I was lucky to receive an advance copy of this book, and all I can say is if you’re a sci-fi fan, put this on your calendar for May when it comes out!

What you’ll get: religion, politics, suspension pods, onions.

I love this spectacular Ruffed Grouse Pennsylvania resistance bird by Jen Rand ( @jenrand.bsky.social ). The star is a nod to the Quaker tenet of nonviolence, and the style harks back to PA Dutch folk art.

If this is true (and that’s not a small if), it is reasonable to posit that Bezos is trying to offload the Post. Or kill it altogether.

Sports is a top driver of traffic and subscriptions for most news sites.

And we’ve seen how Bezos and Lewis have mangled the Opinion section.

"Surely THIS will be the thing that ends Trump", part one zillion.
This is true, but I also think even Trump, with whatever valiantly struggling handful of brain cells he has left, has been able to perceive that a war with NATO would certainly be the end of his presidency. There is just still too much institutional momentum against it--he would break himself.
There's a wild dichotomy where Trump both loves the aesthetics of violence and the power it implies but actually really dislikes seeing death and destruction (see his comments about Good, Ukraine, or even Gaza)
