Cover image for Paper Cuts When a local newspaper
Paper Cuts When a local newspaper closes, the damage doesn't announce itself — it shows up later, in the numbers. Paper Cuts is a console I built to make that visible: drag a newsroom from fully staffed to shuttered and watch a town's civic vital signs slide into the red — borrowing costs, contested ballots, split-ticket voting — each tied to published research. The country has lost roughly 3,500 local papers since 2005 and still loses more than two a week. This is what leaves with them.

Cover image for A Working Encyclopedia of Philosophers:
A Working Encyclopedia of Philosophers: Cicero Cicero was an outsider who argued his way to the top of a republic that didn't want him there, and died for backing the wrong side of its collapse. This is the whole arc — the rise as a "new man," the consulship, the fall — written from the primary sources and illustrated by hand, built so someone meeting him for the first time can follow the entire life in one sitting. It's the first entry in a working encyclopedia of philosophers: reference meant to be read, not just consulted.

Cover image for The house always wins. One question:
The house always wins. One question: does the public's low opinion of Congress actually cost incumbents their seats? I built an interactive board across all 27 election cycles since 1972, toggling incumbent reelection against Gallup approval, every figure sourced. The result you can audit on one screen: House incumbents who ran won about 94% of the time while Congress sat near 28% approval.

Cover image for Misunderstood A personal essay that thinks
Misunderstood A personal essay that thinks through television. Every writer's job is to show us why a character does what they do — give an audience the reasons and even a cruel act becomes understandable. I turn that lens on ordinary life and the asymmetry it reveals: the grace we hand fictional strangers, we withhold from the people right in front of us. It starts from a private failure — that whatever I feel rarely lands intact on the other side — and follows it out to what's lost when reaching and being reached keep missing.
