    In this conversation--joined by Jay Caspian Kang of The New Yorker and Time To Say Goodbye, and about 7,000 confused viewers expecting discussion of Venezuela--we talked:
    Trump’s comments on Rob Reiner (covered by Ganz here)
    The fever-dream of rumor and conspiracy emerging on Twitter/X in the wake of the mass shooting at Brown University (and what’s changed from the panic that set in after the Boston Marathon bombing)
    Jacob Savage’s Compact magazine piece about white men in Hollywood and the media
    Charlotte Klein’s New York magazine piece about Bari Weiss.
    We also fought with a number of commenters on the livestream who arrived via a misleading Substack app push notification. Enjoy!
