To get in touch with the Real America, I'm here at a diner in rural Ohio on journalistic assignment with The New Yorker. Next to me is an alienated, hard-working woman on assignment from the Atlantic and a crusty father of 4 on assignment from Harper's.

Shoutout to whoever had the idea to remix The Who’s “Love, Reign O’er Me” for the trailer for the new Hunger Games movie. Gets me every time

Here is a small sampling of the most overt racism from Bo French, who was just hosted by Lakepointe Church. Related: Supporting racism is among the things that can get churches booted from the Southern Baptist Convention, of which Lakepointe is a member.
Replying to @bofrench
An honor to have you and meet you 🤝

This is a quote about this from my interview with Javier Bardem.
Jane Schoenbrun talking about how we go watch revolutions in movies and then go home and do nothing & moderator clocking that’s the plot of digger and Jane saying “unfortunately it is the plot of digger”

Christianity Today has seen about half its staff quit or laid off in the last 14 mos. Former employees told me that new business leaders have intervened in editorial decisions & are effectively abandoning the outlet's commitment to independent journalism. nytimes.com/2026/10/21/us/ch…

My biggest hot take on Christians and art is low church + evangelical christians retain too much of a black and white mindset. Narnia and LOTR could never be written by someone in that context, and nothing on their level ever will be

Horror is, perhaps unexpectedly, one of the most Christian genres of films. Now, a caveat is that most of what gets made today is aesthetically gross and filthy, but the central ideas of horror are often deeply Christian themes: the reality of evil, the inescapability of judgement, supernatural malevolence, the desire for evil to destroy that which is pure , and ultimately the triumph of righteousness and light over evil.

Second day of major voting machine outages in the Como neighborhood of west Fort Worth. I bet all the machines in Southlake are working just fine.

Anecdotal, but I’ve early voted in every Texas election since the 2000 presidential election and I’ve never seen lines like I’m seeing today. And these are mid terms!

Blogged about Matthew McConaughey's deeply exhausting schtick of saying a whole lot about absolutely nothing and also sort of bizarrely plugging Joe Manchin's new think tank: chron.com/culture/article/ma…

I think movies should go back to having villains that are actually evil
New trailer for ‘STEPS’. The film follows Cinderella’s evil stepsisters who are actually depicted as kind & misunderstood. Releasing November 20 on Netflix.

I’m told Trump was embarrassed by the coverage of Zacharia’s briefing and when he polled other aides about her, Zacharia had few allies willing to stand up for her or defend her performance. The main reason he rushed to select her after growing irritated with how long the process was taking to replace Karoline Leavitt was because he wanted more people defending him on TV. When she failed to do so in a sufficient way with Sean Hannity, Trump said he knew she needed to go.
