Featuring

A dive into the banal horror of Jimmy Fallon, the surprising politics of Texas’s original cowboys, and the hidden history behind a 19th-century coal mining murder spree. Beyond breathtaking cover art by Myriam Wares, you’ll discover the beauty of monster-hunting comic Bitter Root, and perhaps walk away with a newfound respect for ska music. We also look at the dark underbelly of lolcow culture, explore a long-lost socialist village in India, and learn how Bernie Sanders conquered Burlington. Speaking of Vermont, we also sit down with Ben & Jerry’s co-founder Ben Cohen to hear why he pivoted from making ice cream to trying to stop the U.S. war machine. Oh, and you’ll find an op-ed on the attention crisis from none other than Adam McKay: the Academy Award-winning filmmaker behind The Big Short, Vice, and Don’t Look Up. This is one magazine you don't want to miss.
