America is giving decaying strip mall energy. But I will still go to the Sbarro's in the food court and hit up the Dippin' Dots stand, though. And get some Cotton Candy Baskin-Robbins Ice Cream while the fun lasts.

The U.S. is giving dying mall vibes. I can't explain it, but you know I'm right.

Found this 2019 clip from 100 days after Jamal Khashoggi was killed. I was asked by @glamour.com@bsky.brid.gy’s Sam Barry what I would say to Mohammed Bin Salman if I had the chance to face him again (I have met him twice). Here was my answer. https://porcini.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:iiofy6mupgapoiz2b3lgfyr7&cid=bafkreih26jzs75n3o5iig2urclxr7q7sri4boji6gnyas7yopt7yvhda24

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered. He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here : www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/glo... Opinion | Jamal Khashoggi: Wha...

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com@bsky.brid.gy journalist Jamal Khashoggi. I hired and worked with Jamal for a year. www.washingtonpost.com/world/nation... CIA concludes Saudi crown prin...

Someone asked if I have been shadowbanned on here, because they haven’t seen my posts for weeks. I am not shadowbanned, I’ve just been quiet on socials and substack. I’ve focusing on teaching and navigating the fallout from my firing from @washingtonpost.com — it’s been psychologically hard.

Strength training is political. We have a right-wing which has taken over physical fitness spaces, and hijacked “warrior culture”. We need a muscular progressivist visions. We need to be strong to build the world we want. Building my guns for the revolution. 💪🏾✊🏾 #Swoletariat #ResistanceTraining” https://porcini.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:iiofy6mupgapoiz2b3lgfyr7&cid=bafkreihxk6ookxq2g44kr7sy4qwzdxtdfx3putgqzps7tzoosxrfddkw3a
