The Harper’s Weekly Review was launched in 2000. I edited this free, weekly email from June 2018–November 2023. Its premise: collate and reflow news from the past seven days into a satirical chronicle. (It’s like the Harper’s Index or Findings, but takes aim at the relentless absurdity of the 24-hour news cycle.) I wrote it occasionally too. Here are a few of my favorites that I’ve authored over the years.
I also made this video that critiques SNL’s toothless satire and legitimization of Trump.
