U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

I tell you what, Ring figured out exactly how to weaponize white people’s empathy in service to a corporately controlled surveillance state.

👀 Apparently, Ross Douthat invited Seth Harp to debate him on Douthat's "Interesting Times" NYT podcast. Harp says that the episode was recorded, Douthat got crushed, and RD/NYT decided not to publish it.

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

First #poetry of the year. Firstborn (1968) by Louise Gluck, Pulitzer prize winner. I read a modest amount of poetry. I didn't understand any of this. Was I supposed to know her life, history? Is she referencing an abusive relationship? Am I supposed to put whatever I want onto it? Next 💙📚

The Correspondent - Evans. I never love these super popular books. This was good but not best of the year good. Reminded me a little of Frederick Backman with less charm.

Someone hire this young and excellent journalist, who interviewed me last summer about concentration camps for his Texas newspaper. He's won accolades from Scripps Howard, NY Press Club, ONA, NLGJA, and the Society of American Baseball, not to mention a shoutout from Best American Sportswriting.
Friday news dump? I was recently laid off by McClatchy/Fort Worth Star-Telegram. I loved expanding into politics/policy reporting, and pursuing stories about communities underserved by their local paper.
Eager for correspondent-level work? Or, have something else in [email protected]

Wuthering heights is a terrible book. I could pull out a quote of someone threatening someone else and you wouldn't be able to tell which character more terrible than the next, is ranting
