Companies want to survive, people want to keep their jobs, and few think it's worth going down for this guy.
You knew they were going to run. You knew they were going to find a way to survive when it all imploded. All the cubicle-incarcerated, gray people of the business universe. They were never going to go down with somebody else's ship. This moment was foretold back in 2019, when Michael Cohen, the former president*'s onetime fixer, told the House Oversight Committee that El Caudillo del Mar-a-Lago regularly engaged in creative accounting in the course of whatever business he was pretending to do at the time. Up to 50% off the cast iron pots, pans, and Dutch ovens you've been dying to add to your kitchen top shelf. The ring-shaped earbuds are so light and comfy, you might never take them off.  Moon Witch, Spider King is the second volume in Marlon James' outstanding Dark Star Trilogy, which began unforgettably with 2019's National Book Award-nominated Black Leopard, Red Wolf. In this ambitious new installment, James masterfully flips the first's plot on its head, probing the distance between two versions of the same events to ask powerful questions about truth, history, and storytelling. Sogolon the Moon Witch, the legendary adversary who tangled with bounty hunter Tracker during his search for a vanished child in Black Leopard, Red Wolf, now takes center stage to share her own account of the boy's disappearance. But Sogolon's recollection sends her careening back into the past, from her hard-scrabble childhood as "a girl of little use" to her fateful arrival as a handmaiden in the royal court, where she makes a powerful enemy. As Black Leopard, Red Wolf prepares for the small screen treatment, courtesy of Michael B. Jordan, the Dark Star Trilogy continues to amaze readers, packed with riveting tales of empire, adventure, and power. James spoke with Esquire to discuss his process of designing fantasy novels that both subvert and embrace the genre. There are many mighty fine deals to be found come February 21—and right now, for that matter. For carrying around just cash, there's nothing better. A few weeks ago, I read an essay in The Atlantic by an Ivy League professor suggesting that universities going remote now is a "wrong decision" since we have entered a "post-vaccine" era. It was upsetting. To say the least. Sitting frustrated in my living room after I finished the essay, I tweeted, "I have an article pitch: 'The Atlantic Needs Articles Written by Professors with Large Course Loads at Universities with Few Resources and a Large Population of Students that are not Super Wealthy." My dismay stemmed from two painful facts: First, the media routinely favors voices of Ivy League and other elite university faculty as representative of academia at large. The experiences of faculty and graduates of wealthy institutions are regularly presented and promoted as the norm in academia instead of the exceptions that they are. Second, because no academic speaks for all of academia, the conclusions of such pieces can be misleading or, in the case of discussions about Covid, dangerous. |
