Beyond Meat is a joke A quarter pound of Schadenfreude

Beyond Meat went public in the first place because of a delusional enthusiasm for meat replacements. Depressing. But to think that while $BYND gets meme-ified, we would long for that ecosystem, is more depressing still.

Beyond Meat is a joke A quarter pound of Schadenfreude

With Beyond Meat making financial news, I've taken the opportunity to re-introduce the piece I contributed during the heyday of the alt-protein craze. This was for @thebaffler.com and man does it hold up.

Tonightโ€™s Dinner Fell Off the Sysco Truck Syscoโ€™s market dominance means that something essential is being lost. As local businesses fade away, a sense of a distinct regional and local identity disappears with them.

"The narrators feel shut out of the world, but the world also is tangible and full of sensuality." A review of "Mammoth," and on the novels of WWB contributor Eva Baltasar (tr. Julia Sanches).

No Desirable Life: On Eva Baltasarโ€™s โ€œMammothโ€ โ€” Cleveland Review of Books For Mammoth, itโ€™s language that lubricates the violent and oppressive machine-city, and has thus betrayed her.

"Even though their attempts to strongarm life never fully succeed, these narrators take absolute responsibility for their lives. They assign themselves the task of finding ways to really live."

Sophie and I for @clereviewbooks.bsky.social, this was fun!
