It’s really awful that the Byzantines would ritually mutilate former rulers to keep them from taking the throne again but on the other hand this did mean no one had to suffer through episodes of the Nikephoros Bryennios Podcast Hour.
Liz Truss, who served 44 days as UK prime minister, goes full Curtis Yarvin.
Interviewing Yarvin on her new podcast, she calls for overhauling UK government to fit his vision.
“I agree with you, having spent 10 years in the system, you need to start from scratch,” Truss tells Yarvin.

I find it funny that Bari Weiss's new initiative is all about bringing SERIOUS DEBATE about IDEAS THAT MATTER back to television news, but the combatants are all podcasters or dudes like Stephen Pinker, who is being asked to weigh in on a subject very far outside his actual lane.

Season 4 of THE WHITE LOTUS
Spotted a 60-something man on the beach reading Olivia Nuzzi’s “American Canto.” His wife is nearby. She has Mar-a-Lago face and is wearing a trucker hat that says “Sun. Yoga. Champagne.” She’s been watching a live cam feed of her front door on a comically large tablet for the last 20 minutes.
