“How does it feel to know that the only reason you’re better at debating than Charlie Kirk is because someone killed the poor bastard” while flicking us off and running away. What makes it even worse? Majority of students around us couldn’t condemn that

We have the data and we see with our own eyes what is happening...and still, they just keep on lying about it. What makes someone like Chuck Schumer want to see his people replaced? Just makes no sense.

What a feeling getting back out running after 3 weeks. Truly what running and exercise does for the brain is mental. The year has flown by and soon it will be time to run a marathon in 6 continents. Let’s do it for mental health ❤️🙏

Nicholas Thompson is a disciplined machine (Atlantic CEO, record-holding runner, perpetual achiever) and a wholehearted human (insatiable interviewer, loving father, lifelong student). I talked to nxthompson about what makes words worth reading in an AI world, the discipline of long form, and what compounds when you keep showing up. Nick is the CEO of The Atlantic, the American record holder in the 50K, and the author of The Running Ground—a book about inheritance, pushing oneself, and remembering that life remains richer than we can possibly know. We discuss whether I am a journalist; why The Atlantic matters, great editing and coaching; lessons from David Remnick and the gift of commercial constraints from Laurene Powell Jobs; daily momentum and how tiny tailwinds compound; getting paced to a 5-minute mile by his 15-year-old son; inheritance and Nick's exuberant, chaotic dad; the part of Nick's book that he's never been asked about; and why we are capable of much more than we think. Timestamps: 0:00 - Opening Highlights 1:17 - Intro to Nick 3:30 - Start: Words, Reading, and Writing in an Automated World 18:39 - Why Stories Matter and What Makes a Journalist 28:22 - Media Institutions, The Atlantic, Democracy, Tech, and Power 44:21 - Retaining Great Writers and The Virtues of Editors (and Coaches) 57:44 - Magazines and America 1:05:57 - Running, Motivation, Momentum, and Tailwinds 1:16:08 - Aging, Fathers and Sons, Inheritance, and a Mother's Grace 1:31:00 - Merging Machine-like Discipline and Wild Curiosity, The Boat that Never Touched Water, and Who We Might Still Become 1:44:11 - Gratitude, Stalin's Daughter, Scott Thompson's Verve, and Feeling Most Alive Episode 45 of Dialectic with Jackson Dahl: Nicholas Thompson - A Life of Long Form - is available on all platforms and below. This was a special one for me. Please enjoy.

When you have an agency in trouble like the FBI, you nominate someone with unquestioned integrity to lead. Someone who has demonstrated his or her qualifications, and is learned in the laws of the bench. Not someone like Kash Patel. He shows what Trump really wants, which is fealty to Trump.

This man has been selling bread in traffic since 2004. He's 45 years old now.😢 Imagine running after cars at that age. Each bread he sells, he makes btw 50-100naira profit. In a day he makes 5000 tops. He has a family and an elderly father to feed. 🥺 His story is so heartbreaking. Brought me to tears this morning. I'm so happy this good samaritan decided to put a smile on his face.

Astrology has been running the same twelve memes for 5,000 years. The oldest story deserves the fastest rails. But people don’t fall in love with infrastructure. They fall in love with what it makes possible. If Solana is refrigeration, ASTROFOLIO is Coca-Cola.
