What many interpret to be Lana’s most “unhinged” remarks are these terse and lively hints. How do we know what Lana is really trying to tell us? Leo Strauss, the great 20th century philosopher, rediscovered the means by which esoteric writers communicate truth: the esotericist would first write in the “quiet, unspectacular, and somewhat boring manner which would seem natural.” Then, through “three or four sentences in that terse and lively style,” the esotericist would “arrest the attention of young men who love to think” and the “reasonable young reader would for the first time catch a glimpse of the forbidden fruit” (Leo Strauss, Persecution and the Art of Writing). At its core, Lana’s music is not a praise of independence, but a warning of impending national tragedy-one that those on the Right have warned us about contra proponents of the contemporary Liberal order. Lana is what we call an ‘esoteric’ or Straussian artist: her music seems straightforward, but it is all a facade for the real meaning that exists as subtext. However, underneath the surface of Lana’s music, there exists an entire world of subterranean political symbolism. Who is Lana Del Rey? To teenage girls, gay men, and millennial women on Prozac, she is a symbol of autonomy and independence, a sign of American feminist agency.

Description: John Galt's masterpiece of small-town Scottish life, written in 1821. The Glass Hotel, which blends the story of an investor whose Ponzi scheme falls apart in 2008 with that of a woman who disappears from a ship in 2018, is no exception. But Mandel, the 41-year-old author of four previous novels including the acclaimed Station Eleven, specializes in fiction that weaves together seemingly unrelated people, places and things. The story of Madoff’s infamous Ponzi scheme and the devastation it created looms over Mandel’s latest book, The Glass Hotel, out March 24. “And how much more intense our camaraderie would be if we all showed up at work on Monday morning to perpetuate a massive crime.” “It got me thinking about how much I liked my coworkers,” the novelist says, peering down at the wet sidewalks of Manhattan’s financial district from a restaurant lounge. John Mandel was working a day job at a cancer-research lab in New York when she learned of Bernie Madoff’s investment scandal. It's not difficult to imagine a different series in which Jason Todd terrorizes the metahuman yard as though this were a season arc from Oz, but that's a comic for better realities. Azzarello's dialogue remains quippy enough to cloak the exposition and it quickly leads to prison where the writer lingers in territory he previously relished in comics like Hellblazer and 100 Bullets. This standalone Batman comic from writer Adam Kubert and artist Andy Clarke offers another possible version of Jokers origin story. For some reason, this book decided to rip off the 2016 Suicide Squad movie even after the 2021 one, but just might be even worse. Red Hood's introduction provides all of the context an unfamiliar reader might need, complete with an effective splash from Maleev, as he is shanghaied into the Squad. Brian Azzarello continues to be my least favorite mainstream comic book writer with a bonehead edgy miniseries about Red Hood leading a Suicide Squad team to kill the Joker. The introductions, before any violence commences in the 48-page issue's back half, provide a very specific form of genre enjoyment as low-level creeps and sociopaths are placed in hostile environments together. Unfortunately, the fun times never really materialize as even a few final bloody pages are more eyebrow-raising than thrilling. It sounds like a fun enough time with plenty of killable characters to really indulge that "Black Label" stamp. For some unknown reason The Joker has been released from Arkham Asylum.

The researchers found that Earth gives off plenty of signs of technologically advanced life, with radio leakage coming from cell phone towers, satellite communications and internet signals. Ramiro Saide, an intern at the Search for Extra-terrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Instution's Hat Creek Radio Observatory and a master's student at The University of Mauritius, led the modeling to determine which signals might be detectable and how far from Earth they could likely be picked up. The researchers used crowd-sourced data to simulate the leakage of radio signals from cell phone towers and to determine how difficult these signals would be to detect from other planets.

A crushing number of stories remain untold. One thousand stories hardly puts a dent in the pandemic’s ongoing toll. Some had yet to graduate from elementary school. They arranged flowers and picked strawberries, kneaded biscuits and sang the blues. They were immigrants from Poland and the Philippines and lifelong Floridians who retired along the waters where they’d fished as kids. They sold lottery tickets and tended to the sick and lonely. They were cab drivers, veterans, teachers, traffic cops. Plenty had nicknames: Coach G, Cookie, Big Mike, Moosie, Boo-Boo. They loved Taco Bell’s Nachos Supreme, Disney cruises, the Golden Girls and an ice-cold Coors. The people these Times reporters wrote about loved Bible study, fish and chips, trains and flea markets.
