I’ve always liked Ben Affleck because I’m from Massachusetts, and I fuckin’ love Good Will Hunting, kid. Not to mention, he’s a Dunkin’ stan, I’m a Dunkin’ stan, etc., etc. etc. But Miles Klee and Alana Hope Levinson are really into Ben Affleck. They argue, in fact, that he’s the poster boy for millennial existential despair and addiction. Which, to be honest, is a very Massachusetts thing in and of itself. Anyway, pledge your allegiance to the dirtbag king of my home state.

The title makes it sound like this piece denies the existence of toxic Bernie stans, but it's actually a thoughtful, nuanced take tracing the history and effects of the "Bernie Bros" narrative. I'd recommend an open-minded read.https://t.co/Gfp3KrUSok

This, from @josephlongo_, may have supplanted Vulture’s piece on the viral (but fake) Mike Bloomberg Campaign Dance as my favorite piece to come out of the 2020 cycle so far. https://t.co/bcUZVGW2Lu
