Today is #January9, 2026.
I just wanted to let you know that I am almost done with reading @colinwoodard.bsky.social's book #NationsApart, a sequel to his 2011 book #AmericanNations.
If you have read either of these books, what are your thoughts on Woodard's theories?

This is aiming for a higher degree of resolution than the "dominant regional cultures of North America" in #AmericanNations and, broadly speaking, ain't bad. I think it captures some things very well, but misses a few really important, domain-level distinctions and continuities.

1. I argue that, in #AmericanNations (First Effective Settlement) terms, the "Midwest" is really the western portions of 3-4 culture regions. But if you must create one, this isn't terrible.

Untested Hypothesis: a New Netherland effect at work here. #AmericanNations
Columbia’s cave-in, Cuomo’s polling, the top-to-bottom corruption of Adams’ mayoralty: a good post earlier talked about the collapse of civic virtue in the U.S., but it’s worth suggesting that there’s something lacking regarding civic virtue and civil society in New York _specifically_.
Columbia fumbled the ball big time.
