Robert Wright's Nonzero (private feed for eveningglass@gmail.com)
Society & Culture:Philosophy
The joke Mickey told Jackie Mason. Do you want to live in Mark Zuckerberg’s universe? The scourge of tree sexism. The case for Woody Allen agnosticism. A new Syria conspiracy theory. How Fred Barnes lured Bob into knifing Jim Wright. Rick Hertzberg’s epic descriptions of politicians’ faces. The Wokyo Olympics. Mickey and Bob want to make it clear that Van Jones is the finest American they’ve ever known. Nominations for the NYT’s probably non-existent slot for a new conservative columnist. Mickey tries to turn Annie Lowrey’s column into criticism of her husband. Is Gawker revivable?—Freddie deBoer says no, Mickey says yes. Why isn’t Mickey Bruce Springsteen’s manager? The Asbury Park music critic who hated Springsteen loved Bob. Mickey’s egregious error of the week. The next Bob and Mickey viewing project: Muscle Shoals. Plus: Bijou Phillips and Joni Mitchell.
This dialogue is (in part, at least) a continuation of a publicly available dialogue taped earlier in the day.
