Update: Bari Weiss’s first pitch at CBS — a roundtable with Antony Blinken, Mike Pompeo, and Hillary Clinton that ended up being a virtual interview with Clinton & Condoleezza Rice — has about 150 viewers on YouTube.

Added with the 24/7 CBS stream, it’s just over 1200 viewers.

JFC. Ron DeHaas, founder of the Christian antiporn app Covenant Eyes, has stepped down from NCOSE after his 38-year old son was charged with sexual abuse of a child.

Covenant Eyes is the app used by House Speaker Mike Johnson and his son to monitor each other's internet behavior.

Covenant Eyes Cofounder Helps Post Bond for Adult Stepson, Who Is Charged With Felony Child Sex Abuse

In August, Thomas Wideman, an adult stepson of Covenant Eyes cofounder Ron DeHaas, was arrested during a CSAM sting operation.

Couldn't believe my ears when that music AI guy said nobody actually enjoys making music. That ranks as one of the stupidest things I've ever heard. Anybody who knows how to make music enjoys making music. Why would they have ever learned to do it if it didn't bring them joy?

A billion dollars is the socio-political equivalent of a loose nuke, and we should work as ruthlessly and diligently to prevent the acquisition of the former as we do the latter.

“The problem with billionaires isn’t that they’re hoarding money that would otherwise pay for a Scandinavian social utopia. It’s that their money has become a source of wildly distorted political power that allows a few men with extremist views to wreak havoc on the rest of us.”

I don’t think it’s a sign of strength (or even intelligence) when these oligarchs lean into religion this way.

“Thiel says an Antichrist will emerge who will create a one-world government on the promise of something like stopping nuclear, AI or climate-induced disaster.
That figure, would curtail individual freedoms and halt humanity's shot at a future innovation that would avoid Armageddon, Thiel believes”

News: I have obtained full transcripts of Peter Thiel's Secret Antichrist Lectures (as have multiple other journalists).

They were supposed to be embargoed until 9 a.m. tomorrow, but Reuters has a story up. (They may have gotten them from a different source)

News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hours—and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of."

One CBS News staffer puts it like this to me: "We just got Elon Musked."

They are not planning "a violent crackdown" on 10.18. What they are doing is sending a signal to their shock troops to try to cause havoc. But those shock troops will be vastly outnumbered. Go out and protest freely. Do not be cowed.

@ZohranKMamdani's "plan" provides no relief for working families who take the subway, and unnecessary benefits to wealthy New Yorkers who take the bus and can afford the fare.

I focus on working families, while @ZohranKMamdani the mansion boy focuses on helping the rich.

Honestly, at least half of the guys on this bill have been MeTooed, and the only reason Bill Burr hasn't is because his material makes the MeTooing redundant. Hannibal Buress is a disappointment. Otherwise, this was just a festival of Guys That Suck

Today marks 2 years since A LIGHT MOST HATEFUL said "run from that small town, girl, they're going to kill you"

Normally I don't post 2-year marks for my books, but I just found out this one has earned out on its advance! 🎉🎉 so an ENORMOUS THANK YOU to everyone who's chosen to escape Chapel Hill ⚡

2 Years on the Run, above the cover of A Light Most Hateful by Hailey Piper, art by Julia Lloyd, showing a red cover with lightning striking a dark silhouette. Around it are the following quotes about the book:
Gemma Amor: "will leave you breathless"
Nat Cassidy: "phantasmagoric, unpredictable"
Publishers Weekly in a starred review: "ambitious, genre-shredding"
Rachel Harrison: "a writhing-in-your-seat nightmare"
Clay McLeod Chapman: "awe-inspiring"
Eric LaRocca: "imaginative and chilling"
I Jiang: "mesmerizing"
Library Journal in a starred review: "stunning, terrifying"

I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?
