I don’t think the people saying that were necessarily wrong, were they? It’s not like we’ve had some intellectual renaissance since search engines were introduced.

Man, it takes stones to just say this publicly.

On the one hand, I have never felt inconvenienced writing a paper check. On the other hand, I personally would not keep $500 million tied up in a digital bearer bond that has an amazing propensity for being hacked, but that’s just me.

The Giants need to be leading by 40 heading into the fourth quarter just to have a chance.

I would have preferred a halftime firing, but I’ll accept any time tonight.

This secondary would make Mike Glennon look good.

Well that’s a relief. I legit worried he’d say something worse.

You wouldn’t know it. It lives in Canada.

330 million or so more like him and we wouldn't need the government.

"Why don't you tell me the name of the movie you want to see."

(When Kramer pretended to be Moviefone.)

Somebody should do a separate interview with Jeffries' spine. Assuming it can be found.

I may be a little late to the party, but I think it's time for us to start holding our elected officials to a higher standard.

And the reality is, it's not really true. They're spending a trillion a year. Of course they could afford it. It's just easier and quicker for them to just steal it all.

This is so saying the quiet part out loud I can't believe he actually said it.

What do Gen X'ers and ancient Mesopotamians have in common? Compound interest Paying interest on interest has been a constant since the days of Uruk

Compound interest was a problem 5,000 years ago and it's a problem today. The difference is that 5,000 years ago they found a workaround.

Gonna take a wild stab here and say it's about money.

Hey, you know what industry has lost more workers than the coal industry and could use some help? The media industry.

ATM: Paul Vigna: How Greed Became a Virtue - The Big Picture At The Money: How Greed Became a Virtue. (September 24, 2025) It’s a driving factor in our lives. But how often have you thought about those little green pieces of paper in your wallet? Is money real,...

How did we get from "greed is the root of all evil" to "greed is good"? Sat down with
@Ritholtz

This was a fun one.

'Turn the other cheek' is not pacific, it's defiant Jesus wasn't teaching when he said 'turn the other cheek,' he was challenging

Turning the other cheek is about defiance.

Equality Was Never Self-Evident Nobody starts a war over something that is self-evident

The entire history of this country can be read as a fight to define who get included in the words "all men."

A picture of me on a program on C-SPAN2.

Kind of amazed that this is on right now.

They could’ve built such a better future, which would already be our past.

Tonight at 7:15 pm, C-SPAN2’s Book-TV is broadcasting my July talk with Ben Wallace about my new book, The Almightier.

Binge the National Book Festival all day, explore the mysteries of The Almightier tonight.

Anthropic Agrees to Pay $1.5 Billion to Settle Lawsuit With Book Authors

Anthropic is going to end up paying $3,000 per book when it could've paid $26 (or less!) per if it had just bought them.

"Anthropic could have purchased the books from many sellers, the judge said, but instead preferred to 'steal' them."

Set your DVR. I’ll be on C-SPAN’s Book-TV, Saturday at 7:15 pm (after a full day of the National Book Festival). They taped me in July talking about my new book, The Almightier.

'The Death of Ivan Ilyich' goes too easy on Ivan Ilyich You can't erase a lifetime of abhorrence in the last two hours of your life just by realizing you were abhorrent

You don't get to be a jerk your whole life and then recant two hours before you die and all's forgiven.

Even the players have to know there is something off about Belichick being there. Something just wrong about it. This guy should be chasing the all-time wins record, but he's coaching college?

"Greatest coach in NFL history can't get a job and goes to college program with his 23-year old girlfriend" works much better as a screwball comedy than it does as reality.

I don't think Belichick's gonna be in North Carolina very long.

Sat down with KDKR Radio in Dallas, a Christian-talkshow station, yesterday to talk about money, greed, and The Almightier.
