The Final Scroll

A new chapter here at Infinite Scroll

So there’s good news and bad news.

The bad news is that this will be the final Infinite Scroll post for the foreseeable future.

The good news is that I’m joining The Argument as their new staff writer covering culture, technology and politics, and will be continuing to write about the exact same things over there as I have been writing about here at Infinite Scroll.

What does this mean for you?

Free subscribers here will be automatically transitioned to free subscribers at The Argument, and paid subscribers to Infinite Scroll will be automatically transitioned to paid subscribers of The Argument.

There’s no need for you to do anything at all. Or in language the readers of this blog might understand:

And if you’re a paid subscriber, you’re getting a fantastic deal. You’ll still be getting all of my essays on the social internet, but for the same monthly price as you’ve been paying you’ll also have access to absolutely killer work from Jerusalem Demsas, Kelsey Piper, Lakshya Jain, and more. Some of the fantastic work they’ve been doing:

• The Argument funds its own completely original polling work, and Lakshya has written incredibly incisive pieces breaking down the 2026 midterms, showing what actually sunk Graham Platner, and looking at what the public really thinks about AI. Paid subscribers also get access to the Argument/Split Ticket election forecast.

• Kelsey is, frankly, a powerhouse of a writer. She’s writing about what’s slowing down technological progress, education policy, the politics of AI, and much more. Everyone should be reading her work.

• Jerusalem is the reason I’m making this switch. I deeply admire The Argument’s core mission to promote a robust liberalism and to, well, argue about the things that really matter. I agree with that mission, I agree that we need a better version of liberal patriotism, that we need a better class of public intellectuals, and that any successful liberalism must include Abundance.

• The Argument also hosts a podcast with Jerusalem and Matt Yglesias and has a diverse roster of guest essayists who pop in from time to time like Derek Thompson, Maia Mindel, Robinson Meyer, Kyla Scanlon, Joey Politano, and more.

In short - I believe in the work they’re doing at The Argument, and I’m excited to join them. I’ll be covering much of the same ground I have always covered - the serious effects of social media on our politics, culture, and society, as well as the wacky nonsense that makes following this stuff bearable. I see this as win/win, and I hope you do too.

It’s been a privilege to write for all of you for the last three years, and I think the best is yet to come.

Here’s my first piece as a staff writer at The Argument:

“Obsession” and the horror of losing yourself
