Another media entity decides to end any real debate in its pages. Bezos first made the WaPo an unreadable woke propaganda outfit and now ends what little diversity of opinion there was within the paper to an exclusively socially-liberal-fiscally-conservative niche, which is increasingly rare even among elites.

David absolutely right to quit. Bezos has no idea of what a newspaper is supposed to do.

Complete batshit lunacy on the president's Truth Social account. Yes, he really posted this.

Notable given that Elon has a -50 approval rating (!) in Europe versus only -10 in the US. To the extent his politics are hurting TSLA sales, you’d expect to see it there first.

This is the index for First Take, my short-form review series.

Named after the sports show of the same name, First Take is where I give my (relatively) initial thoughts on a work of fiction that I’ve completed reading, watching, etc.

Originally, I did First Take on Twitter. But I feel like I’m not really getting much traction. Some people would like it but then it would be forgotten by tomorrow. I’m hoping by doing this on Substack Notes, I’ll get some real engagement.

Also, I can’t help but see the writing on the wall for Twitter as we know it. But I digress.

My early episodes (Ep. Zero to III) will still be on Twitter while the rest will be on Substack.

Nota Bene: The stories which are still ongoing will have an asterisk next to its name.
