The life and family I have now simply would not exist without that abortion. I would not have started a relationship with Andrew, and I would not have...

I Talked to Elon Musk about Journalism and the Blood Emeralds Story

I Talked to Elon Musk about Journalism and the Blood Emeralds Story

“If people are going to dislike me, I’d prefer they do so for what I’ve actually done.” I reckon this stance is something like a decoder ring to Elon’s relationship with both the press and all those who’ve outsourced their judgment about him in that direction.

Larger deals can take longer to close; smaller...

Among today’s seniors, “whites” still dominate; but among children, “non-whites” are now a very clear majority. The debate about when exactly America will become a majority-minority country moves around a bit in the projections, but it’s...
