When I Boarded My Cargo Ship Last Year, I Could Never Have Imagined What COVID Would Bring

When I Boarded My Cargo Ship Last Year, I Could Never Have Imagined What COVID Would Bring Slate 12/17/2020 is a series of dispatches exploring how the coronavirus is affecting people’s lives. This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Fadi El Seddik, a career seafaring engineer. The conversation has been transcribed, condensed, and edited by Rachael Allen. In October 2019, I joined a cargo ship. The ship traveled from Africa to Brazil. At the time, nobody had heard of COVID-19. In January 2020, we came to Charleston, South Carolina. The U.S. Marshals detained the ship because the owner had a U.S. court judgment against him for damaged goods. The ship was anchored, and the U.S. Customs and Border Protection did not allow anyone to go ashore because we did not have visas I live in Lebanon and because of coronavirus.

On Dec. 9, Donald Trump tweeted something incorrect but at least closer to the ballpark of the truth than most of what he’s posted since losing his reelection campaign. “At 10 p.m. on Election Evening, we were at 97% [to] win with the so-called ‘bookies,’ ” Trump wrote. The “so-called ‘bookies’ ” never had Trump as a 97 percent favorite, but late on the night of Nov. 3, many online sportsbooks did indeed favor him to win the presidency. At points between 10 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. Eastern, many of these bookmakers all of which are offshore, because election betting is not legal in the United States posted odds that gave Trump around a 70 percent chance of victory. At 10:30 p.m., one of the most popular offshore

The 2020 TV Club features Slate’s Willa Paskin, Vulture’s Kathryn VanArendonk, the Hollywood Reporter’s Inkoo Kang, and Vox’s Emily VanDerWerff. Hallo Meine TV Club Freunde, My German is rudimentary high school level, so who knows if that’s correct, but I will take a brief moment to hop into Emily’s Babylon Berlin party anyhow. Babylon Berlin! Few shows this year have been more aware of the power of the image both visually and thematically and as Emily so correctly diagnoses, few shows had the kind of runway that this one did. The sprawl makes room for mistakes, but the sprawl also makes room for one-off experiments and odd narrative sidetracks. And I truly believe that there’s no shortcut for the feeling of having lived with characters for many, many hours. Some shows squander that, of course, and some manage to use their

Trump Is Finishing Russia s Smear Campaign Against America

Trump Is Finishing Russia’s Smear Campaign Against America Slate 12/11/2020 William Saletan © Provided by Slate Photo illustration by Slate.

He has undermined NATO, withheld military aid to Ukraine, and abandoned America’s commitments to democracy and human rights. He has excused Vladimir Putin’s crimes, yielded to Russian troops in the Middle East, and dismissed Russia’s 2016 election interference as a hoax. Now Trump has been voted out by Americans, but he’s still serving Russia. He’s devoting his final days in office and suggesting he might devote his post-presidency to a longstanding Russian objective: destroying faith in U.S. elections.
