I made a list of 20 books for readers who are getting into literary fiction for the first time:

I'm trying to put my finger on what this meek apology for terminology that riles the ideological sensitivities of others reminds me of...

I didn’t “burn” anyone. Standard practice for many that not telling the truth violates the off the record agreement. One ex: ABC’s Jon Karl in 2020 for his Trump book.

"Our life is a faint tracing on the surface of mystery… We must somehow take a wider view, look at the whole landscape, really see it… Then we can at least wail the right question into the swaddling band of darkness, or, if it comes to that, choir the proper praise." -A Dillard

I knew it

What a country.

Truth Social has crashed from the traffic surge and in so doing accidentally created a hauntingly poignant image.

...but how will Democrats screw this up?

"It was all good just a week ago..."

"...Maybe they can patch things up?" Naw.

Buried in the Trump-Elon drama was the news that Aaron Rodgers signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers this afternoon. Here’s the moment me and Kmele 🖐 informed Ari Weitzman, diehard Steelers fan, in the middle of the Tangle emergency pod. Ari then Immediately spilled his beer. 😂

"Like other retailers, Macy’s is trying to figure out how to offset tariff pressures with higher prices at a time when consumers, weary from inflation and wary of a potential recession, are tightly watching their budgets." wsj.com/business/retai…

"Brandon Johnson’s tenure deserves close attention—not just because it highlights Chicago’s problems, but because it sheds light on a broader debate about progressive governance in cities." slowboring.com/p/progressives…

The moment Elon went nuclear on Trump. When Musk sent his now infamous tweet, we were in the middle of recording our podcast. Here is the off the cuff reaction of Isaac Saul Kmele 🖐 and Ari Weitzman.

We are more than capable of having conversations about sensitive topics if we approach them with mutual respect, humility and curiosity. This should be the baseline! Really enjoyed my time with Isaac, would happily chat with him about anything anytime.

.Rand Paul is right. The debt ceiling should be raised only in tiny increments, if at all, until Congress reforms major programs and cuts spending in a way that promotes future fiscal stability. The current path is unsustainable and will lead to a massive economic crisis.

Temu can’t be trusted.
