Woody or Wexner?
It's a simple question made complicated by Ohio State Board of Trustees chairman John Zeiger's client, Leslie Wexner, lying for six years about when he ended his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein.

Just want to share with my American friends how the Australians respond to a shooting tragedy. Action, rather than thoughts and prayers.

The run that Rob Reiner went on between 1984 and 1992 is one of the most amazing hot streaks any director has ever had. Legendary stuff

Rob Reiner made some great movies but he was also unafraid to speak the truth, and was one of the public voices who knew you don’t squander your platform, and only got louder about opposing evil fucks as he got older. Legend.

Something that what happened in Australia and the ensuing discourse has brought back in to my mind is that there are still fewer Jews in the world today than there were in 1939

One reason “only” 16 people died is that the terrorists used singe shot bolt action rifles, thanks to Australia’s strict gun control laws. If they had access to semiautomatic rifles it likely would’ve been much worse.

All my recent books went from hardcover to trade paperback and almost all of my backlist in mass market has now migrated to trade. The role of mass market paperbacks is now handled almost entirely by ebooks. I'm okay with this but it is the end of an era.

Oligarchy (noun):
A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

This man deserves a Pulitzer not deportation papers.
In late 2020 a Chinese man called Guan Heng travelled to Xinjiang with our BuzzFeed map of detention facilities to provide ground truth for our work - he provided the first corroborating evidence for many sites.
He escaped to the US - then ICE detained him.

One more reason not to carry your certificate of citizenship if you are a naturalized citizen—if you lose yours, it costs >$500 to replace, assuming the Trump goons won’t try to deport you after applying because they know you can’t produce the certificate.
