We have a new online issue up today! Inspired by Supreme Court Justice Alito's question about whether Pornhub includes highbrow literary content, like Gore Vidal, we felt it our duty to fill that void. Lots of great, surprising, weird work in here

Go Short!
Dania Rajendra asks why it took a hundred years for football to take up the passing game, an inertia mirrored in that other neoliberal war game: Democratic politics.
