Donald Trump’s Attack on Online Censorship Is a Distraction
Donald Trump has claimed that he will disempower content moderators and put an end to the “left-wing censorship.” We shouldn’t overstate the importance of such moves. Material inequality, not online discourse, explains liberalism’s defeat.

Everything You Always Wanted to Know about QAnon But Were Too Weirded Out to Ask
Much of the news these days is unhinged, but nothing can compare, in terms of pure lunacy, with QAnon.

Michael Bloomberg Isn’t Going Anywhere
