  1. We have been treating the words of bad-faith actors in good faith for far too long, and I want to make the case that we need to start actually classifying them as conservatives.

  2. Last night I listened to podcaster David Runciman and journalist Helen Lewis talking about Fight Club, and how it holds up 25 years later;

    The political aspect of the discussion exemplified a common lack of understanding among the political class, about what fascism really is and how it works. One that I also lacked when I first watched the film, about 20 years ago.

  3. "At its worst, The Joe Rogan Experience is one of America’s top venues for rich and powerful people to complain about being publicly contradicted, and Rogan’s own feelings of kinship with the canceled mean that he has repeatedly hosted guests whose views are recklessly extreme."

  4. I encountered #HelenLewis’ work for the first time when she conducted the first (and perhaps still only) honest adversarial interview with #JordanPeterson back in 2018. It was a pleasure to see someone wrestling with Peterson’s ideas and strongly challenging some of them from a place of rigour and curiosity.

    Today I listened to Helen Lewis on #BariWeiss’ podcast, and definitely she’s a thinker and an author worth following:

  5. "The paradox of freedom, Florida style, is that it’s really an assertion of control. *People like us should be free to do what we want, and free to stop other people from doing what they want when we don’t approve.* That’s why it would be deeply unfair to call Ron DeSantis a petty tyrant. If he is a tyrant, he is an expansive one." theatlantic.com/magazine/archi
