I'm glad! I'm not here to ruin anyone else's delight.

Same. I sit there expectantly and I never laugh.

Breaking — Will Lewis out at the Washington Post. He just sent this email to staff (shared with me by staffer):

All - after two years of transformation at The Washington Post, now is the right time for me to step aside. I want to thank Jeff Bezos for his support and leadership throughout my tenure as CEO and Publisher. The institution could not have a better owner.

During my tenure, difficult decisions have been taken in order to ensure the sustainable future of The Post so it can for many years ahead publish high-quality nonpartisan news to millions of customers each day.

With gratitude, Will

You wake up one morning and look in the bathroom mirror and discover that the air quotes around "old" fell off while you were sleeping. Anyway, happy weekend, everybody!

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialFeb 7(source)

You definitely want to learn to stop saying, "I am SO OLD!" long before the people to whom you're saying it just look at you in response with expressions that say, "I mean...yes."

In honor of the impending demise of the mass-market paperback, here's a little grid I pulled from my shelves. (Yes, I do read women authors too. In nicer editions, obviously.)

Please take the time to read this superb @jamellebouie.net column. It establishes a baseline of truth for anyone who wants to think, talk, and write honestly about Trump. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/07/o...

Let’s walk back to where we started. What motivates Trump? The answer is simple: racism. You might also say ego and raw self-interest, but the two are connected. Racism, among other things, is a kind of chauvinism, a belief in one’s inherent superiority, based on nothing other than a meaningless accident of birth. It’s an ideology that papers over feelings of inadequacy, that tells you that — no matter what you have or have not accomplished in your life — you’re still better than someone, some group.

Let’s suppose you’re the spoiled son of a self-made man. Let’s suppose that, despite your flash and bravado, you’ve failed at virtually everything you’ve tried. You’re the laughingstock of polite society, a punchline for the privileged. You think you’re superior enough to be the president of the United States — the highest honor in your country — but the actual president is a man of humble origins, a minority of the kind your family didn’t even rent to when you were in the landlord business. And he is claiming power that rightfully belongs to you. He’s even mocking you, ridiculing you for all the world to see.

For years, a cottage industry of political observers has contorted itself to obscure and occlude the obvious. That regardless of what others see in him, Trump’s entire political career — from his embrace of birtherism to his hatred of birthright citizenship — cannot be understood outside the context of his bitter, deep-seated racism.

Here is the video of Hakeem Jeffries saying "fuck Donald Trump" for posting that racist video of the Obamas. (originally from his official Instagram account) www.instagram.com/reel/DUbeoy5...

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialFeb 6(source)

White House press corps, I know some of you are shy, so let me help you get started. This isn't fifty questions--I could only fit twenty-one in alt text--but let me know if you need more!

Did you know that Trump himself had not posted the video when you defended it?
Why would you accuse people who were offended by a racist video of lying about their reactions?
What percentage of Trump's Truth Social posts are made by someone else?
What percentage of Trump's Truth Social posts are made without his knowledge?
How many people aside from Trump have access to his social media account?
Who are those people?
Which of Trump's other Truth Social posts were posted by someone else?
How can anyone be sure that posts under Trump's name come from Trump?
Why should anyone believe that this particular post did not come from Trump since it is consistent with his well-reported history of racist remarks and conduct?
If people can't be sure any post is his, why should anyone take any post under his name either literally or seriously?
What was the impulse for the staffer to make that post?
Has the staffer been disciplined in any way?
Will the staffer continue to have access to his account?
What does it say about Trump's judgment that he would choose a staffer with this kind of judgment to have access to his account?
Is the anonymous staffer a hastily invented concoction to which you pivoted once you realized that the story was going to outgrow your attempts to dismiss it?
How do you react to the almost universal condemnation of the post?
The President's late-night posting sprees are filled with lapses in taste and judgment as well as threats and pronouncements that go nowhere. What does that say about the President's emotional stability?
What does it say about the President's honesty?
What does it say about the President's credibility?
Hasn't your own credibility been damaged by your defense of something widely seen as indefensible?
What does it say about you that you were comfortable not only defending the video but attacking those who were offended by it?
Doesn't the amount of lying Trump does, and that you do for him, undermine your ability to be trusted on anything?

Well, I have about fifty followup questions for Leavitt.

To recap the White House's official position, the racist video was posted erroneously by a staffer and they took it down, but even if it was posted on purpose, the outrage would have been fake because the post was fine and inspired by the Lion King

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialFeb 6(source)

People targeted by racist invective are under no obligation to say or do anything. Not even the Obamas. This is not their problem; it is ours.

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialFeb 6(source)

Karoline Leavitt, a racist, has called the reaction to the video "fake outrage." It is now the job of decent people to demonstrate to her that there is nothing fake about it.

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialFeb 6(source)

Racism has been central to Trump and his movement since he came down the escalator. He is a racist. His people are racists. His defenders are racists. His supporters are racists. His party is a party of racists. If they want to disprove that, they can. But it's important to know they don't want to.

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialFeb 6(source)

That may have been the moment.

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialFeb 6(source)

I am a man of years and taste and perspective who does not indulge in something as crass and vulgar as a reality-celebrity crush. That said, Rob on The Traitors.

I am tired of writing posts that essentially serve as obituaries for decency, quality, and merit. I hope we all survive long enough to write obituaries for the other stuff.

Just wanted to salute, one more time, The Washington Post books section. I was fortunate to have all three of my books reviewed by the Post and I always knew they were in the hands of expert and experienced writers and editors. It was an honor.
