Summer Breeze + Phetasy Digest
Democratic Sociopaths Of America | Libtoids Are Down With Leftoids | Hasan Piker Keeps Dressing Like Mao | Art Tavan Talks The Odyssey | Dirty Dancing Is A Little Weirder Than We Remembered
The heat is here. It’s been here for months, and, depending on where you live, the next month or two, the weather will be brutally hot. Find a pool, if you can, and, when you’re looking for a playlist that will soundtrack your excursions into the heat (or hopefully to a pool or lake or river), you can always play Summer Cool in the background. Feel-good, light, fun. Enjoy, Pham. Stay cool.

Even Liberals Are Over The Left
Bill Maher said he might vote for JD Vance. Van Jones told his own party to stop pooping in the punch bowl. And Hasan Piker showed up to the College Democrats convention dressed as Mao. The Left has lost its mind and old school liberals are finally speaking out. Bridget breaks down the DSA takeover of the Democratic Party, why there’s no such thing as too far left in America, and why the capitalists funding island bunkers instead of pro-America media are going to regret it. Also: a plea to David Ellison, one hundred million dollars, and a yacht for every pleb.

Why The Right’s Meltdown Over The Odyssey Is Liberal - Art Tavana
Bridget Phetasy sits down with culture critic and journalist Art Tavana — a former Playboy colleague — to talk about why the Right’s meltdown over Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey is the most Liberal thing they’ve ever done. They dig into how both sides have been completely consumed by the same culture war brain rot, why nobody can actually win this fight, how postmodernism has infected everyone including its own critics, and what it means that we’ve lost the ability to sit down and finish a movie. Plus: The literacy crisis nobody’s talking about, Gen Z’s dead-eyed immunity to outrage, how Playboy blew its last chance at a comeback, and why Christopher Nolan is just Michael Bay in a scarf.

Rewatching Dirty Dancing As An Adult Was A Mistake
Dirty Dancing was a huge hit when it came out. Everyone remembers the fun and the dancing. It also has a botched back-alley abortion, a 25-year-old male prostitute dancing with a 17-year-old, and a dad who was completely right the whole time. Bridget rewatches the 1987 classic and breaks down why the movie is genuinely insane, why nobody noticed because there was dancing, and why the only reason it became legendary is that the Lift at the end made everyone forget everything else. Nobody remembers the abortion.

A Love Letter to the Sane Women Holding It Down
Mar 22
I’ve been wanting to write this for a while because, more often than not, I find myself doomscrolling, screaming “NOT ALL WOMEN!” It seems like most of the women represented in media are, for lack of a better word, insane. I blame the algorithms for elevating the craziest of us. So this is for you—the woman reading this who has been quietly holding it t…

America Tried To ‘Fix’ Men For Two Decades. Here’s What It Got Instead.
America spent two decades trying to “fix” masculinity. It nearly broke the country — and the guys who complained the loudest about it turned out to be the ones with the least ability to fix it. America needs manly men — not men who are afraid of their masculinity, and not men who only talk about it.
