Making crude cracks about Talarico’s sexuality, then opting to dress up as a gay wizard. That’s about right.

The president and his allies’ support of Vladimir Putin will tarnish their legacies in infamy for generations. Vichy France has met its match.

If this is true it's a level of evil that's really, really hard to imagine. It's not a good-faith question about how much we should fund Ukraine or what realistic endgame goals are. It's choosing to put innocent civilians in harm's way. I hope there are investigations.
The U.S. may have intentionally withheld early warnings this week of Russian strikes on Ukraine, multiple sources familiar with the matter told CBS News. cbsn.ws/4yNtwNv

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

I was surprised to be invited on Steve Bannon’s @Bannons_WarRoom to talk for an hour about my new novel The Breakup. Bigger surprise: 100% intelligent, thoughtful, low-key, great conversation. Drops Saturday morning at 11 am ET. warroom.org/ warroom.org/category/warroom…

So after reading: “A marriage cracks apart as a near-future United States redraws its borders”- I bought the book, the Kindle version and the audio version because I spent a third of my time in a car. Looking very forward to this….

Watch or listen to my @reason Q&A with @KBAndersen abt his novel The Breakup, cofounding SPY mag, calling Trump 'a short-fingered vulgarian' back in the 1980s, and his (erroneous!) beef with Milton Friedman, among other things. reason.com/podcast/2026/08/1…
Among the best novels I've read in a decade. A 'thick' work of the near future filled w characters who are funny, surprising, and real in a way our contemporary chattering class isn't at all. Look for my @reason Interview w @KBAndersen abt The Breakup, SPY mag, Trump, & Boomers.

"During that summer of the first attacks, I referred to the violence a few times as the hillbilly intifada."
