He was . . . a strange blending of puritan and cavalier, with a touch of the ancient philosopher, and more than a touch of the pagan. . . . a hunger in his soul drove him on and on, an urge to right all wrongs, protect all weaker things. . . . wayward and restless as the wind, he was consistent in only one respect—he was true to his ideals of justice and right. such was solomon kane.

My first car was kind of sad. my first car was when my parents had completely worn out their toyota corolla that they had for 16 years or something. they gave me, for my 19th birthday, this really ancient toyota. so that was my first car. and i loved it. i thought it was amazing, and i drove it cross-country. it was not aesthetically appealing in any way. it was it fast. it did not handle well, but it lasted forever. i drove cross-country and back, and then i gave it to my sister, and she drove it for another 10 years.

Our countries are weaker: they cannot protect us from imported goods, they can't protect us from climate change, they cannot protect us from epidemics. these things cross borders. but the kind of cooperation that would protect us from those things was completely lacking and because of this there's been a backlash. people feel vulnerable.

Boris nemtsov and i began to argue after putin's return to the presidency in 2012. in my opinion, there was no longer a realistic chance to achieve regime change through peaceful political means, or real elections. boris, on the other hand, never lost this hope. he felt that my assessment was premature and said: "you have to live a long time to see changes in russia." he was deprived of that opportunity.
