Great article that's too long and too high brow for Americans to read and understand

As Passover begins, I am reposting my open letter to Elon Musk. I wrote it in response to his attacks on me and his suggestion that I suffer from “generational trauma.” It has been the most viral piece I have ever written and I continue to be moved by the positive feedback.

My eighth wife. Don’t judge me. Don’t assume. St Patrick’s day was our 11th anniversary. She’s the only person who supports me besides my daughter and my niece

Last weekend in Chicago, 1500 historians gathered for the Organization of American Historians' conference where leading scholars discussed little things like, oh, the fate of democracy. I guess if we add some horny Nazis next year maybe CNN will come out and listen to what we have to say?
