    "Breathtaking in scope and ambition... SAY NOTHING is a searing examination of the nature of truth in war and the toll taken by violence and deceit, a lyrically written work that will take its place alongside the best of the books about the Troubles."

  2. I can't overstate how many Trump voters I spoke with in 2016 cited the Apprentice as reason for believing he could fix the country. This piece on the man who made a killing off the show's cynical myth-making is so well done and so maddening.

    In solidarity with , and to honor the memory of Jamal , everyone should watch and share Hasan’s brilliant Saudi Arabia episode, which the Saudi government banned. It is still online on YouTube:

  6. "The findings add to a growing body of evidence that clutter can negatively impact mental well-being, particularly among women." That sound you hear is my dear wife weaponizing this article.

    "I’d love to see a female President. Just not Hillary Clinton. Or Elizabeth Warren. I am totally open to all other women leaders, but I have to admit that Kamala Harris and Amy Klobuchar are beginning to make me angry and I’m not sure why yet."

    Tomorrow is going to be a historic day on Capitol Hill, with over 100 women being sworn in to the 116th Congress — a new record. The future is bright. 📷: Martin Schoeller

  9. Thanks for this advance review of SAY NOTHING: "Keefe blends espionage, murder mystery, and political history into a single captivating narrative...deftly turning a complicated & dark subject into a riveting and informative page-turner."

    Trump added that there were many "computer boards" in this Iran meeting with the hottie generals. (I had to wait until other people tweeted "computer boards" to make sure I wasn't imagining this phrase.)

    The real estate industry sources quoted here skirt an uncomfortable (for them) likely factor in plummeting multimillion-dollar Manhattan apartment sales: Treasury's anti-money laundering requirement that LLC cash buyers disclose their identities.

    Before 2018 becomes ancient history, if you have not read this account in the New Yorker by about Trump and Mark Burnett you really don’t understand how this mess-of-a-human became POTUS. With DJT there is no there, there and never was! See:

    Revenge is a dish best served cold, envy should be marinated overnight then grilled, contempt makes a fantastic paella.

  15. I may just have been watching too much peak TV but I'm *flabbergasted* to discover the cynical CIA agent in Narcos and Patricia Arquette's schmo husband in Escape from Dannemora are PLAYED BY THE SAME DUDE. Take a bow, .

  19. It's ridiculous to talk about things you couldn't fit into a 12k word article but I mentioned Burnett always wanted to break into scripted TV and wasn't very good at it... So for New Years, I give you: his ill-fated autobiographical sitcom "COMMANDO NANNY"

  20. A sharp debut that does some notable things: Channels FDR in going after the malefactors of wealth instead of everyone-doing-better blah-blah. Treats Trump as a symptom, not the full disease. Integrates stories of class and race, of a rigged economy and historical oppression.

  21. One of the saddest and most disturbing stories about America that you’ll ever read.
