This past year was not easy. But 2024 certainly was eventful. Joe Biden dropped out of the race at the eleventh hour, and Kamala Harris's swift anointment brought us the joy of Brat summer. There was not one, but two assassination attempts against Donald Trump; the continued wars in Ukraine, Israel, Gaza, and Lebanon; the sudden and surprising fall of the Assad regime in Syria; the murder of a CEO (and Luigi Mania); mystery drones over New Jersey; and finally, Trump's decisive reelection to the White House.  On a cheerier note, 2024 was also the year of breakdancing at the Paris Olympics; Claudine Gay's resignation from Harvard; SpaceX's first commercial spacewalk; and Israel's epic spy-thriller, pager-explosion attack on Hezbollah—not to mention they took out Hezbollah's Hassan Nasrallah and Hamas's Yahya Sinwar as well.  So, what will 2025 bring?  We are starting the year, as we did last December, with a special 2025 predictions episode of Honestly. We called up some friends of the pod—people we trust in their fields—to get a better sense of what's in store for the year ahead.  Political analyst and former spokesperson at the Department of Justice Sarah Isgur tells us what we can expect in the Trump 2.0 White House. Linguist John McWhorter looks at new words and how language will evolve in the coming months. Our very own Suzy Weiss talks us through the cultural calendar. Stylist Leandra Medine clues us in on fashion trends in 2025, and last but not least: Historian Niall Ferguson tells us, as he did last year as well, whether or not we're right to have nightmares about World War III—but for real this time.  Some guests cheered us up, whereas others freaked us out. All of them were a pleasure to talk to. We hope you enjoy these conversations with some of our favorite people.   If you liked what you heard from Honestly, the best way to support us is to go to TheFP.com and become a Free Press subscriber today. *** This show is proudly sponsored by the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE).

Need a break from political programming? Well, today we have a special treat: It's The Free Press's scary movie Halloween special! It's that time of year: changing leaves, pumpkin spice lattes, animal costumes with sex appeal and, of course, gory, bloody, nightmare-inducing horror movies. We all remember the first horror movie that we were allowed to watch—or maybe that we weren't allowed to watch, but saw anyway: Silence of the Lambs, Rosemary's Baby, The Exorcist, The Blair Witch Project, Jaws, Carrie, Halloween, or The Shining. For today's host Suzy Weiss, it was 20 minutes of the movie It—the TV miniseries from 1990, not the 2017 remake. Suzy remembers seeing Pennywise the Clown on the screen and thinking, This will take me years to get over. She still sometimes checks the drain! Year after year, horror movies are consistently profitable—more so than dramas—but they are snubbed when it comes to award shows and critical acclaim. But here at The Free Press, we value and love horror, so much that we've gathered our scariest FP writers—Suzy Weiss, River Page, and Kat Rosenfield—to analyze four new horror movies. River, Kat, and Suzy will review MaXXXine, set in grimy and glamorous 1980s Hollywood, about a night killer who targets a porn star who herself is targeting big-screen stardom. Apartment 7A, a prequel to Rosemary's Baby, about a woman taken in by an unassuming family. Longlegs, a serial killer story about an FBI agent trying to crack the case. And The Substance, about a woman who takes the latest anti-aging elixir, but at a harrowing cost. They talk about what they loved, what they hated, and how they think each movie relates to our current social ills. We'll also note this episode has spoilers, so let this be a warning!

Never before have people felt more comfortable weighing in on other people's lives. What diet to do, what to wear, how to make yourself attractive to the opposite sex, whether or not you should put money into that new crypto coin, if you should let your kids self-soothe, and on and on—but most of it, this endless supply of advice, is actually pretty bad. Weekly popular advice columns, like Dear Abby and Ask E. Jean, have vanished. And in their place is finger-wagging, political posturing, and straight-up bad tips. A New York Times reader sought advice on how to deal with her daughter, who is in a polyamorous relationship with a married man. She wrote, “My daughter tells me she would like to bring this man on our family trip to Greece this year. It may be petty, but I don't want to foot the bill for another woman's husband. And I don't see any way this relationship can lead to my daughter's happiness. Should I lay out my boundaries and risk my daughter not joining me on vacation?” Instead of saying what any sane person would, which is: “Get this man as far away from your daughter as possible,” The New York Times advised the mother to shut up and do better. “This is about respecting your adult daughter's choices. As a show of respect, read up on polyamory before you broach the subject with her.” The thing is, we're in an advice desert, but we've never been in greater need of good advice. Some people consult friends, therapists, or tarot readers when they need direction in life. Other people pray or go to confession. Many people seek the advice of a mentor. But at The Free Press, we like to visit this woman who lives on a hill in Pasadena and makes a mean onion dip. Her name is Caitlin Flanagan. You may have read her writing in The Atlantic, or you may have read her book Girl Land or On Thinking for Yourself. Caitlin is someone who has her finger on the pulse. Whether you're reading her essays, her books, or her Twitter feed, she is just always right. So today, Free Press reporter Suzy Weiss and Atlantic writer Caitlin Flanagan are here to answer your questions about. . . everything, from relationships to politics to children to animals (yes, animals)!

Today, we're thrilled to bring you not Honestly with Bari Weiss, but maybe something even better: Blocked and Reported with Suzy Weiss! If you haven't heard of Blocked and Reported, it's one of my very favorite shows hosted by two of my favorite journalists, Katie Herzog and Jesse Singal. The tagline for the show is “a podcast about internet nonsense,” but that undersells it. Katie and Jesse do a lot of good journalism on this show—it's just swathed in humor and irreverence.  This week, Free Press reporter (and yes, my little sister) Suzy Weiss filled in for Jesse. You'll remember Suzy from the Oberlin episode she reported for Honestly a while back or, more recently, from the 2024 Predictions episode she was on a few weeks ago, where she told us 2024 is going to be the year of “porridge food” and cheating. I'm biased, but anyone familiar with Suzy's work knows that it's funny, gonzo, and feels like something you used to read in an excellent magazine but don't anymore. You'll learn a lot more about her on today's episode, including that she was the subject of controversy when she was a teenager and the freedom that experience gave her down the road. The title of this episode of Blocked and Reported is The Red House on Mississippi—in this case, the Mississippi isn't the river, but a road in Portland. The house has been part of a movement to prevent a black family from eviction. Katie and Suzy also talk about dating while problematic and the spread of polyamory, and Suzy argues in favor of good, old-fashioned cheating—the perfect Valentine's week topics.

Honestly with Bari Weiss ✓ Claim Last year was certainly eventful. 2023 brought spy balloons, Donald Trump's indictments, the coronation of a king, the fall of a crypto prince, and no shortage of chaos in Washington, from the ousting of Kevin McCarthy to the farcical George Santos scandal. Oh and then there's the small matter of two major wars, one in Gaza and one in Ukraine. Plus, ongoing tension between the U.S. and China. On a cheerier note, 2023 was also the year of Barbenheimer, the year when it felt like AI really arrived, and the year when the 90s were finally cool again.   But, as crazy as last year was, will the next twelve months prove that it was actually just the calm before the storm?  For many of us, 2024 begins with a distinct feeling of dread.  The Middle East grows increasingly unstable, the war in Ukraine is not going Kyiv's way, and Xi Jinping's rhetoric gets more bellicose by the day. Here at home, there's the small matter of the election from hell, in which American voters face the unappetizing prospect of once again having to choose between Donald Trump and Joe Biden.  To try and figure out whether things will really be as terrible as we fear, today on Honestly Bari Weiss and FP editor Olly Wiseman are calling up some of our favorite experts to get a better sense of what's coming down the pike.  The great Tyler Cowen looks into the economic crystal ball. Leandra Medine clues us in on fashion trends in 2024. Our very own Suzy Weiss talks through the cultural year ahead. Linguist John McWhorter looks at language. Doctor and longevity expert Peter Attia tells how to start the year healthy. Eagle-eyed political observers Nate Silver and Frank Luntz try to forecast the election. And the historian Niall Ferguson tells us whether we're right to be having nightmares about World War III.  Some guests cheered us up, others freaked us out. All of them were a pleasure to talk to.

She didn't give me a topic so I want to cover an article called: "Tinder Generation Can't Find Love" written by Kim Hirsch on the Victory Girls Blog and here's the short version of what her article has to say and I quote: "Suzy Weiss is a 27-year-old journalist and she's very lonely. She wonders why Tinder and other apps like it have failed members of her generation. Suzy claims in an article called “Generation Swipe,” that “Tinder promised it would revolutionize romance.” So far, however, it appears to have failed not only her, but her peers as well. And she wonders why. Her first paragraph reads: “Every generation thinks they have it the hardest when it comes to finding love, but it's hard to look at mine and conclude that we don't have a good case. Never before have young people been having so little sex …” Men want to marry good girls. Trouble is, however, that now lots of men don't want to get married. And some, notes Weiss, don't even want to have sex, believe it or not: “By the time my parents were my age, so the meme goes, they had a house and two kids. A lot of men in my generation aren't even having sex.” So what happened with Tinder? Weiss points her finger at Mark Zuckerberg and Steve Jobs and blames them which is odd, considering that Jobs died before dating apps became big. But she places the biggest blame just like every younger generation does: at the feet of the parents. She says that these “snowplow” parents failed to teach their children to be resilient: “When you're raised in a world perpetually protected from skinned knees, you tend to be scared of running fast.” She also blames the Metoo movement beucase it's for men to know how to interact with women let that they aren't even dating. Jordan Peterson says that Tinder encourages predatory men, and puts women at risk. What he means is Chads will exploit the hope of commitment from naive whamen. Weiss write: the reality is that some are getting thrown into the discount bin, while others are being marked up and set on the highest shelf. Comments flowed in to Suzy Weiss's article, many from older adults who simply advised people to get off the screens, dump Tinder, and just get out into the world. Like a 59-year-old father who's been married for 30 years: “Get out there, and meet people. his advice is get off the phones, and go make some mistakes with real people. Correcting the mistakes is part of the fun, and people will respect you in REAL life.” Yet another man noted that “Chastity until marriage, fidelity until death” can WORK.” Feminism, the sexual revolution, hookup culture — things I wrote about last month — have not provided the liberation they advertised. Want to Meet Your Soulmate? Get Thee To a Church! “My wife introduced a couple at our synagogue one Shabbat morning. That turned into a very successful relationship.” unquote. This article is hilarious because you know you're going to take dating advice from a 59 year old boomer that hasn't been on a date in 30 years.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/mgtow/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

It's the second ever special guest episode of A Special Place In Hell! This week, journalist Suzy Weiss visits the pod, not only fulfilling Sarah's call for a Gen Z guest but also sharing her insights from her recent Common Sense article Generation Swipe. Suzy explains what a decade of dating app culture has done to the psyches and future plans (or lack thereof) for millennial and Gen Z-ers. It is depressing out there, but Suzy is optimistic. (A welcome change from nihilistic Sarah.)Suzy also talks about what it's like being the sister of one of the most beloved and vilified figures in media, Bari Weiss. Then, in bonus content that's available to everyone this week (YOU ARE WELCOME), Sarah and Meghan talk about Suzy behind her back for a few minutes before reading and discussing a blog post about women can live their best lives. (Hint: a little bit of plastic surgery goes a long way ladies!)However, as usual the comment section (often more thoughtful than the podcast) is available ONLY to paying subscribers, so pony up!

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Staying Split: Sabatini and Social Justice, published by Duncan Sabien on June 8, 2022 on LessWrong. Author's note: This is a contemporary post about an ongoing current event. It's not a timeless essay in the way that most of my essays are, though it does contain insight and thoughts on timeless topics. Background David Sabatini is a molecular biologist, previously employed as a tenured professor at MIT and a lead researcher at the Whitehead Institute. He was fired in August of 2021, after which most of his professional connections quickly dried up. He was almost restored to good standing in April of 2022 via a new position at NYU, but protests and external pressure caused NYU to withdraw their offer. I shared a one-sided piece about Sabatini on Facebook, asking for people to falsify it. I was given various links and documents in response. I spent about five hours following up on sources, looking for original information, and trying to piece together a coherent take. It proved to be impossible, and it proved to be impossible in a way that I think is interesting, and relevant to a lot of questions about how our culture functions (or doesn't). This essay is my attempt to digest and debrief, essentially writing to myself. Why was Sabatini fired and blacklisted? Option A: Because he engaged in romantic/sexual misconduct in conflict with the policies of his workplace, and created a hostile and sexualized environment that made work difficult or impossible for many of his subordinates. Option B: Because a vindictive former lover enacted a revenge plot, partially enabled by an ideologue in the org's power structure who was looking for any pretext to shake things up. Option C (for 'cynical'): Because scandal is costly regardless of whether it's grounded in fact, and there are a large number of highly-motivated people who have concentration of force against groups like MIT or NYU when it comes to highly charged questions like putative sexual misconduct. If you buy reports like that of Suzy Weiss, the timeline looks something like this: Sabatini runs a world-class, cutting-edge lab without any complaints or issues for two and a half decades. At a conference in Maryland in 2018, Sabatini hooks up with Kristin Knouse, a cancer researcher in her own right, 21 years his junior. They mutually establish some ground rules for their relationship, with Kristin in particular insisting that it remain open and low-key so she can carry on with other preexisting flings. They keep the romantic connection fairly quiet, and meet up a handful of times, ending by July of 2018 (mostly due to Sabatini drawing away). In August 2018, the Whitehead Institute adopts a no-tolerance policy for romantic relationships between lab heads (like Sabatini) and colleagues (like Knouse). Under previous policy, a relationship like theirs would have been in a grey area; now it would be straightforwardly forbidden. However, Sabatini considers the romantic phase of the relationship already over (and therefore believes there's no problem). Neither of them mention anything to HR. Sabatini and Knouse exchange occasional comms (a burst in late 2018 when Sabatini has a cancer scare, a burst in January 2020 where they have an argument about their relationship, a burst in April 2020 where things seem calmer and they commiserate about COVID isolation). In late 2020, feminist ideologue Ruth Lehmann takes over as the director of the Whitehead Institute with an explicit goal of cleaning house and breaking up boys' clubs; she takes complaints from Knouse and runs with them. Exerting pressure from the top, Lehmann elicits two more complaints, which is sufficient pretext to hire a law firm of prosecutorial lawyers who then relentlessly grill the lab staff until they have enough cherry-picked and out-of-context anecdotes to weave t...

Suzy Weiss has fast become one of my favorite reporters. Her latest story, on her sister Bari’s Substack, about a baseless #MeToo accusation that got totally out of control, is a doozy. So is her recent reporting on trans swimmer Lea Thomas and on youth gender transition.I had a fun chat with Suzy about each of those stories on my podcast. Hope you’ll give it a listen. This is a public episode. If you’d like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit leightonwoodhouse.substack.com/subscribe

When she competed on the men's team, she was seeded no. 462 in the NCAA. Now, she's seeded No. 1 and expected to beat Olympic gold medalist Katy Ledecky, widely considered one of the greatest female swimmers of all time, later this month at the NCAA championship. Thomas won't stop there. She recently told Sports Illustrated that she has her sights set on the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. What does the rise of Lia Thomas mean for the future of women's sports?

In the latest episode of Take Back Our Schools, Bethany and Andrew interview political strategist and father of three, Rory Cooper, about the recent election of Glenn Youngkin as Virginia's new governor. We discuss Rory's experiences organizing parents against Covid school closures and the role that parents played in the recent election. Bethany and Andrew also talk about the enormous damage Covid policies are doing to our children and discuss whether the new “Omicron” variant will shut down schools again. This is the third installment of this series. Episode 1 introduces the series and Episode 2 featured journalist Suzy Weiss about her two recent pieces for Bari Weiss's Common Sense Substack.

Bethany and Andrew interview journalist Suzy Weiss about her two recent pieces for Bari Weiss's Common Sense Substack. We discuss Suzy's reporting on how young woke women are eschewing having babies and even getting sterilized, many under the guise of social justice. We also talk about the proliferation of the homeschooling movement in America due to the broadening dissatisfaction with the public school system.

Today, a number of young American women are pursuing the stuff of dystopian novels: the prospect of a childless future. These young women don't just choose to avoid motherhood—they actively embrace that choice as a marker of their identity. Some embrace the label “child-free,” with the implication that they don't want to have children themselves but are okay with other people doing so, while others are positively “anti-natalist”—they don't want to have children and they also think that it's immoral for anyone else to do so. Many of these women have even turned to surgical procedures to ensure they will never become mothers.  It's difficult to estimate how large this group is, but it's likely quite small. Nevertheless, despite its small size, it reveals something about American culture and its attitude toward the tradeoffs of family. What is it like to see the world as someone who is ideologically committed to not having children?  This week, the writer Suzy Weiss joins the show to discuss a recent article of hers that tries to answer that question. In conversation with Mosaic editor Jonathan Silver, she explains how the child-free think, what motivates them, and what their existence says about mainstream American society. Musical selections in this podcast are drawn from the Quintet for Clarinet and Strings, op. 31a, composed by Paul Ben-Haim and performed by the ARC Ensemble.

Sterilization is not something you often hear about women choosing, but that may be changing. The recent piece “First Comes Love. Then Comes Sterilization.” by Suzy Weiss on the "Common Sense With Bari Weiss" Substack tells the story of four women who have been, or plan to be, sterilized. For reasons including past trauma or not wanting a child to experience suffering, the women in the article have not only decided to not have kids, but want to ensure that they can't have kids. Suzy Weiss reports this phenomenon is taking place while birth rates continue to fall across America. A record number of 25 states reported more deaths than births in 2020, according to a study by the University of New Hampshire. Why are so few women choosing to have children and what are the implications of that choice? We seek to answer these questions on this edition of the “Problematic Women” podcast. Also on today's show, we discuss remarks by former President Barack Obama claiming parents' concerns over what is happening in schools is “fake outrage.” Plus, Twitter has suspended Rep. Jim Banks, R-Ind., for tweeting that Rachel Levine is a man. And as always, we'll be crowning our "Problematic Woman of the Week."Enjoy the show!
