First things first: Get a look at this!
❤️ To my subscribers, old and new: Thank you so much! I am so grateful to you all.
If you’re not a subscriber, it’s not too late! You too can join we few, we happy few, we band of Cosmopolitan Globalists—and you’d be joining just in time to take part in all of our end-of-the-year merriments.
But this offer ends in a few hours. After tonight, it’s back to pressing your nose against the window and looking longingly at all those nice things in the Cosmopolitan Globalist, knowing that you’ll never be able to afford them. “That’s just for the swells. … ” “Maybe one day when our ship comes in … ”
So act fast! Just for this evening, our price is so low you’d think we’d gone communist. Don’t miss it: You don’t want to kick yourself the next time I send you an essay with a tempting headline and all the good stuff behind the paywall.
Speaking of paywalls, this paywalled episode of Critical Conditions is our 30th since we launched the podcast in August. In it, Dan and I ranked the most important events and trends of 2025. (I’m not going to share Dan’s show notes today because they’re full of spoilers, but if you want the whole thing spoiled, go right ahead.)
No, we didn’t coordinate beforehand, and we didn’t know what the other would say. It just worked out this way.
