Should you find yourself in need of a developmental editorial for a book project — fiction, non-, something in-between or somehow neither — I’m looking to take on a few more clients between now and the fall

The Bukele regime has arrested Ruth Lopez, an internationally renowned human rights and anti-corruption attorney who has been publicly critical of the Salvadoran government's abuses.
I had the honor of interviewing Ruth earlier this year, she must be freed.

one of my favorite running storylines in culture is that people treat JAMES BOND as a franchise full of classic, beloved movies that has only recently lost its way, when the reality is that literally almost every single movie in the history of the franchise sucks.

This piece on SNL’s 50th anniversary by @sidhubaba.bsky.social clarifies for me why I haven’t cared about the show for a couple of decades. It revved its countercultural claims way past their expiration date. Its defanged satire points us away from doing real politics. prospect.org/culture/2024...
