FYI, I wrote a biography of the French philosopher Henri Bergson which the NYT described as “lively and deft”, and which John Banville called “the most intellectually stimulating book I read this year” (in 2024). I am biased, but I think you should read it.

The Trump regime is fighting against the regulation of prediction markets as they bilk the gullible and incentivize corruption. Why? Because Don Jr. is cashing in big-time.

The new round values the prediction market at $21 billion, up from $15 billion. Mr. Trump’s firm, 1789 Capital, will invest around $300 million.

The Trump EPA itself acknowledges that trifludimoxazin is known to cause cancer in animal models but - before approving this forever chemical for widespread use - did not assess the cancer risk to farmworkers who use the pesticide or to people exposed to trifludimoxazin-contaminated food or water.

He’s definitely feckless, but I don’t think he’s a fool. I strongly dislike him but I’m pretty sure he plays dumb for populist apeal. It all seems very calculated and gross.

If clean energy is used rather than coal it would be great, but if, say, this requires nuclear power, his emphasis on deregulation is not comforting.

novel idea. In the future humans think of themselves as "Greater Sornaks" because when the alien empire contacted us they thought we related to a species called a "Lesser Sornak". The protagonist comes to realize that this is not true - the resemblance to Sornaks is superificial. We are monkeys.

If you take out all the shit that Chris Rufo tried to shove under the label “woke,” Bouie’s definition is still what folks who are using the term in a non-derogatory kind of way mean. Even the detractors should admit this is the core idea of Wokeness even if they think it “went too far”.

it is in fact just the media, which has devoted more attention to this than it has to the fact that multiple republican lawmakers are dealing with “we hired nazis” scandals and that the “we hired nazis” problem extends to the white house
