@kristidkerr2 @1pcornwell The book has not been “censored” but it has been banned.

@kristidkerr2 @1pcornwell “Book banning, a form of censorship, occurs when private individuals, government officials or organizations remove books from libraries, school reading lists or bookstore shelves because they object to their content, ideas or themes.”

Florida has banned Postmortem. Are you kidding me?

@RealDMitchell A very belated you’re welcome, well earned

Formula 1 owes the world an apology for that race.

In a war between democracy and illiberalism, it’s shocking how many liberals are using democracy to support illiberalism.

2024 Humanitas programs are open! "[We're] emerging from 2023 with a more expansive vision of how an org like ours might ‘empower’ writers in our community,” Franke said. “We’ll spend 2024 working to connect writers to programs [...] that impact their lives in measurable ways.”

Damn. I loved Andre. Tremendous talent. Tremendous professional. Tremendous person.
