I don't write the headlines on my @slate.com pieces but sometimes I wish I did: slate.com/culture/2025...

I don't publicly talk about it much, but my mom's been sick with an Alzheimer's variant for a very long time. For years I've tried and failed to write about it. This week, I finally found the right peg. Thanks to @slate.com for running this on Mother's Day. slate.com/life/2025/05...

Thanks to the great @maryharris.bsky.social for having me on @slate.com's What Next podcast to talk about the suddenly omnipresent Marco Rubio.

Marco Rubio's life story is an inspiring one: It shows that even someone who comes from nothing can grow up to wield great power very poorly. Me in @slate.com: slate.com/news-and-pol...

The Washington Post lost $100 million in 2024, which sounds like a lot. But that's only 0.00044% of Jeff Bezos' $227 BILLION fortune. For comparison, 0.00044% of $1,000,000 is $4.40. Bezos could cover the Post's losses every year for a millennium and never miss the money. slate.com/business/202...

It’s Clearer Than Ever What Jeff Bezos Wants With the Washington Post

Bezos will gladly help set the world on fire as long as he can bid on the contract to clear the debris.

You should read this @slate.bsky.social essay, in which I introduce my theory of “the midnight mind” and explain why, despite its diminished sphere of influence, Fox News is still quite capable of swaying the 2024 elections. slate.com/business/202...

What’s Happening at Fox News Isn’t What You Think. It’s Worse.

In the 2024 election, there's only one news network likely to make a difference.
