I am sometimes, even often, wrong. But I am confident I am rarely this wrong.

theres obviously a lot of reasons why "literary culture" barely exists in america these days but it really doesn't help that we have an IMDb equivalent for books but no Letterboxd equivalent

@Jacob_Brogan 100%. And we can't depend on the ownership class to provide the platforms anymore because literacy threatens their political project. We need to start building our own cultural platforms, and I'd be happy to collaborate with my fellow book/art geeks! open.substack.com/pub/seriousmoo…

We need to read more and talk about books more. Our traffic, which was actually quite good on the whole, especially relative to the general decline of newspaper audiences across the board, attests to the need for that.

FACT CHECK: @JDVanceclaims “Judges aren’t allowed to control the executive’s legitimate power.” False: judges interpret what is or is not a legitimate use of power. This is a key aspect of the US system of checks and balances. @channeldraw / @nickhilden

My latest for @AJEnglish - Bowie’s Berlin: Up against the wall "Now, nearly 35 years after the Wall fell, with old divisions cropping up once again in Germany and the wider world, the story of Bowie and the Berlin Wall suggests important lessons..." aljazeera.com/features/2025/…

The outpouring of love for David Lynch should remind that you don't have to compromise your weirdness to be appreciated.

My latest for @AJEnglish - The US soldiers returning to Vietnam in search of mass graves: “Just the chance to go back and do something. I wouldn’t call it closure … my daughter called it ‘closing the circle’. That’s a good description.” aljazeera.com/features/2025/…

@DespegarMx @shakira @DespegarMx is a scam. When I paid for a ticket they gave me the wrong one, then they said I needed to pay more money to get the right ticket. I paid, they did not correct the problem, and now they are saying there is nothing they can do.
