From April 22, 1794 until shortly after her husband’s execution on July 22 that year, Josephine was herself imprisoned as a suspected royalist in the crypt underneath the church of Saint-Joseph-des-Carmes in the...2024-01-1811 min

The H&H PodcastBisexual Classical LiberalismRob Henderson joins the podcast to talk about Season 2 of The White Lotus, Episodes 5 and 6.

In the course of the discussion, I identify the ideology of the show as “Bisexual Classical Liberalism.” I got this from remembering having previously read that Mike White, the show’s creator, had described himself as a classical liberal. I can’t find this through googling, and maybe it’s an attributi...2022-12-061h 19
