Yeah, Woke 1 Was Crazy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A few weeks ago, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was asked on ABC’s This Week about another Democratic candidate’s positions. The kinds of positions that looked at “Defund the Police” and “birthing people” and said, “Hold my beer” (or kombucha or what-have-you).She was ready for the question.

Live with Corey Nathan "My Hometown" (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Missed the Live? Here’s the replay, plus everything I read from.This week’s Substack Live was a first: instead of reading my Dispatch essay on the podcast the usual way, I brought it here and read it live, reacting to your comments as they came in.

Walls, Feeds, and a Side of Coleslaw (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Steven Wright had a bit about Smokey the Bear pointing back at himself. “Only YOU can prevent forest fires.” Me?That’s the face I made a couple Saturdays ago when a friend from high school posted something combative and the algorithm slid it to the top of my feed. No warning. Just a wall going up, with me on a side I never chose.The new essay is out in The Fulcrum, and it went looking for the people behind the posts. Jennifer, who used to let me have her coleslaw at the Manalapan Diner. Jill, fr
