This is so embarrassing lmao. Gutless, obviously, but also incoherent https://t.co/SJ1FLuGNHB

Typical centrist bullshit. You’re just putting a bandaid on it

I’m reading @ArthurGoldwag’s new book. The chapter of anti-Catholic hatred is filling in a lots of holes in my understanding of what my fundamentalist folks saw as “Christian persecution.” Mind blown!

“There are many solutions that are just not helpful at all, that do not help an iota for climate and don’t help an iota for air pollution. Among these are direct air capture.” https://t.co/MY8AHs590Q

Fascinating, wide-ranging interview on Trumpism, political conspiracism, and why we have to hold out hope from one of the most thoughtful and knowledgeable people I know. Bravo! @ArthurGoldwag @VintageAnchor

[Chris Howard-Woods @chowardwoods]

Congrats to Arthur Goldwag on his wild, brilliant new book, The Politics of Fear. It’s an extremely timely and engrossing deep dive into the bizarro conspiracist bent of the right, and the eerie and dangerous mainstreaming of what were once fringe views. I learned SO MUCH from it

In 2019, Zac Brettler mysteriously plunged into the Thames from the balcony of a luxury flat in London. Roughly a year later, the prime suspect in Brettler’s case was found dead in the same apartment.

On the cover (!) of the NYTimes Book Review, @blacklionking73’s outstanding essay on Chester Himes’s Harlem Detectives for the luxe Everyman’s Library edition: “He wasn’t just a great Black crime fiction novelist. He was a great novelist.” https://t.co/8FvQXfpNBM

Reminder that Cleopatra lived closer in time to today than to the construction of the pyramids.

Of the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World, the Great Pyramid is by far the oldest - yet the only one still standing.

So what happened to the others...? 🧵

[Chris Howard-Woods @chowardwoods]

In light of @WilliamEgginton’s The Rigor of Angels making the NYT best books list, I have to share John Banville’s astonishing WSJ review (which made me fall out of my chair): “the richness of the book cannot be fully acknowledged in the space of a review” https://t.co/F4RZTlgZ9u

[Chris Howard-Woods @chowardwoods]

@AnnaKrauthamer There’s a lovely passage on lists, more anecdote-rich than critical I would say, in Irene Vallejo’s Papyrus: The Invention of Books in the Ancient World

[Chris Howard-Woods @chowardwoods]

What do Borges, Heisenberg, and Kant have in common? Well, for starters, @WilliamEgginton wrote a “mind-expanding,” “elegantly written” book about them. https://t.co/E2I2nJlQ6b
