Be careful trying to decipher the true political beliefs of people wrapped in so many layers of irony they're not sure of their own true beliefs

Good moment to re-up one of the best pieces @ellereeve.bsky.social and I ever did at the Atlantic Wire.

An interview with comedian Tim Dillon on how all these comics on YouTube ended up interviewing Republican politicians www.cnn.com/2025/05/19/b...

I'm not personally in favor of us entering the 10th year of endless Trump Safaris, but @ellereeve.bsky.social is uniquely good at doing profiles like this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wsn1...

I'm at the Tucson Festival of Books this beautiful weekend 🌵

From 4Chan to Charlottesville to DOGE. How the far right internet gave birth to the second Trump administration. With the brilliant @ellereeve.bsky.social slate.com/podcasts/wha...

In the latest episode of “Why Is This Happening?, @chrislhayes.bsky.social is joined by @ellereeve.bsky.social, author of “Black Pill: How I Witnessed the Darkest Corners of the Internet Come to Life, Poison Society, and Capture American Politics.” Listen wherever you get your podcasts.

The other thing that surprised me was that so many people really did buy into the idea that Musk is a genius and therefore uniquely qualified to execute Trump's vision bsky.app/profile/elle...

When I visited Nahunta, GA before the election, people told me they thought Trump was for them, not the elites. So we went back to see what they made of Elon Musk. It got heated youtu.be/89aB6SX2y40?...

Everyone needs to read Black Pill by @ellereeve.bsky.social (the author of the screenshotted piece, who is in the trenches covering the worst people on the right): bookshop.org/p/books/blac...

A reminder that this weekend, author @ellereeve.bsky.social will be holding a virtual book club via zoom on my website discussing her new book, Black Pill. www.nytimes.com/2024/07/30/b...

I'm considering having a personality on the internet again. Is this the place to do it?

Funny how people are blaming Musk's Nazi salute on autism In @ellereeve.bsky.social's book 'Black Pill,' she explores how terminally online young men (many on the spectrum) were blackpilled into cyber neo-Nazism And if you're another female #gamedev, you NEED to read her chapter on GamerGate...

Once again I am asking you to read @kateconger.com and @rmac.bsky.social’s Character Limit. And @ellereeve.bsky.social’s Black Pill. Incredibly helpful context for this moment.

Looking for a last-minute gift? Consider my book, Black Pill, the story of the incels and extremists who made the memes and ideas billionaires share today. Too dark for the holidays? Wrong. There are jokes in it www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1982...

It's Craig's birthday

"As her trenchant observations accumulate, the book’s value becomes clear, as does Reeve’s willingness to put herself in harm’s way to chronicle the alienation and hatred animating her subjects." Paul Barrett reviews “Black Pill” by @ellereeve.bsky.social.

"Elle Reeve has guts and she has written a gutsy book." @paulthedogman.bsky.social in @lawfare.bsky.social. @ellereeve.bsky.social www.lawfaremedia.org/article/behi...

My book, Black Pill, was named one of the best nonfiction books of the year by the Washington Post! www.washingtonpost.com/books/2024/1...

Read @ellereeve.bsky.social Black Pill this summer and everything about this last week post election makes even more sense with the information I gained from the book. Its foreshadowing of this moment is disturbing.

Just did a really good Q&A with @ellereeve.bsky.social about her new book BLACK PILL, along with some thoughts about where we are post-Trump shooting.
