https://t.co/5axz7jVwOb
This year I discuss corgis, compute, and Cold War; the Texas State Fair; DSA; Neue Sachlichkeit; disfiguring the physical past and the end of history; Germanic obedience; Antichrist; wisecracks; Pascal��s Wager; romantasy; and croissants.
You will not read anything better today, this week, this month, this year.

Once In A Lifetime: Argentina.
The biggest & best football film (that’s about so much more than football) I’ll probably ever make.
If you think you know the story of that World Cup win in Argentina. Think again.
Congratulations to Saudi Arabia for achieving the bid to host the 2034 World Cup!
