🚨 Beyond thrilled to announce that I am, at long last, writing a book.🚨

@mckaycoppins I'm compelled to note that the recent Celtic championships have been one-and-dones so the comparison would not be apt

Appreciate the compliments but I kindly request that you stick to Celtics comparisons in your praise.

@mckaycoppins Please accept this sincere honor and retire as a Laker, like Rondo

@andersen Invoking a Lakers star makes this a backhanded compliment, you know what you're doing

Who is having a hotter March: Luka Doncic or McKay Coppins? x.com/mckaycoppins/s…

for the April issue, I wrote about my grandmother, the forgotten women pilots of World War II, the nature of progress, and snakes: theatlantic.com/magazine/2026/…

Morally unconscionable.

While he was writing ULYSSES, Joyce told his friend Frank Budgen that he’d spent eight hours working on a single sentence. The sentence: “The heaventree of stars hung with humid, nightblue fruit.”

Last year, The Atlantic gave me $10K to gamble with. What started as a journalistic gimmick turned into something more... unnerving. My cover story on the online betting boom warping sports, culture, politics, and the psyches of millions of young men: theatlantic.com/magazine/2026/…

I wrote about Dario’s Oppenheimer moment and the utopian dreams of the nuclear age theatlantic.com/technology/202…

one tiny research facility in remote Alaska has been the subject of unending conspiracy theories for the past 30 years, no matter what the people who work there do to try to explain themselves. I went there to see what that's like! theatlantic.com/technology/202…

@itsclivetime @TrentonBricken @jerhadf I think there are some interesting details discussed in this piece e.g. how deploying in cloud vs. edge may not really make a difference for the red lines at stake theatlantic.com/technology/202…

NEW: The reason that Anthropic wasn’t okay with simply confining their models to the Pentagon’s cloud

I wrote about some odd looking Kalshi trades 👽 theatlantic.com/technology/202…

Autofiction by a guy who lives in a C-tier landlocked city who just goes to axe throwing bars and stuff

I'm prepared to accept the end of literacy, but in exchange writers and editors have to stop imagining a reader who can't follow long sentences, misses irony, thinks of counterexamples to everything, and doesn't understand jokes. That's over. We're down to the good ones now.

another favourite scientific headline, following confirmation of Einstein's general theory of relativity by observations of the 1919 solar eclipse. "Stars not where they seemed or were calculated to be, but nobody need worry" is a beautiful sentiment. i'd have that on a t-shirt

Among the tasks where AI is now becoming superior to humans: predicting the future. Which is pretty jarring when you think about it. theatlantic.com/technology/202…
