We saw “A Complete Unknown” tonight. It paints a portrait of Dylan as a magnificently talented and charismatic asshole.

Sam Keen, Philosopher of the Men’s Movement, Is Dead at 93

Trip Gabriel / The New York Times

I did not read Keen‘s book. I had not even heard of it or him until I read this obituary. I did, however, read “Iron John,” by Robert Bly, which was published about the same time and was another touchstone of the men’s movement of the 90s.

I think there are many, many ways of being a man and I am not the type of man that the men’s movement of the 90s spoke to. And if the “manosphere” of the 2020s is anything like how I’ve seen it described, I certainly don’t want to be involved in that.

"Students Yelled at Me. I’m Fine."

Xochitl Gonzalez at The Atlantic:

… these were students in America doing what students in America should do: questioning authority (in this case, me) and using their rights to free speech and free assembly to engage with issues they are passionate about.

Also, Rümeysa Öztürk, a Tufts University grad student, was surrounded by “hooded and masked plainclothes [ICE] officers” near her Somerville, Mass., home. She was “seized in the street, handcuffed like a criminal, and put inside the back of an unmarked car in what looked, to passersby, like “a kidnapping.”

She is a Turkish citizen legally in the U.S. who did nothing other than write a civil editorial urging her university to “take more seriously a vote from the student senate calling on the university to divest from Israel.” She broke no law.

Marco Rubio’s interpretation of law to justify Öztürk’s arrest is “just one more example of the Trump administration’s attempts to change America from a nation of rights to a nation of privileges that can at any moment be revoked.”
