No politics whatsoever in this short talk I gave lately to the #AmericanPrecision #Museum in #Windsor, Vermont. It might offer you a little respite from all the sturm und drang going on outside - and the APM is a truly wonderful organisation. https://t.co/CxPKLcvQ0W

This is for non-Americans. You may think the Presidential #Election is just between #Trump and #Harris. Not so fast. Look at the choices on our mail-in ballot, which I’ll fill in once I’ve tweeted this. Oliver and Ter Maat? Or Mr/Ms Ayyadurai? Nothing simple in these parts.

Busy day ahead. 1030am in Norfolk, CT, interviewing on stage the great publisher and author #MichaelKorda, then at 430pm in New Marlborough, MA, the equally distinguished Supreme Court writer #LindaGreenhouse. Then a promised good dinner. Late rising on Sunday, with any luck.

This is an incredible ad by The Lincoln Project narrated by Sam Elliott!

Watch Stephanie Ruhle stuff insufferable, undecided NY Times writer Bret Stephens into a fucking locker on Bill Maher's show.

This is EXCELLENT. 👏👏

My #Hangul is somewhat rusty, but this #Korean edition of my most recent book, just published in #Seoul looks elegant and tempting, so I wish it well in bookstores from #Jeju to the #DMZ, and everywhere in between.

[Thomas Quartermain @T_Quartermain]

Great advertisements of your book, Knowing What We Know, showing up in Korea for the Korean language edition @simonwwriter

To mark the #DemocraticConvention #DNC2024 #DNC we've had fun adapting @Eddy_Grant's gloriously hopeful international anti-apartheid anthem from 1988.

So here's 🎶 "Gimme Hope Kamala" - a parody twist about @KamalaHarris 💙 vs #DonaldTrump 🍊 that pulls no punches.

She just nails it, my agnostic friends.

@StephenTristram @TomBoylesID Kind of you to credit me with writing the great LONGITUDE book that was actually by Dava Sobel. With that memorable slim volume she inaugurated the genre known nowadays as "creative non-fiction" and I merrily traipsed along in her wake!

"When sorrows come, they come not single spies..." A sad day: two dear friends of many years died. Pip Rau - Londoners may recall her Islington shop Rau, selling Afghan treasures - & the formidable Lewis Lapham, late of #Harper's and LQ. When life looks briefly better, this...

It beggars belief that a person so entirely misguided and wanting in common sense as this person should have ever won prominence in US politics. She makes Marjorie Taylor Greene look like an intellectual. May Biden step down, a new candidate win, and sweep these ruffians away.

[Bill Madden @maddenifico]

This is how it's done. This should be required viewing for the American press -- who are still engaging in bothsidesism, balance over objectivity, and false equivalencies. This is how you conduct an interview with a serial lying sociopath like Kari Lake.
