It's good to have a TV show to get home in time for. My piece on slower, more intentional living and the joy of The Traitors

It’s time we slowed down and reclaimed real TV
Regular shows like The Traitors offer gentle punctuation to life, rather than another task to squeeze in

I think the White House badly underestimates the strength of the pan-European folk memory of 1930s appeasement, and how deep it still cuts. I suppose this is what happens when you learn in school that WW2 started in 1941 in Hawaii.

I wrote this last year on Five Eyes, the world’s deepest intelligence relationship.
Cooperation is so built in that none of the countries really have working global signals intelligence if it collapses. That risk looked distant last March. Given Greenland, it now looks distinctly more possible.

Can Five Eyes survive the Signal scandal?
Even before the Atlantic’s revelations, the Trump administration had put the intelligence network at risk

Overdue, but I finally deleted Twitter. Whatever conveniences it creates for work can't be worth proliferation of hate...

I’m a journalist in a film. I have a staff job and all my interviews are in person
Hello, I'm a copyeditor in a film. Just kidding, copyeditors don't appear in films; I'm a blurry extra typing busily in a weirdly well-lit "cool" office as the heroine walk-and-talks past.
Hello, I'm a historian in a film. I am teaching a college course in American history, and for a lecture midway through the semester I have written the words "Spanish-American War," "New Deal," and "17th Amendment" on the chalkboard, and nothing else.
