Magic Camp

Ben and Paul return after a yearlong hiatus to discover a world that is remarkably different...and utterly the same.

Ben and Paul have returned from a lackluster performance in the 2024 Paris Olympics breakdancing competition with something new for the campers. This week, we're trying out a new concept where we read snippets from the preferred written content medium of our time: The Email Newsletter. Highlights include a Petersonian meditation on Marcus Aurelius, slightly sexy poem snippets, and some bare knuckle badass writing from Paul's copywriting arch nemesis.

Bowie. Warhol. Chalamet. Need we say more? Paul and Ben reunite to discuss Dune Pt. 2, the fall of an iconic trad arts publication, and how to create a sun dial from a deconstructed milk carton.

It's Super Bowl Sunday, campers. And you know what that means—Ben and Paul participate in the futile but entertaining pastime of ranking and coronating the ineffable—pop songs, painters, and quarterbacks. So grab an Impossible chicken wing or three and crank the Tracy Chapman, because it's football night in America.

After a hiatus, Paul and Ben return to admit which member of the doomed Roy family they are, the horrors of AI art (have you ever wondered what's going on *outside* the frame of your favorite paintings?), and the glory of Nikola Jokic, Denver's favorite bear who learned ballet.
