When a cancelled performer reënters the culture, we expect them to offer us a great work, channelling their newfound clarity into the finest art they’ve ever made. With his new comedy show and début novel, has Louis C.K. met the bar?

Since February, according to my latest analysis, almost 600,000 Black women have been economically sidelined. The November 20, 2025, Jobs Report makes clear this isn’t a blip. It’s a structural crisis. That is not a recovery. It is a redistribution of opportunity.

I'd be really curious if someone better versed in feminist theory wrote about what's happening on the right. Because between Greene, Mace, and Bobert, we've got this bloc forming of women who seem tired of serving a patriarchy of sex criminals. And their rhetoric is starting to lean that direction.

Let me clarify here because I didn't mean this as an attack, in all of the discussion about where Nuzzi has been this piece at least acknowledges that she isn't trustworthy as a journalist. But, it is part of a larger body of conversation where Nuzzi is being slowly shifted to victim status
i mean no disrespect, but i essentially call for her to never work as a journalist again in this piece, so it feels weird to lob this criticism at my piece.
