolous pile of garbage.

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.

love Pareene, the only thing I don't like about The Baffler is Tom Frank handing over the Harper's Easy Chair column to boring idiots like Maria Bustillos
