David Jolly: Running for Governor in Florida, His Faith, and the FutureDavid Jolly, the former Republican congressman turned independent, graces the podcast with his sharp insights and a healthy dose of sarcasm.

It’s a wild ride as he critiques both major parties, claiming they’ve become more about preserving power than serving the people.

Protagonist James Ballard (who shares a name with the author) is inducted into this deathstyle by Dr. Robert Vaughan, a “nightmare angel of the expressways” driven by the ultimate fantasy of a head-on collision with Elizabeth Taylor. Reckless as tornado hunters, Vaughan and his acolytes roam the highways around what’s now Heathrow Airport in search of accidents and their survivors, all brutalized, disabled, and, if they’re anything like them, newly ravenous for exciting new t...

Since Torrey had plans, she generously donated her tickets to the New York premiere of Cronenberg’s newest film, Crimes of the Future, to me and Jade.

Buck’s case is certainly not the first to touch on BDSM, but the way in which it was discussed, particularly by Buck’s legal team, is a fascinating nexus of contemporary popular discourses around deviant sex and the legal history of BDSM in America. (I promise I’m going somewhere with this.)Sexual perversion’s enmeshme...

DAVIDDavid Davis 39, part 1In 2017, when 26-year-old Gemmel Moore’s body was found in the West Hollywood apartment of small-time Democratic donor Ed Buck, his death was dismissed as an accidental drug overdose. Two years later, when 55-year-old Timothy Dean died by overdose in the same apartment, the police ignored the coincidence. Although by then a coalition of activists and civil rights organizations were demanding an investigation, it was not until 39-year-old Dane Brown escaped the apartment at 1234 Laurel Avenue in search of emergency medical care that the police arrested Buck.In keeping with his extensive pattern of targeting what the Ne...

It was a cheap student paperback, brown but glossy, and small enough that you felt like you were reading something secret—a diary or a spell book. I took it with me to school and read it under the sycamore oaks. Spare and sure-footed as a parable, The Pearl was like if a Bible story was also Captains Courageous. When the scorpion stung the baby, Coyotito, I felt its hot barb in my flesh, too. Steinb...

DAVIDDavid DavisIf you saw me writing on my vacation, no you didn’t. See you in April. As regular readers may have noticed, I do my best to distinguish SM from sex without separating them entirely. The reasons for this are both practical and political. The practical: you must know what you want to get what you want (failing that, you should know when you don’t know what you want). For me, deciding with my partners whether and how a scene will be sexual makes good common sense. Being prepared instead of spontaneous—or rather, prepar...
