thepublicdiscourse.com/2026/02/100241/ We are, as I said, mixed-up creatures. It turns out that Richard Weaver’s bestselling work, Ideas Have Consequences, is his worst book. But an author with his contempt for mass democracy would probably appreciate that irony.

thepublicdiscourse.com/2026/02/100181/ Zhao’s adaptation of Hamnet fails is visually luscious, and boasts a fantastic performance by Jessie Buckley as Agnes Shakespeare, but it doesn’t trust its audience to have enough media literacy to handle the subtlety of the book.
