Just reading your newsletter and: '[Boyle] argue[d] that “all of history is a war between the family and the state.”' (Wrong.)

And, 'After Charlie Kirk’s assassination, she proclaimed we're entering “an era of the martyr”'.

Exactly as I'd expect. Public martyrdom = more surveillance and arms.

Didn't Trump insist he'd never been to Epstein's house? That Epstein only came to his?

Email clearly says that's a lie.

When my son was 5 he thought that was fine too.

Can someone, anyone, explain to me how these so-called 'elite' wealthy men (Summers head of Harvard for gods' sake) CAN'T SPELL and DON'T UNDERSTAND GRAMMAR?

Epstein the billionaire could barely string a sentence together. Trump can't.

How is this possible? Do Americans not learn in school?!

I find it quite amusing that he has so little traction on his own site by his own cultists.

Jon, if you've not heard this podcast, take a listen. Halfway in Gil's take on Mamdani's win — and the macro consequences — are spot on and need to be repeated from now until 2028.

No fear of billionaires. Make them fear all of us.

Just listened to you articulate this so well to @wajali.bsky.social on his podcast. VERY nicely done. The message needs to be repeated over and over and over — because it is absolutely correct.

I'll go for it over the holidays, as this year I'm staying home alone. Because I really really need the space.

Will let you know of course.

Oh gosh, thank you! Not a critique of you at all; it's just me. I am steeped in academic writing for 10 hours a day and need to stop. If I read it's usually history.

But thanks to your comment and the review, I shall buy and read it now. 🫡

This shut-down is going to be looooooong.

I have seen so much about this book in various places and from various people. But it's incredibly hard for me to read fiction. It would have to REALLY pull me in.

I've seen many notable accounts now cut off any responses. Whether academics I know making incorrect claims outside their fields (but touching mine), or today the Mayor of London (Muslim; hate's too Xtreme on X), it's the opposite of discourse.

What was wrong with blocks, mute, and hidden replies?

Aided and abetted by Bill Ackman, who's probably still weeping over Mamdani's win.

Cheney was the key man urging war in Iraq over WMDs it never had. The West followed his paranoia: over 1 million people died and trillions of $ spent. Resistance groups, ISIS etc were the result. The Arab Spring followed. People fled to Europe. Now right wing govts are growing—to curb immigration.
