Spring 2025, “Rebuilding Year,” is out now!

After a storm at sea, salvage washes up on the beach. The post-shipwreck project becomes seeing what you can save from the receding tide. A long terrain is in front of us, laced with the wreckage of our failed forays, waiting for us to rebuild.

In sports, a “rebuilding year” is the period of time that follows a major change. If Walter Benjamin had been a sports fan instead of a snowglobe enthusiast, he might have used “rebuilding year” instead of Rettung (salvage) as a metaphor for recombining the wreckage of history. You say something is a rebuilding year when you know that there are no victories in your immediate future, and so instead of chasing near-term returns, you choose to focus on building strength for future fights. Get a new coach; flush your roster; drill the basics; go to ground. Rebuilding Year is about the feelings that wash out when the tides turn against you—grief, weariness, and determination. It’s the feeling after upheaval, after your companions-in-arms have departed, after a regime change.

Picking our way across the damp sand, we are looking for flotsam and jetsam we can use.

IN THIS ISSUE:

• Dania Rajendra learns from American football and coaches the Left on updating its playbook.

• Kate Thomas celebrates gay soup and community building at @queersoupnight.

• @officialkellypendergrast peers into a supremely evil object, the Trump-Netanyahu handbuzzer joke, and its fallout.

• Sam Thompson recuperates the radical potential of EXTREME cleaning videos on YouTube and foments the social strike.

• @beedennison excavates layers of glitter and imperialism in the Itaewon, the “international neighborhood” that Seoul rebuilt.

The physics-defying constructions in “Rebuilding Year” illustrations have been salvaged and remade by @katherinestreeter
