Ian Bogost on Chris Hughes’ facebook breakup announcement. Citizens need more than I dumped him, he didn’t dump me. But we can agree, facebook needs to go.

To end the week, I’ve got a Corey Robin twofer. In the New Yorker, an enjoyable, downright humanistic look at Eric Hobsbawm’s life and influence. And on the political science blog Balkinization, a piece on whether Trump is a disjunctive president.
Happy Weekend.
