I just spent a day doing job interviews with young journalism students at MU and let me please tell you, the kids are alright. There's a tremendous well of idealism, passion and talent to support this industry. The business models are a mess now, but the future leaders are strong

Very good content.

Wow. I am not a Revolutionary War guy by any means. But I read the first page of the Rick Atkinson book and got irreversibly sucked in. I'm 200 pages in now, and it's just stupendous. Narrative historical writing at its finest. amazon.com/Fate-Day-Ticon…

At the KC Current game. Absolutely the best sporting event I’ve ever seen. Amazing crowd. Amazing stadium. Amazing sport.

I'm embarrassed to say I wasn't aware of this slim but magnificent book by Neil Sheehan. I just devoured in my off hours during a reporting trip and *strongly* recommend it. Such powerful reporting and such a moving voice. Give yourself a treat and get it amazon.com/After-War-Was-…

I just wrote a sentence that wasn't at all half-bad. (*takes a bow alone at a desk*)

Barry Lynn, the Godfather of the modern antitrust movement, weighs in the debate about the "Abundance Agenda" in this important essay. This is a fascinating debate within the American Left, and Barry has a lot to add. washingtonmonthly.com/2025/06/01/res…

Explanatory paragraphs should hit like very good, stiff whiskey. With the underlying ingredients being strong, carefully distilled, and well aged over years of rumination.
