Three years ago, Remo Verdickt and I spoke with this year's Nobel Prize laureate László Krasznahorkai - one of the friendliest writers I ever met. Here's the profile we wrote based on our conversation with him: https://t.co/IfmVk83bMs

What an indescribable feeling it is to see @ColumbiaSpec on the latest cover of @NYMag. Our very own student journalists reported, wrote, photographed, and illustrated a three-story package that gives an intimate portrait into Columbia University: a campus in crisis.

My husband, Prof. Steve Tamari, is out of the hospital. He will need surgery on his hand, and he is in pain from nine broken ribs. We are asking for time to rest and heal. We will not be taking media interviews at this time. Here is Steve's statement and ways you can support.

It is worth watching this CNN video from the moment Emory Econ Professor @CarolineFohlin came across the violent arrest of a protester on campus and asked the police, with shock, "What are you doing?" That's all that prompted an officer to hurl her to the ground and handcuff her.

Abu Ahmad holds a white flag, kneeling over the body of his son.

"I told you, let’s stay at home, my son! Let’s stay at home, my son!"

Ahmad was shot in the head. He didn't survive.

My first piece for @NewYorker, on the royal women of Dubai who risked everything to flee the brutality of its ruler, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, while he publicly espoused gender equality. A story of mind-blowing courage and terrifying cruelty. https://t.co/18tsUhCrnF
