Reviewed Carlos Barragan's THE YAHOO BOYS, an outstanding new book about Nigerian scammers and how the entire system is predicated on everybody losing out, for @foreignpolicy.com: foreignpolicy.com/2026/07/10/y...
A World of Scams
‘The Yahoo Boys’ shows how con artists can be victims too.

Turns out a Yiddish language intensive really is the best way for me to stay offline But while I am here briefly, please please subscribe to @flaminghydra.com! All cylinders really firing over there, and very proud to be a contributing writer there.
June's Crime & Mystery column is up, reviewing new books by Caitlin Mullen (HEATHER is truly brilliant, cannot stop thinking about it), Amy Bloom, Martin Walker, and Jo Firestone.

So the reason I will be way more scarce here is that I start a Yiddish language intensive class at @yivoinstitute.bsky.social on Monday! (Technically it is my first language, actual mameloshen, but I've never done formal classwork before.) Very excited to immerse myself in the program for 6 weeks.
I haven't been able to stop thinking about @katewagner.wehwalt.net's most recent essay, and if you haven't had a chance to read it yet, make the time to do so.
Maria Bustillos@mariabustillos.com · 2mo agoThis remark now expanded into a mindblowing new essay from @katewagner.wehwalt.net at @flaminghydra.com. Can't stop thinking about it. Flawlessly synthesizes so many disparate facets of media, politics, arts into a monstrous whole. Will listen to the podcast too. flaminghydra.com/fascism-and-...
Why were there so many novelty disco songs and were any of them actually good
A great piece by Sarah. Also, @flaminghydra.com is turning out to be dynamite. So worth the few bucks a month they are asking for great pieces of writing.
Sarah Weinman@sarahweinman.com · 2mo agoMy latest @flaminghydra.com essay is on rewatching ZODIAC almost twenty years after its release, being worried it didn't hold up and discovered a) it still rules b) it might be the movie for our current moment? flaminghydra.com/issue-586/

Oooh I really liked this, the invocation of male loneliness epidemic feels earned and made me think even more about the ways this logically led Fincher into The Social Network.

TODAY: @sarahweinman.com on David Fincher's 2007 film Zodiac, and why it may work even better now than when it first came out. "If the Zodiac case is the abyss, so many men end up looking straight into it." flaminghydra.com/issue-586/#f...
