the kriss cancellation actually speaks to the hollowness you describe in the articles. he got drunk and kept propositioning a woman who did not like his advances, and then insisted she should sleep with him because he came from a rich family and would inherit a very large house.

Hah - I had a funny interaction with him a while back. It fits in well with your analysis of him as a bit of an arrogant ass. My initial point was that as someone from Slavic Europe, the war in Ukraine was hitting a bit close to home for me, and he ended up telling me he was "from further east than me", by which I guess he meant he was born in Israel. But I've still enjoyed some of his writing -- usually stuff he writes for other mediums/outlets, where he has to have a thesis and think about things like word counts. https://substack.com/@tjarnikova/note/c-97366485?r=5d74s&utm_source=notes-share-action&utm_medium=web
