We just published the first iteration of the new style for our 'Prompt' format, in which three of our columnists discuss a news event. In this case, Will the nuclear talks with Iran fall apart? With @dmarusic.bsky.social @rezaian.bsky.social and David Ignatius www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/int...

“How do you break the Supreme Court? That’s the whole game right now. And you break it through pressure, through politics,” @dmarusic.bsky.social argues. “Institutions are just beliefs: If you undermine these beliefs enough, it’s over.” wisdomofcrowds.live/p/a-longer-l...

Finally, as this event is happening on MLK Day, here's a link to my interview with @christineemba.bsky.social @dmarusic.bsky.social for the Wisdom of Crowds podcast where we dismantle popular narratives about the man and his campaign (about 40 minutes in): wisdomofcrowds.live/p/the-passio...

Trump is promising Mexico a lot of deported migrants with a side of trade war. How will Mexico handle its neighbor? Check out my conversation with @dmarusic.bsky.social and @leonkrauze.bsky.social about the view from both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border: www.washingtonpost.com/podcasts/imp...

This was a really thought-provoking conversation with @dmarusic.bsky.social and Santiago Ramos for @wisdomofcrowds.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/w...

Unless you're watching football, turn it off for heaven's sakes.

For those going home to visit family this weekend: • Samsung calls it Auto Motion Plus • LG calls it TruMotion • Sony calls it Motionflow • Roku calls it Action Smoothing • Google TV calls it Motion Enhancement • Vizio calls it Smooth Motion Effect.

Bluesky's handles are really unpleasant to look at. Hopefully those will be masked at some point...?

One way to understand ATACMS allowance is that Ukraine is in a far more desperate situation than is being reported.

A friend recently remarked how fascinating it is to watch how democratic verdicts reshape discourse in democracies. No less fascinating is how power does it too.

I have this feeling that Europeans bought into the idea that Trump II would be more mature and normal even more so than many Americans in Washington did.

Bibi bailed out by Hamas.

Watched Z last night. Really well done political thriller, very good snapshot of proto-fascism and how state capture worked ahead of the Colonels’ Coup. And for all of Costa-Gavras’ agitprop in trying to portray the left as merely humanistic, the logic of Greek Cold War dynamics are crystal clear.

When you put it that way, I admire the man.
