Hello beautiful paid subscribers! We hope you’ve enjoyed your weekend. If you’re having Sunday scaries, like me, then you’re in need of some lightness and levity. I hope this unpublished moment from our interview with Nellie Bowles fits the bill. In it, she talks about what it’s like working with her wife, Bari Weiss, at The Free Press. Adaam and I rela… ncG1vNJzZmitnpiys8DAoqVnq6WXwLWtwqRlnKedZL1wusSlo6KdXZe8uLjErGSbmaKeerixyKyq
In 2024, the most radical act imaginable is telling the truth. Nellie Bowles has done just that with her new book, Morning After the Revolution. She lays out in painful but funny detail the madness we’ve all just lived through that almost no one will talk about. Bowles is too nice to humiliate the New York Times outright; she was their “golden girl,” after all, once upon a time.

THE ELECT: NEORACISTS POSING AS ANTIRACISTS AND THEIR THREAT TO A PROGRESSIVE AMERICA PREFACE I’m not one for long introductions – I like to get to the point. However, before we begin I would like to give the reader a sense of the trajectory of these installments, and what kind of statement they are intended as making. This book is not a call for people of a certain ideology to open up to the value of an open market of ideas, to understand the value of robust discussion, and to see the folly of defenestrating people for disagreeing with them.
Serves: 4-8 (it depends whether it’s the main course, or it’s part of a buffet) Preparation: 40 minutes Cooking: 60-90 minutes Ah, this recipe! It was instrumental in bringing me to explore the Indian sub-continent cuisines, and their numerous delights. It’s one of my all-time favorite dishes, regularly ranking among my top five recipes — yes, I’m often asked about my favorite ones. More than a decade ago, we bought what became our favorite cooking book: “Cuisine pour étudiants fauchés et pressés !
NESARA/GESARA – The Progress Report QFS, Dinar & Zimbabwe RV. NESARA (National Economic Security and Recovery Act) and GESARA (Global Economic Security and Recovery Act) are concepts originating from a set of economic reforms proposed in the United States in the 1990s. The original NESARA proposal included measures to abolish income taxes, cancel out debt, and return to a commodity-based currency system (such as gold), among other financial reforms. However, this proposal never became law.
The third season of “Lupin” (Netflix) gives lie to the notion that all good series eventually jump the shark. Au contraire, mes amis! The suave Assane Diop (Omar Sy), France’s most resourceful, debonair thief, remains at the top of his game—doing whatever it takes to save the world (and his loved ones) from the unscrupulous 1 percent. This season, Assane’s absent mother (Naky Sy Savane) becomes the focus. Having not heard from her in years, Assane suddenly begins receiving messages that she’s been kidnapped and being held hostage in Paris.
What is this map! What is happening here! WHERE IS UKRAINE? Jezebel has a pretty good group of questions about this map, but I have my own. Okay first for those of you who don’t know, this is from the Netflix Christmas movie A Christmas Prince: The Royal Baby, starring Rose McIver (who is lovely). It’s the third in the Christmas Prince series, which began with Rose McIver playing a journalist who falls in love with the prince she’s tasked to cover for some gossip site.
Share I don’t tend to gravitate toward depressing media, unlike my wife, who seems to love it.  We watched “Ripley” – a Netflix limited series – because it takes place in Italy (suckers for Europe over here), it’s in black-and-white (suckers for arty posturing over here) and looked like a beautiful rendering of a 1990s thing (a depressing movie called “The Talented Mr. Ripley”) that we kind of liked (her more than me).
