Pretty thrilled about this, i have to say…

Harper’s believes that writers deserve the time, space, and editorial trust to pursue ambitious reporting wherever it leads. We’re grateful to see that tradition recognized by ASME for Daniel Kolitz’s “The Goon Squad” (National Magazine Award for Feature Writing). Read the article below. harpers.org/archive/2025/11/…

I spent two weeks at a Mars simulator for @Harpers 🤍It's a piece about brave utopian impulses, and the important (and sad) ways in which they can't quite get us to utopia. harpers.org/archive/2026/05/…

🚨 🚨 The Harper’s Gooner article has finally been translated into German 🚨 🚨

For the newly relaunched Magazine, I wrote about the complete reshaping of human culture by the Phone, and our weakness before it — and how it reminds me of a canonical A.I. doom scenario. nytimes.com/2026/04/06/magaz…

for the @studyhallxyz podcast, I had a very illuminating conversation with the legend himself @danielkolitz about internet journalism, gonzo reporting, and “generations.” podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

We’re excited to announce that the American Society of Magazine Editors has recognized Daniel Kolitz’s (@danielkolitz) “The Goon Squad” and John Jeremiah Sullivan’s “Twain Dreams” as finalists for the National Magazine Awards.

Thrilled to see this—wonder if they know about the National Magazine Awards in the GoonVerse and related Discord servers—also for the record this thing would not exist in any form without Elena, best in the business as is widely known & accepted by all

This Sunday at Press Play, Broadcast hosts @tonytula, @danielkolitz, and @heidegrrrrl for a discussion about the sexual preoccupations of very online men. Should we regard incels and gooners as emblems of dysfunction, or identities worthy of respect? pioneerworks.org/programs/pr…

Gooning by @danielkolitz is on Bloomberg's 2025 Jealousy List! The gooners themselves have perhaps transcended that emotion, which is interesting. bloomberg.com/features/2025-…

Insanely fun chat re: the Original Gooner, Philip Roth

A joy to break the fourth wall on my longtime Chapo fandom with a discussion of tranced nihilistic masturbation, the death of literacy, the replacement of prior forms of Being and Knowing with hyperkinetic Subway Surfers gameplay clips, etc.

Had a blast talking goon on @TrueAnonPod

Link appears to be working again!

Appears the link is down…perhaps a gooner DDoS attack although I think I gave them a fair shake…watch this space…

Kolitz restoring the one true millennial art form––the takedown––to its former glory:

Bloomberg reporter Charlie Wells searches for the millennial in strip malls, dating sites, and Rust Belt drug counseling offices. What he comes up with, writes @danielkolitz, has more blind spots than an episode of “Girls.” thebaffler.com/latest/millen…
