"What is most discomforting about Lynch is not his foregrounding of abuse, venality or the general rot that gnaws away at the edges of America’s middle-class, white-picket-fence fantasies. It is his profound—and profoundly unfashionable—moral seriousness." newrepublic.com/article/190343…

I wrote about my theory that INDUSTRY is set in actual, literal Hell. On HBO's damned souls, distressed assets, and the shades of 25 years of prestige TV. For @newrepublic newrepublic.com/article/186251…

Remember when Disney claimed a man signed his wife's life away when he got a trial of Disney+? Uber is trying the same thing. A kid placed an order on Uber eats, and now a judge is saying the parents can't sue Uber over a car crash. news.bloomberglaw.com/litigation/kid…

"Amber Thurman waited in pain, worried about what would happen to her 6-year-old son, as doctors monitored her infection spreading, her blood pressure sinking and her organs beginning to fail. It took 20 hours for doctors to finally operate. By then, it was too late."

Like the MI5, AppleTV+ is an elite counterintelligence service. They’ve been running a covert op called SLOW HORSES for 4 seasons, and you might not even know it exists. For @newrepublic I wrote about the best secret show on TV. newrepublic.com/article/185489…

Full bleed back cover author portraits were once a thing — and still have the power to reach us, even after the author has gone: — John le Carré (1979) and Susan Sontag (1968)

Rachel Kushner's spy wins trust the way Joan Didion did as a reporter: by making herself so “unobtrusive” that her subjects “forget that my presence runs counter to their best interests.” newrepublic.com/article/185282…

“The acquisition of secret knowledge is one of the central pleasures of the spy novel, and Kushner works several unusual varieties of such knowledge into the novel’s propulsive plot.” newrepublic.com/article/185282…
