Trump and Evangelical Christianity
Spitalfields Life at the 134th Italian Parade in Clerkenwell
Scott Alexander's review of Red Plenty by Francis Spufford, a book about the Soviet economy focusing on how central planning was supposed to work and why it didn't.
Anti-Wokeness on the Dirtbag Left.
Ross Douthat on Marianne Williamson. (And on the new Paganism more broadly here.)
Did slavery make white Americans better off?
The original manuscript of the Marquis de Sade's 120 Days of Sodom has been declared a National Treasure of France.
Can an intellectual love America?
Two interviews with Eric Kaufman about his book Whiteshift, which says white nationalist politics is entirely about increased immigration: New Yorker, Tyler Cowen.
Website of the week: No Brash Festivity. For me a Tumblr like this is the best way to appreciate 20th-century art. There is no push to engage or understand, just a parade of images that grab you or don't, and if something intrigues you then just search for more somewhere else.
Tomorrow I'm heading off for a week in Maine, so don't expect much except pictures of scenery until I get back.
