Dimitri and Khalid commence their long-planned dive into America's most frustratingly enigmatic boomer icon, Bob Dylan. Topics include: The calculated ambiguity of Dylan's public, political, and artistic personae over the decades, getting discovered by Vanderbilt heir/Columbia Records starmaker John Hammond, Dylan's slightly Discordian memoir “Chronicles Vol. 1”, the fabricated composite character “Ray Gooch” and his sister/cousin/wife “Chloe Kiel” who thinks Dracula rules the world, astroturfed Dimes Square vibes in Greenwich Village, Bob's career-long obsession with the Devil, his curious admiration for Barry Goldwater in 1964, and more. Part one of two. For access to premium SJ episodes, upcoming installments of DEMON FORCES, and the Grotto of Truth Discord, become a subscriber at patreon.com/subliminaljihad.

Peter Soeller, a J20 defendant, emerged from that protest as the thought leader in the Brooklyn Antifa resistance of the first Trump era. He went on to publish the first popular anti-Dimes Square manifesto called 'StrasserGate' in which he accused Dime Square participants of being part of a Red Brown political coalition. Kinda sounds like Curtis Yarvin, right?Check out the full ep on WVFP POD NYC

On this episode of "Unsupervised Learning," Razib talks to Rachel Haywire, who writes at Cultural Futurist. Haywire is the author of Acidexia and began her career in futurism as an event planner for the Singularity Institute. She got her start as part of the "right-brain" faction around the Bay Area transhumanist and futurist scene circa 2010. Currently, she is working on starting an art gallery in New York City that serves as an event space for avant-garde creators who are not encumbered by mainstream or "woke" cultural sensibilities. Haywire recounts her experience as a creator in the early 2010s in the Bay Area and the transition from a socially libertarian milieu where diverse groups mixed freely to one more defined by a progressive cultural script, with the threat of cancel culture beginning to be noticeable. She points to the 2013 cancellation of Pax Dickinson for edgy tweets as a turning point. Razib and Haywire also allude to the role that the reclusive accelerationist philosopher  Nick Land played in seeding certain ideas and influencing movements like the  Dark Enlightenment. Jumping to the present, Haywire now lives in New York City, and she addresses the Dimes Square scene centered around the neighborhood in Manhattan's Lower East Side. Haywire points out that the actual artistic production from Dimes Square luminaries is quite low, with an almost total lack of music and a focus on online personas. Her goal with her salons and soon-to-open gallery is to put the emphasis on art above politics or e-celebrity culture. Finally, Razib discusses the impact of AI on creativity and whether it will abolish the artist. Haywire believes that AI is just another tool and has had mixed success leveraging it for her own artistic works in areas like industrial music. She believes that the real use of AI will be to create drafts and prototypes that artists will have to polish and reshape so that they reflect human creativity rather than just some averaged algorithm.

I have a poor eye for specific sociological detail but a good brain for psychology and the things that drive people to block and hurt others. —Matthew GasdaMy guest on this episode of the podcast is poet, novelist, essayist and playwright Matthew Gasda, with playwright being the most salient of those descriptors. His play Denmark just finished up a short run at the Brooklyn Center for Theatre Research, which Gasda founded and runs, and he is best known for his play Dimes Square, which helped fix the notorious New York downtown microneighborhood in the public imagination.In 2022, The New York Times published a very substantive profile of Gasda, tracking his emergence into hipster prominence during Covid:In the spring of 2021, he fell into a downtown social scene that was forming on the eastern edge of Chinatown, by the juncture of Canal and Division Streets. What he witnessed inspired his next work, “Dimes Square.”“Dimes Square became the anti-Covid hot spot, and so I went there because that's where things were happening,” Mr. Gasda said.Named after Dimes, a restaurant on Canal Street, the micro scene was filled with skaters, artists, models, writers and telegenic 20-somethings who didn't appear to have jobs at all. A hyperlocal print newspaper called The Drunken Canal gave voice to what was going on.Mr. Gasda, who had grown up in Bethlehem, Pa., with the dream of making it in New York, threw himself into the moment, assuming his role as the scene's turtlenecked playwright. And as he worked as a tutor to support himself by day, and immersed himself in Dimes Square at night, he began envisioning a play.Set in a Chinatown loft, “Dimes Square” chronicles the petty backstabbing among a group of egotistic artists and media industry types. It's filled with references to local haunts like the bar Clandestino and the Metrograph theater, and its characters include an arrogant writer who drinks Fernet — Mr. Gasda's spirit of choice — and a washed up novelist who snorts cocaine with people half his age.Matt and I talk about a great number of things over the course of this quite long and I think quite rich conversation, which we recorded in two separate sessions. He helps me come asymptotically closer to understanding what the Dimes Square scene is or was (I'm pretty sure it's was at this point).We talk about his very middle-class youth in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and the difficulties of making the transition from that world, and the world of his middle-class degrees from Syracuse and Lehigh, to the very specialized set of manners and expectations that structure life and society in New York City.We talk about the general challenges of making it in as playwright (and by extension as screenwriter or tv writer), as well as the specific challenges of making it when you've been classified as politically suspect, as Matt has.We end, more or less, with my expressing my hope that Matt can continue to protect and nurture his talent and his desire to connect even as, of necessity, he has to live and work in various scences in New York that can be quite toxic.   AI-generated show notes. They seem mostly accurate.00:00 Introduction to Eminent Americans00:32 Meet Matthew Gazda: Playwright Extraordinaire01:10 The Dime Square Phenomenon02:29 Exploring Denmark and Other Plays03:37 Defining Dime Square05:26 The Scene and Its Key Figures08:07 The Evolution of Dime Square21:03 The Genesis of the Play27:43 Matthew Gazda's Background39:36 Navigating Social Classes and Upbringings40:58 The Art of Performativity and Banter42:55 Algorithmic Conversations and AI's Impact44:04 Flirting and Social Dynamics46:14 Authenticity vs. Performativity in Plays48:26 Cynicism and Artistic Integrity57:13 Challenges of a Playwright's Career01:00:40 Exploring Dimes Square and Its Impact01:19:22 The HBO Deal and Dimes Square01:19:49 Canceled Party and Industry Politics01:21:24 Theater World Challenges01:25:08 Class and Credentials in the Arts01:28:52 Navigating Bitterness and Cynicism01:33:28 The Reality of Artistic Success01:44:00 Final Thoughts and Future PlansSome of the questions I prepared in advance, many but not all of which I ended up asking:In the most concrete, least abstract terms possible: What was Dimes Square and who were the major players within it? And should I be talking about it in the past tense?  Tell me about Bethlehem? You seem like a hustler from the provinces, much much more driven than the people around you. True? One of the tensions in your plays, at least in the ones I've read, is between what I guess I'd just call earnestness, or authenticity, and the alternatives to that—on the one hand a kind of ironic performativity, which is what constitutes much of Dimes Square, and then on the other hand just a zoned out deflection of emotion, which is what you get so much of in your play Zoomers. Does that sound right to you? You just wrote this piece, "Credentialist Cretins," that is just immensely cynical about the people around you. But then you seem like a fairly earnest person, interested in connecting. And you've been pretty protective of your friends in the scene, people who a lot of others would like to see as ironic performative too cool for school types. Square that circle for me. My brother always says that theater will be the last refuge of wokeness, that it will be land acknowledgements until we all sink into the sea. Is that right? How do you fit into the scene? Are you endangering your career prospects either through the plays, and their use of certain language and expression of certain ideas, or through your political writing? Are you cutting yourself off from the money flows? What the hell is going on with Zoomers? I found it an interesting read, but I wasn't sure what you were doing? Am I too old? Would it have been more apparent if I saw the play in person?Excerpts from Matt's essay “Downtown Demons,” about the development and meaning of the Dimes Square scene:The creation of scenes was aided and accelerated by temporarily cheaper rents and inflated tech wages (and crypto fortunes). Large apartments and lofts were secured, sometimes in two-year leases. A new, politically ambiguous patron class appeared at the same time that subscriber-supported writers and podcasters were challenging mainstream news and opinion. You could listen to a podcast or read a Substack, and meet the podcaster or writer the same night at a party or a bar (though these shuttered in the early evening, for those who remember, on the totally scientific theory that the virus hunts at night); shifts in perspective were happening in real time.Old political boundaries were temporarily porous and fluid and ideological lines could be crossed and retraced again. At a given party, you might meet—to name a few examples at random—a liberal New York Times columnist, a Big Five novelist with a forthcoming debut (typically less daring than her conversation), a dirtbag podcaster, a powerful editor, an out-of-work actor, a fashion model, a filmmaker, an influencer, a Thiel Fellowship winner, a grad student on a stipend, a union organizer, a Bitcoin multimillionaire; the melange was the message.In effect, the pandemic downtown moment was, from the very beginning, infected with spirit of the very-online, which, while latent for a long time, never went away; there was a tension between those who really truly wanted to leave the internet behind, and those who instinctively wanted to integrate the online into the fabric of nightlife—and the latter won out.The mimetic violence of downtown discourse—the denunciations, the trollings, the doxxings, the terroristic threats—that is manifest in the way people talk to, and more often, about one another, presages real political conflict in the future.

Matthew Sitman and Sohrab Ahmari discuss friendship across political divides. Both men have made their careers in political media and have made significant changes in their politics over the course of their lives – in Sohrab's case, very publicly. These changes have affected some friendships and have left others intact. Sohrab and Matt and Susannah discuss the phenomenon of friendship that transcends politics, how difficult that can be, how painful when it doesn't work, but how good when it does. They also discuss the social peculiarities of Left and Right, and challenge Jonathan Haidt's moral foundationalism. They reflect on what Christianity must say to enmity and friendship, and end with an excursus on Dimes Square.

On this edition of Parallax Views, playwright Matthew Gasda joins the show to discuss his Compact Magazine piece "Downtown Demons" about micro-celebrities and micro-cultures in New York went from rebellious parties during the pandemic to feeding political nihilism in the guise of far-right politics. Matthew is the author of the play "Dimes Square" and discusses the scene culture of Manhattan during the pandemic in this regard. Those with and interest in the culture and trollish politics that have emerged out of Manhattan in the past few years through podcasts, events, and Peter Thiel money, may want to give this a listen. Matthew argues that the trollish politics of the scene culture can evolve into something much more dangerous and bleak in the course of conversation and we also manage to tie-in the pro wrestling idea of "kayfabe" into our discussion of meme culture, micro-celebrity podcasters, and the like.

This season on VISIONS will explore the content of VISIONS: Volume IV by Future Commerce. VISIONS is an audio-visual Annual Trends report that examines the changes in culture and commerce and their impacts on the technology industry that serves them. VISIONS: Volume IV took place over three months, from April to June 2023, bookended by two events.Today we go live to the first of those events at the Celeste Bartos Theater at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, where we'll speak with a panel of modern culture reporters, foresight analysts, and media creators and ask them the question, “Where is the counterculture?”Trends are Change{00:04:11} “What we have right now is a lot of interesting niche subcommunities with their own cultures and then countercultures to those. And I think the result of that is it's very hard to know what's trending because trends really exist within these sort of niche subcultures and microspheres. And then by the time they exit, they're no longer a trend, they're more like a trend discourse.” - Daisy Alioto{00:06:47} “You can't really talk about counterculture without talking about the capitalization of it all. You can capitalize on these weird trends, whether it's something like Dimes Square, and then you see a year later, the entire Marc Jacobs campaign for a massive fashion brand is these characters. So is that really counterculture if that's cool now?” - Emily Sundberg{00:09:00} “Sometimes I do get bummed about the lack of existence of new things, and that's why we're going so hard on fashion history because everything feels really referential. But also there's something fun about new combinations and seeing a couch where there's a guy from the White Lotus on it, but there's also a girl that you saw at a party last week.” - Alexi Alario{00:11:26} “Is there counterculture or subculture or monoculture? It's completely dependent upon the sample size in which we're looking at. And for the most part, I think it behooves us to really broaden our aperture of really understanding what's most important to the most amount of people, because if we have to select too small of a sample size, we're just speaking to ourselves and really ignoring the masses.” - Matt Klein{00:16:14} “When we're talking about nostalgia and memory as some of the strongest mechanisms for marketing and the relationship that nostalgia and memory have to certain mediums, like the type of film or camera you were using when you first encountered something or the type of car you were driving when you first encountered something, it's very hard to package that in an authentic way, but if you can, that becomes the brand moat. And that's the thing that allows you to excel past all of your competitors.” - Daisy Alioto{00:24:02} “The thing about de-influencing is, yes, there's a little bit of stoicism of screw it, don't buy this thing, but it's still a form of influencing.” - Matt Klein{00:28:42} “Daisy Alioto: it's also important to remember that, for every counterculture movement, the response to it will be part of the cycle of the next culture, even if it's happening in this very fragmented way now.” - Daisy Alioto{00:35:34} “Nothing gets better without criticism. So I feel like it's okay that everyone is a critic as long as I think it creates a heightened awareness. And especially with algorithms. If you're not a critic, you're just going to let them like run over you.” - Alexi AlarioGuestsDaisy Alioto, CEO and Co-Founder of DirtEmily Sundberg, Writer, Creative Strategist, and Publisher at Feed Me SubstackAlexi Alario, Co-Host of the Nymphet Alumni PodcastMatt Klein, Cultural Theorist and Publisher of ZineHave any questions or comments about the show?

Scarr was kind enough to host us in the new shop at 35 Orchard Street to talk whether or not he's got the best slice in NYC, what other slices he's messing with, should you call it cheese or plain, whether or not pineapple on pizza is a crime, the Japanese perfecting the art of pizza just like everything else, the longest he's ever gone between slices, new menu additions, sushi plans for his old place, the Dave Portnoy effect or lack thereof, never reading Yelp reviews, eliminating lines, still being underrated despite just being named the 72nd best restaurant in the city by The New York Times, pioneering the natty wine and pizza game, dealing with biters, his drink of the summer candidate, seeing his Nike collab go crazy at auction, collabs vs. food merch, the gentrification of streetwear, not claiming Dimes Square, hypothetical mayoral decrees and Knicks offseason moves, people finding love in his restaurant, pizza red flags, copping his dream whip, Fat Joe pulling a gun on you and much more on this deadass delicious episode of The Only Podcast That Matters™.

Artist Sven Loven joins Adam in his living room where they consume edibles and discuss Sven's new show, 'Humiliation Ritual', at No Gallery in New York. For the exhibition, Sven turned to portraiture and creates a time capsule, or perhaps a capsule of a moment in which time has lost meaning, of the Dimes Square meme. Subjects include: Black Dean Kissick, Art Basel Miami stabber Siyuan Zhao, Reena Spaulings Gallery and Dimes Square spiritual mother Emily Sundblad, Peter Thiel as angel, and more. Exhibition texts are written by previous guest Dana Dawud and Sierra Armor. Sven and I discuss the surrealism of digital life, Dimes Square as simulacra of art scene, new age ketamine therapy, transgenderist ideology, reality television, and more.

Today on the show, we welcome in James Harris, one half of Throwing Fits, a very funny podcast and online community dedicated to all things menswear. We wanted to invite James in not just to talk about chef fashion but also to find out about where he's eating and drinking around his hometown of New York City. We also get into Fanelli vs. Lucien, not being able to get into Gem Wine thanks to TikTok, eating fried prawn heads, Japanese food at home vs. in restaurants, and eating the miso black cod at Nobu as a kid. We also get the Throwing Fits line on Dimes Square. This is a great episode with James, a real one-of-one guest.MORE FROM JAMES HARRIS:Throwing Fits for Men's Fashion [NYT]From Nike to Nautica, Here Are the '90s Brands that Defined the Decade [Complex]TASTE Podcast 48: James Murphy & Nick Curtola [TASTE]TASTE Podcast 131: Alex Delany [TASTE]

We are joined by literary critic and actor Christian Lorentzen to discuss the legacy and thought of Christopher Lasch. In this wide-ranging conversation, Lorentzen and host Daniel Tutt discuss Lasch's socialist politics, why he's so often misunderstood by the contemporary left and how he read literature. We assess the reasons why Lasch remains so popular and we touch on the politics of American novelists, the new Dimes Square scene in Manhattan, for which Christian is a central figure and personality, and we touch on the generational politics that seem to return and return ever since Lasch diagnosed them in the 1970s. You can subscribe to Christian's Substack to read his prolific book review essays and other writings: https://christianlorentzen.substack.com

Hannah and Maia discuss the post-woke, irony-poisoned community of Manhattan's lower east side - also known as Dimes Square. These podcasters (Red Scare, Chapo Trap House, Cum Town, and Wet Brain), filmmakers, literary ingenues, and bloggers have come together to be as provocative as possible. But is irony-poisoning just a long, slow descent into nihilism? And is nihilism just a lazy river into the bleak world of the alt-right? Listen to find out! **Correction**: The charges against Kyle Rittenhouse of curfew violation and unlawful possession of a firearm were *dismissed by the judge prior to jury deliberation.

FULL 2+ HOUR EXTENDED VERSION OF THIS EPISODE NOW ON PATREON WHERE WE DIVE INTO HIS CRITICISM OF BETSEY BROWN'S ACTORS AND MORE AKA THE BETTER SECTION OF THIS INTERVIEW This week, Ana and Matthew s**** w*** and hash out some more Dimes Square related drama and happenings with the infamous gonzo journalist at the center of the scene, featured recently in Air Mail, M Crumps (aka Michael Crumplar). He gained simultaneous infamy and respect from different sources with his piece called My Own Dimes Square Fascist Humiliation Ritual, detailing his very awkward and puzzling experience on the set of Peter Vack's upcoming film www.rachelormont.com, in which he was berated by Peter and a large audience of extras for his criticism of Peter's sister's film, Actors, which he called transphobic and distasteful. Ana and Matthew get into that more specifically on the Patreon extended version, but the first half is mostly spent on his origin story and dishing on various Dimes Square adjacent subjects like: Theil bucks, Urbit / Curtis Yarvin, Red Scare, Milady NFTs, NPCC, Forever Mag and Angelicism. If you don't know what any of this shit is, please consider listening and finding out! Enjoy :)

To wrap up our 15th anniversary celebration -- and to set up our big 400th episode -- we take a fond look at one corner of New York City which taught us to love local history.Perhaps you know this area for Seward Park, the first municipal playground in the United States, or for Straus Square, named for Nathan Straus, philanthropist and co-owner (with his brother Isidor) of Macy's Department Store. Today, trendy artists and influencers instead spend their weekends in Dimes Square, just one block (and seemingly one world) away.In the 19th century, as Rutgers Square, this area became a small portion of a large German immigrant community called Kleindeutschland. In an inconceivable historical moment, a statue was almost raised here -- to William 'Boss' Tweed, leader of Tammany Hall.By the late 19th century, this place was the center for American Jewish culture, and East Broadway became Yiddish publishers row, hosting newspapers and magazines from a host of perspectives. In the 20th century, thanks to a mid-century housing boom (fueled partially by the labor unions firmly rooted to this place), some also called it Cooperative Village, with hundreds of old, deteriorating tenements replaced with new high rises.It's a neighborhood that means so much to so many -- and we hope you learn to love it all yourself, no matter what you call it. PLUS: We're join by staff members of the Forward, celebrating its 125th year of publication. Forward archivist Chana Pollack joins us along with Ginna Green and Lynn Harris, hosts of the the newspaper column-turned-podcast version A Bintel Brief.

Looking at a hopefully post-pandemic New York from all different angles—the vibe-drenched streets of Dimes Square, a festival stage in Chelsea, Jean-Georges's lastest masterwork in the South Street Seaport, and the moments after a could-have-been-worse car crash on the West Side Highway—Dave's offering up some predictions of what's next for his hometown. Then, to round things out, Chris and Noelle tag in for a whirlwind MOIF, covering such timeless topics as driving snacks, post-apocalyptic In-N-Outs, National Yorkshire Pudding Day, Dutch babies, and the beauty of Kidz Bop K-pop.

On today's episode of All in the Industry®, Shari Bayer's guest is Meg Bickford, Executive Chef at Commander's Palace, a New Orleans landmark since 1893, known for creating great dining memories. Megan “Meg” Bickford has called the Commander's Palace kitchen her culinary home since June 2008 and took on the role of Executive Chef at the New Orleans destination for leading edge Haute Creole cuisine in October 2020. Meg previously served as the Executive Chef of Cafe Adelaide, the Commander's family's playful, modern Creole restaurant. She comes from a family with a father from New Orleans and a mother from “down the Bayou” in Larose, so both Cajun and Creole influences run in her blood. As Commander's Palace is the kitchen where Cajun and Creole crashed for the first time in the 1970's with Paul Prudhomme and Ella Brennan, Meg and her Creole and Cajun influences are in the perfect position at the helm of the kitchen. Commander's Palace, the winner of seven James Beard Foundation Awards, has evolved into a culinary legend. Today's show also features Shari's PR tip to prove yourself as a leader; Speed Round; Industry News Discussion on restaurant reservation culture, and Shari's Solo Dining experience at Chef/Owner Ignacio Matto's Corner Bar within Nine Orchard, an elegant new hotel on Manhattan's Lower East Side. Photo Courtesy of Meg Bickford.Listen at Heritage Radio Network; subscribe/rate/review our show at iTunes, Stitcher or Spotify.

Taylor Lorenz, a columnist at the Washington Post, has helped to popularize “cheugy,” “OK Boomer,” and, most recently, “nimcels.”She wrote about “niche internet micro celebrities,” or nimcels:While influencers use their online followings to make money, “for a niche internet micro celebrity, the goal is purely to entertain, versus an influencer,” said Da. “I think this term emerged to distinguish people doing a similar thing to influencers, but for completely different motivations. Being a niche internet micro celebrity feels less capitalist, less ‘I’m a brand.’ ”On this week’s Dead Cat, we used Lorenz’s latest story as a jumping off point to talk about the evolution of the terms “creators” and “influencers,” the rise of podcasting, and Lorenz’s various Twitter scrapes. Lorenz is a language obsessive and is writing a book called Extremely Online. She doesn’t like the name for the beat most people associate her with — internet culture reporter — since she doesn’t see a sharp line separating the real world and digital life. We covered a lot of ground in this week’s episode. We talked about Lorenz’s recent tweet dismissing Dimes Square and her online beef with Marc Andreessen. “All these billionaires are so fragile,” Lorenz told us.“I love debating tech. I love it,” Lorenz said. “Andreessen had me on their podcast twice and didn’t release either of the episodes.”We also discussed Dead Cat co-host Tom Dotan’s latest story on YouTube’s accidental podcast ascendancy. He wrote over the weekend:Two recent surveys, one by Cumulus Media and one by Voices, showed that YouTube was the most frequently used podcasting platform, edging out Spotify and Apple's podcasting apps.…Last year the entire podcasting industry made $1.4 billion in ad revenue and is set to surpass $2 billion this year, according to the Interactive Advertising Bureau. It’s a quickly growing industry but still a drop in the bucket compared to the $29 billion that YouTube made in ad revenue in 2021, or the $209 billion that Google ads made.So befitting the provincial, self-referential nature of the podcast industry — we talked about a tiny industry, on an insider-y podcast, with a guest who herself says she’s looking to get into the podcast game.Give it a listen.Read the automated transcript.

Today's chat is another one with my soul sister, Default Friend, with whom podding is always such a pleasure that we're going to start doing it more often. Make it a regular thing. The prompts for today include a piece in Countere, an always interesting digital magazine, about an online support group for people with homicidal ideation. Specifically mass-homicidal ideation - Mass Murderers Anonymous - followed by a response piece, to a response piece about a response to a film review, a meta-criticism (of a criticism of a criticism) of the downtown New York arts scene known as Dimes Square. The art created by the scene has mostly been contained to substacks and podcasts, apparently, which is also fitting. So this is just one more of those to add to the list.  ——————————————————————“I Don't Like Mondays” by Tori Amos, 2001, courtesy of Atlantic Recordings.—————————————————————— Read the Countere article: Mass Murderers Anonymous: https://www.countere.com/home/mass-murderers-anonymous-how-recovery-groups-could-stop-the-next-mass-shooting, Crumps's piece: https://mcrumps.substack.com/p/my-own-dimes-square-fascist-humiliation/ and Default's piece about Crumps's piece:https://defaultfriend.substack.com/p/bad-anthropology—————————————————————— Today's episode is sponsored by Magic Mind Elixir!

It's really fun having Alex Delany on the show and getting to know the food and drink (and menswear and rare book) writer and collector a little bit better. You may know Alex from his time working at Bon Appétit as a writer covering home cooking, wine, cocktails, and naturally processed coffee (respect), as well as a series of memorable YouTube videos. But since leaving BA in early 2021, Alex has been busy working as a consultant, podcaster, wine educator, and most recently as the author of a really cool city guide called “Everything Good.” As the name suggests, the free Google Doc notes the good things happening in neighborhoods around New York City. In this wide-ranging conversation, we talk about his time working at Details (RIP) and later BA, where he rose to become drinks editor and write exhaustive guides about amaro, coffee subscriptions, and regional pizza styles. We also go over some of Alex's favorite places on his beloved Lower East Side (aka Dimes Square, aka one of NYC's most vibrant and controversial neighborhoods). It's really fun catching up with Alex.More from Alex Delany:Everything Good on the Lower East Side [Google Doc]Everything Good in Soho and Noho [Google Doc]I Never Thought I Would Say This: I'm Into This Non-Alcoholic Beer [BA]Sound Radio [Spotify]What Is Natural Process Coffee?

Thursday night, a living room in upper Manhattan. Two podcasters - a wayward English teacher (Andrew Ohringer) and a sardonic nanny (Lauren Teixeira) -- have invited their friend, a young playwright recently arrived from Flatbush (Matthew Gasda), onto their show to discuss his new underground hit play "Dimes Square," a razor-sharp send-up of contemporary New York bohemian life. The playwright is on this evening accompanied by two of his actors: his muse (Cassidy O'Grady) and a volatile moonlighting literary critic (Christian Lorentzen) who engages the English teacher's mysterious roommate (Mason). Fernet flows, ambient degeneracy simmers and soon enough the ramshackle sextet find themselves recreating rather than explicating "Dimes Square." --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ourstrugglepod/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/ourstrugglepod/support

TRANSCRIPT No matter how hard they try, the Marxists simply cannot leave the Church alone — the Catholic Church. Speaking spiritually, it's easy to understand why. Satan runs the Marxist media with its support for all kinds of evil, propagating the horrors of the sexual revolution. And because Satan knows the Catholic Church is the only legitimate religion on the earth — in human history, in fact — he aims all his firepower at Christ's mystical body. It is not very hard to do the math there. But what is curious is the question of his children here on earth. There is something in their psychology that draws them to the Church. They're practically obsessed with it. Check that. They are obsessed with it. It's almost always Catholic churches, Catholic families and so forth, in TV shows, movies, novels, you name it. There is something about the Church — magnetic, psychologically magnetic — where they simply cannot ignore it. So no one can be surprised when these periodic eruptions occur in the secular media, and it seems to be the case that these eruptions are becoming more frequent. For example, within a 72-hour period, the Church was once again the subject of nonstop editorializing at major outlets. A few days back, The New York Times published a guest essay by Julia Yost from First Things entitled "New York's Hottest Club is the Catholic Church." It was a quaint piece on the increasing acceptance of Catholicism among the younger generations, in reaction to the increasing chaos in the world. It had a tinge of nostalgia sprinkled in with a touch of admiration for the cultural trend. The piece focuses on a neighborhood in Manhattan called "Dimes Square," which has become something of a haven for those fed up with the zeitgeist, focusing on a blend between traditional Catholicism and Trumpism — a confident yet somewhat mellow approach to fighting back and resisting. It was certainly flattering and somewhat shocking on the pages of the New York Times, no doubt. But of course, anything even remotely favorable to Catholicism immediately brings out the boobirds. The Marxists simply cannot leave the Church alone. In this case, it was the radical leftists at Slate who castigated the Times for publishing anything non-condemnatory of the Church. The most revealing line in the Slate piece was regarding "traditionalists," a word the author has no clue as to its meaning. She says, "many [traditionalists] are campaigning, sometimes quite vehemently, for the stripping of rights from women and queer people." And there you have it. Slate correctly intuits that any faithful Catholicism must rebel against the sexual revolution. Too bad the bishops haven't figured that out yet. And if this wasn't enough (the Times/Slate coverage), a day or so later, yet another tête-à-tête broke out between The Atlantic and Fox News, again regarding Catholicism. This skirmish began with a heavily insulting piece written by a paid online "hate researcher" (whatever that is) who is employed by a Toronto Holocaust museum. The name of his piece — or, rather, the original title — was this: "How the Rosary Became an Extremist Symbol." Not very flattering. The blowback was so severe that The Atlantic changed the name of the article so absurdly, that it didn't even reflect the content. It went from "How the Rosary Became an Extremist Symbol" to "How Extremist Gun Culture is trying to Co-Opt the Rosary." That is quite the difference. The young fellow who wrote it clearly has a next-to-zero understanding of Catholic theology as well as Catholic devotional and spiritual life. He conflates all kinds of things that are, in their essence, unrelated. He doesn't know his Catholic vocabulary, doesn't know Catholic spirituality and doesn't know much about history. But hey, why would you need to know Catholic theology, devotions and spirituality to write a piece on Catholic theology, devotions and spirituality? What's important is that he is an "online hate researcher" and was casting about for something, anything, in the Catholic world to portray as "hate." Hey, Dan, you went barking up the wrong tree. In fact, in a game of low-hanging fruit, we actually challenged the clueless kid to a debate or at least an interview. I sent him multiple tweets, a large number of which were retweeted, saying let's hash it out. In one, I pointed out to him that if he accepts, then he might want to bone up because we wrote a book, The Weapon, all about the Rosary. If you would like, it's available in our bookstore, and, on a personal note, of the four I have authored, this is hands down my favorite. Just click on the store link on the site to order a copy. Thank you in advance. Young Dan is like so many his age, full of the narrative, with no ability to think clearly and absorb anything deeper. They set out to find some evidence of a preconceived story they are convinced is true and then just grab whatever they can and jam it into the storyline — even if it barely fits, or even doesn't fit. It's kind of like a cop being so convinced that Bob committed the crime that he just plants the evidence on him, convinced that he is justified in doing so because, you know, he's right. Faithful Catholicism must rebel against the sexual revolution. The mainstream media refuses to admit they have a worldview. They are certainly allowed to have a worldview, even a wrong one, but they don't get to pretend they don't and then "investigate" things and "objectively" report on their findings. They aren't "findings." They're distortions, lies, fabrications and poorly reasoned positions, all at the service of the narrative, because the narrative is all that matters — kind of like having to break a few eggs to make an omelet. Unfortunate, certainly, but necessary. What is it about Catholicism in these types of people's minds that must be "exposed"? Those sorts of questions — deeper questions are never even pondered in the minds of media critics — like the gang on Fox's noonday show, who did an admirable job of attacking The Atlantic for religious bigotry but completely whiffed on the larger point. As we proceed even deeper into these darker times, you can bet the mortgage that the unthinking mob sitting atop the ivory towers will continue to remain on the attack. For the sake of the innocent and persuadable, they must be resisted. And no, Dan, we don't mean stringing you up from a tree by our beads, although we can imagine that's how you would interpret it. You'd be wrong, just as your current article shows your ignorance. At least we think it's ignorance. Feel free, Dan, to reach out. We'd love to talk. And no, we aren't being cheeky or facetious. You need some schooling, as well as the humility to understand that. But humility isn't really the currency of the Left.
