It’s strange how many years I refused to participate in any kind of expressed grief on 9/11. Yesterday, in the rain, watching the walk of remembrance, a lot of memories came back. That bell!

"I am glad to spend time at my mother’s. There’s a pool to swim in when it’s warm and lots of room to bring friends. Mostly, it’s Mom and me as she slows. Or maybe slows is the wrong word. As she leaves." A five-minute listen, maybe not easy paloma-media.simplecast.com/episodes/perse…

For those who responded to the below tweet by informing me that Democrats lie too!, here's a @palomamedia read of my recent @Reason piece about ways to think about--and discourage--political lying ... on both sides. paloma-media.simplecast.com/episodes/how-d…

Took the paywall off this one: Nancy Rommelmann reads her recent story in ⁦@dcexaminer⁩ on the brutal slaying of Rachael Abraham, a mother of six, and how everything modern Portland did led to her horrific and predicted murder podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pal…

"We wanted to make something beautiful for beauty’s sake," writes @MattWelch, penning a goodbye love letter to our little media site, to the hundreds of you who let us run your beautiful work, and to all the readers. On to 2023! palomamedia.com/articles/thank…

“Why is Nancy so drawn to narcissistic liars? Why is Sarah so willing to defend terrible people? The tension grows thick. Will our hosts ever stop quibbling and admit they’re in love?” Happy 2023 tweeps! open.substack.com/pub/smokeempod…

"How long would Portland keep falling for the upside-down world? How long before it became clear people must extend a significantly larger amount of empathy to people like Rachael rather than people like her murderer?" New from me. Please share x washingtonexaminer.com/politics/a-mur…

Fabulists! Hoaxers! Cults! Depp-Heard! Deep deep DEEP into the episodes are @sarahhepola and I about to go, to bring you the best of smokeempodcast.substack.com 2022...

I promise there will be no Forrest Gump accents in my @palomamedia read of today's @Reason piece about going all 1976 on 2023! paloma-media.simplecast.com/episodes/in-20…

A familiar arc: '60s activist turns late-'60s radical turns violent convicted felon (with COINTELPRO's fingerprints nearby) in the early-'70s, then upon release climbs through the ranks of academia. But Ron Karenga also invented a lasting winter holiday. palomamedia.com/articles/ron-k…

Harvey Weinstein Is guilty and are people talking about... “nepo babies”? Also: another Twitter tranche (from @lhfang!), what we gain (and maybe lose) when we step away from social media, and why it’s always better to complicate the picture open.substack.com/pub/smokeempod…

Are we seeing what was behind the curtain at Twitter? Sure. But the drama now is in full view. (Or is it?) (Also, Elon, please stay out of our DMs.) Subscriber bonus: Sex sells (but who's the customer?), MILF Manor, and where to touch us to make us gasp open.substack.com/pub/smokeempod…

"It's the worst time ever to be a Jew - except for all the other times," with guest ⁦@mcmoynihan⁩. Plus links to Banksy in Ukraine, ⁦@JamesFallows⁩ on problems with ProPublica’s lab leak story, and ⁦@katrosenfield⁩ on introverts palomamedia.com/articles/its-t…

A nice writeup on the birthday of William Lloyd Garrison... palomamedia.com/articles/willi… via @palomamedia

He may look like someone who has stolen art from my grandparents hanging in his home, but rest assured, @mcmoynihan is a true friend of the Jews. We had a blast recording this one! listen to Ask A Jew on @palomamedia or wherever you get your podcasts. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ask…

"What is known is that she was a stone fox--like, so hot that her name means 'the beautiful one has come forth'--and that she wed the pharaoh Akhenaten, and was by his side when he shook things up by shifting the nation towards monotheism" palomamedia.com/articles/nefer…

“Let’s see, mistresses, food, literature…is Dumas appreciated by the French? Quite.” Also @palomamedia’s Person of the Day palomamedia.com/articles/alexa…

"Portland needed the police to be the villains in order to justify its ostensible good intentions." Good intentions, I argue, in this 3rd open letter on criminal justice with @TanaGaneva, that have led to disastrous outcomes, including murder open.substack.com/pub/nancyromme…

Who is Allan Alcorn, besides @palomamedia's Person of the Day? Just the dude who transfixed our dads, who called us over to the TV sets for the most fun ever. Also: A new Ask a Jew, "Jews Can't Chill," and an MLB Beauty Mark that will make your brain hurt palomamedia.com/articles/allan…

Is Taylor Swift the Israel of the music industry? What to do about a Jewish mother-in-law? And which holocaust survivor had a fun day at @yadvashem?? All this and more on this week's Ask A Jew, listen on @palomamedia or whereever you get your podcasts. askajew.substack.com/p/jews-cant-ch…
