Love all of your points. He really had little to say to defend the Times coverage. Disappointing.

That's an excellent, rollicking piece -- thanks for pointing it out !

Also, I regret her total focus on Nolan. A massive film such as this, as you guys show so well in all of your coverage of costume designers, is the result of a huge team of creators. Her personal attacks do not do justice to their great work...

I also thought that it was incredibly ungracious of her. When the news of the film was announced, it sent sales of her translation through the roof. So, she is profiting greatly while slagging off the film in such harsh terms. Also, she is a translator and a classicist, not a film critic

Agree completely with you. I have written two non-fiction books, and countless magazine feature stories -- have never felt any need to use AI (for those that were done in the past few years)

Agree completely : a remarkable film that is good for the soul !

Here’s Le Petit Simon, not frolicking at this exact moment, but absolutely loving the snow in front of The Louvre.

It is as though, for the NY Times, being truthful and clear would be distasteful. And just another reason why we are where we are right now — shameful

People who watch Fox News— or, now, CBS News

Great but didn't you also just vote for another Trump nominee ? Care to explain that vote, on the day after one of your constituents was murdered by his masked thugs ???

One funny detail : the designer Karl Lagerfeld was obsessed with the Princess Palatine, and, at one point, wanted to write her biography !

So hard losing a pup. I ended up bringing a new one home a couple months after. A new story with a new soul has been amazing… ❤️❤️❤️

And don’t forget, for years, she dictated all of the book coverage of the Times. Imagine having such a banal, reactionary thinker overseeing all literary coverage

Excellent interview, as always. I wish you would have asked about Biden's suggestion that he would be president for only one term--what happened to that idea ?

William Middleton @williamfmiddleton.bsky.social · 10/10/2025

It's sadly hilarious that we have never heard this kind of scenario from a Democrat

William Middleton @williamfmiddleton.bsky.social · 10/10/2025

I agree completely but to have exerted diplomatic pressure, Biden would have had to see the Palestinians as being human. And he just couldn't do that--Kamala couldn't either, I'm afraid...

It’s not a chilling effect. It would only be chilling if you had something horrid to say, and you don’t, do you? Certainly nothing critical of the regime, and absolutely no paraphrasing, not of anyone, not at this time!

What is amazing about this, too, is how late into the Nazi regime this happened : 1939. We have covered six years in a matter of months...

Any evidence ? Or just vibes and racism ???

Only someone who was not a member of one of the many minorities he targeted would laud his civility — shameful

OMG : I can’t imagine an author or an editor being responsible for such clunky prose. His politics are terrible — his writing seems to be even worse…

Excellent piece, thank you. But don't you think that AIPAC support for some of the centrist Dems is also a factor? But I agree with you completely : their lack of support of someone who has created such excitement is disqualifying and makes them look foolish and out of touch

Get some fight, man — against the fascists ! They’re the problem, if you haven’t quite twigged to that …
