Very excited about Franklin Foer’s book. Join us.

I spoke to Megan Rapinoe about the disgusting Spanish federation president, the backlash against USWNT, her missed penalty kick, and what she'll miss about the World Cup. theatlantic.com/culture/archiv…

Spain’s performance in the Women’s World Cup has been a tremendous sporting victory, and a thrashing of the idea that the women’s game lacks the technical ability of the men’s, Franklin Foer writes: theatlantic.com/culture/archiv…

The obstacles to women’a soccer in most of the world are grotesque and immense. I’m rooting for a team that survived wage theft, systemic sexual assault—and plays electric football. theatlantic.com/culture/archiv…

Now that the U.S. is out of the Women’s World Cup, every neutral fan of goodwill should fervently support Colombia, Franklin Foer writes: theatlantic.com/culture/archiv…

My grand theory of why the U.S. has been so mediocre at this World Cup... theatlantic.com/culture/archiv…

'Study any dysfunction in American economic life long enough—runaway health-care costs, baby-formula shortages, regional inequality—and you’re likely to find corporate concentration among the causes.' Franklin Foer bit.ly/3rydVDS

This week, the Biden administration very quietly published a manifesto for a counterrevolution.... theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

'The doppelgänger doesn’t just stalk Levy’s protagonist; it stalks the entirety of her work.'

Franklin Foer is excellent on Deborah Levy and what defines her oeuvre.

I wrote about Elizabeth Gilbert's feckless response to criticism--and the bad precedent it sets. theatlantic.com/books/archive/…

That time Sigmund Freud put Woodrow Wilson on the couch. I wrote about the strange life and after-life of one of the most fascinating biographies of an American president. theatlantic.com/books/archive/…

A great read on the New Washington Consensus: the US economy must not be hyper-dependent on trade policies that leave it vulnerable to disruptions in supply chains—whether from pandemics, wars, or countries who wish us ill. ⁦Franklin Foer⁩ theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

Penguin just announced the pub date for my behind-the-curtain book about Afghanistan, Ukraine, the rise and fall and rise of transformative legislation, and a president who is far more fascinating than assumed. penguinrandomhouse.com/books/534055/t…

Earlier this year, I wrote a defense of gerontocracy. Then Dianne Feinstein discredited my argument. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

I reviewed Sarah Bakewell’s new book—and wrote about the limitations of humanism. theatlantic.com/books/archive/…

'The gravedigger was the human wreckage of the war. Like some mythological figure, he seemed fixed to the landing in front of the church, doomed to spend his days telling and then retelling his story to visitors,' Franklin Foer writes: on.theatln.tc/2t6nAun

On the first anniversary of the war, I wrote about the saddest man I've ever met--and the victims of Russian war crimes he buried. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
