It's time for yet another installment of Lenore and Rahab's monthly patron-only miniseries, "Article Brain!"

This time we wade into two very different, very stupid articles. First, Jacobin asks us why books aren't manly anymore. Then, Larry David (yes, that Larry David) shows that even a generational comedian can't make "socialism is when no iPhone" funny.
