I wrote about Bernie and AOC in Tucson for @NewYorker.
At the “Fight Oligarchy” tour stop in Arizona, Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez hammered home a single message: the government has been taken hostage by a cabal of billionaires, and the only way to wrest it back is by unifying the working class.

Lots of gratitude to @latimesfob and @IsherwoodFdn —it's a very good time to revisit The Berlin Stories, Journey to a War, Christopher and His Kind, and all of Isherwood's writing.

I'm so happy to share this news, especially because Isherwood is one of my favorite writers and one whose work was on my mind when writing Health and Safety.

I wrote about a multigenerational family in Altadena who lost their homes.
In a historically Black community near Pasadena, generations of families found affordable housing and a deep sense of connection. After the devastating fires, many wonder whether they’ll be able to rebuild what they’ve lost.

Every time I read about Microsoft wanting to open nuclear power plants I think about how they can’t make functioning word processing software.
Do any magazines want to form some kind of consortium to oppose the radical enshittification of Microsoft Word
