Loved my conversation with Pulitzer winner Paul Starr - one of the founders of the @prospect.org - about his new book American Contradiction. We discuss how the End of the Cold War was the first step in the creation of MAGA populism.

Anthropologist Susannah Crockford and I produced this in 2024 about how miss info is a side hustle. Our public square is poisoned by a gig economy of lies.

I'm not through with the president calling a female reporter "piggy." None of us should be.

A new film on Christian nationalism by young pastors from the Doug Wilson-verse. This is cringe. But it’s also an expression of the theological nexus that formed Hegseth’s Christianity.

“Baby, don’t worry,” he said. “It’s not a worm.”

www.vanityfair.com/news/story/o...
I did not like to think about it just as later I would not like to think about the worm in his brain that other people found so funny. I loved his brain. I hated the idea of an intruder therein. Others thought he was a madman; he was not quite mad the way they thought, but I loved the private ways that he was mad. I loved that he was insatiable in all ways, as if he would swallow up the whole world just to know it better if he could. He made me laugh, but I winced when he joked about the worm. "Baby, don't worry," he said. "It's not a worm. ." A doctor he trusted had reviewed the scans of his brain obtained by The New York Times, he said, and concluded that the shadowy figure was likely not a parasite at all. He sighed. It was too late to interfere with what had already vaulted from the sphere of meme to the sphere of screwy legend, but at least I did not have to worry about the worm that was not a worm in his brain.
