A very hearty thank you to @davidplotz and @jdickerson for letting me fill in for Emily on @SlateGabfest today! I learned, I laughed, I lightly slandered one of my co-hosts. (The latter for @SlatePlus subscribers only.) Link here: https://t.co/BwEhqPbkOF

Did an @SlateGabfest special for the Trump indictment! Will he be handcuffed? How will the politics play out?

The indictment is still sealed, but the implications for presidential politics and history are already coming to light.

Really really boisterous @SlateGabfest this week, notably because my brother @plotznik explained the decline in humanities majors. Also our loan forgiveness SCOTUS discussion was spicy!

We may never know the origins of Covid-19.

Aw thanks Chris!
Thank you @CityCastMadison for interviewing all of the WI Supreme Court candidates that would sit for an interview. As a relatively new Wisconsin resident I found that extraordinarily helpful! Thanks @davidplotz for starting City Cast and pointing me to it through @SlateGabfest

This week on @SlateGabfest: Anne Applebaum on the year of war on Ukraine; the smoking gun Fox News text messages; and Section 230 at the Supreme Court.

This was EXTREMELY fun, especially Claudia's extremely thin skin about Portlandia.
Usually, on the show, host Claudia Meza asks the questions. But today, @davidplotz, CEO of City Cast and co-host of @SlateGabfest, is joining us and interviewing Claudia about Portland. 🎧 https://t.co/d31hSmvGZf

It's been a joy working with @LisaGray_HouTX for the second time in my career. We will miss you at City Cast, Lisa, and the @ChronOpinion folks are lucky to have you.
My news: Starting 1/30, I'll be back at the Houston Chronicle, this time as op-ed editor. I'll miss @CityCastHouston — but I'm excited about working with the @ChronOpinion crew.
