The New Yorker Discussion Group

Join us for a lively discussion! Gather to engage in thought-provoking conversations on recent articles.

We will discuss these two articles:

Your Friendly Neighborhood Newsletter by Kyle Chayka (May 14, 2026, online)
Local newsletters from the “Boerum Bulletin” in Brooklyn to “The Eastside Rag” in L.A. are providing a sense of community that’s missing from our algorithmic feeds.

Signed, Sealed, Delivered: What happens when someone throws a message into the sea? by Lauren Collins (April 27, 2026 online; May 4, 2026 print edition)

Bonus article, to be discussed if we have time: 

Do We Think Too Much About the Future? by Joshua Rothman (May 8, 2026 online)
For most of history, people didn’t try predicting it. Maybe that was wise.

If you are not able to access the links above, email or call the Information Desk (info@beltiblibrary.org ; (415) 789-2661) and we will coordinate access to the articles for you.
