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.

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.

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…

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
In this episode, I accidentally pilfered an air bar from guest and gooning expert @danielkolitz, who joined me, @xlorentzen, and @BarneysRubble0 to talk about Portnoy's Complaint, psychoanalysis, mothers, masturbation habits, and more.

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.
This week on Chapo, we talk about our officially endorsed candidate beating the odds and winning! That's right, Jay Jones. We also talk about Kash Patel and his country superstar girlfriend, Dick Cheney's death, and then we interview @danielkolitz about his gooning article 👇👇👇

Wankbattling. Pornosexuality. The very real possibility that most people will be illiterate within like ten years. All this and more in my long-in-the-works report on the world of gooning, which you can read now in @Harpers

“What is this? Why isn’t it porn?” That is what they will say about this article (and all other articles) in the future. Until then: harpers.org/archive/2025/11/…

Truly bottom-of-my heart gratitude to @elenasb_ for taking this on and shaping it/making it better every step of the way. Immense thanks as well to Matthew Sherrill for expertly picking up where Elena left off and to @mr_gusaroni, this piece’s all-timer fact-checker.
