There's a companion piece to this one, also for
@MUGGER1955 , about how I "Did the Work" for many other hot take artists (and how I briefly, very briefly, chased hot take glory myself)https://www.splicetoday.com/writing/the-millennial-media-hustle …1 reply 3 retweets 4 likesShow this thread -
And if you ever want to know which pieces those are, well...I reuse certain phrases over and over. Easter eggs. You'll know them if you've "read" (no one reads; I meant "do the work") my oeuvre. Stuff like "missed happiness by a few minutes at some appointed destination," etc.

I pride myself on being very "formulaic," in that I use the same "cut-ups" or "routines" over and over. The value of Repetition. Does art gain by Repetition? Does the Work gain by Repetition? Even promoting this story, which I've promoted before, is a Repetition.

got any “oeuvre” where you DESTROY someone that has an otherwise reasonable - and perhaps only mild - difference of opinion from you? Those are my fave oeuvres.

you know the takedown will be good when you read a word like ‘risible’ before you’re done with sentence one.

i've only ever addressed the notorious FDB in print that one time. @nberlat has done most of that work -- you can buy his book "chattering class war." it's separated by section based on the person/group he's responding to
