I abandoned The New Yorker a while ago. The entire magazine is one big woke circle jerk. These are people who get high off of smelling their own farts. The bias is everywhere in the magazine. Their long-form investigative work hasn't produced something interesting in some time. They must have lost their talented writers and editors in a woke war.

So, I don't really care what someone from the New Yorker has to say about Joe Rogan, as they join the cancel crusade.

If anything, I may sign up for Spotify for standing up against cancel culture, and I won't be subscribing to the New Yorker at time soon.

I’m not sure I can agree with you about the New Yorker’s “wokeness” and bias. But I will say that the magazine’s humor pieces and cartoons have changed completely over the past ten years. They used to be genuinely funny, sometimes hilarious, and appealed to a broader wit and humanity. Now they’re miserably self-referential. I doubt they’re even funny to the tiny in-group of wealthy anxious Manhattanites for whom they’re written.
I signed up for Spotify specifically to support Rogan.
