A delightful and fascinating chat with @johannhari101 about why we are all so distracted by frivolous nonsense and how we can focus on what matters. "Stolen Focus" is about to come out in paperback. Johann is both entertaining & insightful in conversation: https://t.co/Q0bzf9uywa https://t.co/sG4XslwN4k

Winston Churchill, lionized as a heroic leader of the Second World War, was actually so disliked by the men who fought in it that they threw him out of office the moment the war ended https://t.co/HJSEEXzZtX

Have survived reading @laurenboebert's memoir. Actually, not the worst book I've ever read. (Maps of Meaning by @jordanbpeterson & Woke Racism by @JohnHMcWhorter are worse.) But the only one w/ a long explanation of a "penis in the bowling alley" incident https://t.co/5hugFMLalt

I have a great deal of respect for Prof. Loury’s willingness to consider serious critiques with an open mind. His newly reissued book “The Anatomy of Racial Inequality” is one of the most fascinating and insightful books on race I’ve read. https://twitter.com/GlennLoury/status/1458491797555105794

Today on the podcast: Rosa Brooks, whose book "Tangled Up In Blue" details her inside observations of the DC Metro Police, on why "good cops" cannot solve the dysfunctions of policing as an institution: https://t.co/nf1IFn9gZ1 https://t.co/RKCToblv7d

Reviewed @LukewSavage's excellent book on liberalism, "The Dead Center," which offers a clear explanation of why leftists detest "liberals" so much: https://t.co/QK8hkRvBvt

Delighted to talk to @doctorow about what online freedom looks like & how to destroy surveillance capitalism. Cory is a leading visionary for a pluralistic internet where eccentricity & individuality thrive. It's so important to keep that vision alive: https://t.co/csyNWW2vje https://t.co/D8ZSfQFhsQ

A remarkable book that every American ought to read... filled with King’s grand visions for a peaceful and fair future... is the clearest statement we have of what he saw as his “unfinished work.” It presents a clear challenge to those of us in 2022 to pick up where King left off

Today on the @curaffairs podcast: I talk to Prof. Aya Gruber, author of "The Feminist War on Crime," about why the criminal punishment system is terrible at addressing violence against women & why Prof. Gruber argues feminists should oppose criminalization https://t.co/CunNa6kQQM https://t.co/u6aYSLEnOI
