I wish I could take credit for this wonderful line, but it's actually a quotation from Edward Slingerland's new book, Drunk: How We Sipped, Danced, and Stumbled Our Way to Civilization. bookshop.org/books/drunk-ho…

.The Atlantic will move toward voluntary recognition of a new editorial union. We have a large and growing team of truly wonderful journalists and we look forward to working together to build an even better magazine. My note to our staff: theatlantic.com/press-releases…

Wonderful thread from catherine woodiwiss, who distills (sorry) the historical sections of my drinking essay much more effectively than I ever could. (Also be sure to check out Edward Slingerland's new book, Drunk, which a large part of the essay is based on.)

George Packer's new piece is the most complete and convincing explanation I've read of how America arrived in its current state of disunity. Hofstadterian/Lippmanesque in its depth theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…

(1/2) True story: My agent asked me for book ideas. I said I was so inspired by Spiegelman's "Maus" that I wanted to do a graphic novel about the risks of treating Putin like a cartoon villain The result: "Accidental Czar: the Life and Lies of Vladimir Putin" w Brian Box Brown! 👇👇👇

2/ Historians will know more about the decision-making process behind the tragic events. To date, this essay by Andrew S. Weiss & Eugene Rumer best captures Putin's motivation for going into this war. Unfortunately, it turned out to be prophetic. carnegieendowment.org/2021/11/12/ukr…

Please join me Elyse Myers, Jean Twenge (author of 10 RULES, GENERATIONS) & Elsa Majimbo on the Atlantic Festival's Ideas Stage Thursday around 325, either in person or streaming. We’ll discuss what social media is doing to our mental health--and how our mental health can fight back. And we'll laugh a lot.

Elsa Majimbo nails it: "Social media portrays lives that don't exist."
