This is a good and entertaining review of the Freeland memoir. Still can’t understand why she would adopt such a frivolous title

This is not even a spicy take these days. The admin bloat in higher ed is out of control
Save the university. Fire administrators.

This is a really well-written piece and its a good provocation for those who accept the supposed positive future awaiting us post-agi
The most revealing part of this conversation between Jon Stewart and Jacob Coxon wasn't Coxon's warning about A.I. doom, but his description of A.I. utopia, and Stewart's incredulous response. I wrote about it — and Francis Fukuyama's "Last Man," and A.I. easily solving the problems that bedeviled my father's field of mathematics for decades — here: nytimes.com/2026/10/18/opini…

I know they say never pick up a call from Isaac Chotiner but it was very late at night and I had just survived a pogrom so I figured why not. In the end I thought it was a good conversation about the hell that is the West Bank olive harvest.
New Interview: I talked to the journalist Jasper Nathaniel about what he witnessed in the West Bank when the WaPo’s Heidi Levine & multiple Palestinians were attacked by Israeli settlers, as well as what’s been happening there before the Israeli election. newyorker.com/news/q-and-a/b…
