the lesson from the right is not that their obsessions with trans volleyball, anti Haitian blood libel, or reversing the change in teen pregnancy rate are actually the well framed kitchen table issues of the volk but simply that political discourse becomes about things people say often and loudly

The right taking the misogyny angle on Natalie Harp is interesting because I think, based on her letters to him, one could easily argue the president is emotionally abusing and taking advantage of a vulnerable and potentially unstable woman

For the record, the proportion of professors at Cambridge who are Black is 0.4%.
The number of Black people in the UK population is 4%.
So the number of Black professors at Cambridge is ONE TENTH of what you would expect in a meritocracy.

Excuse me while I sit in silence processing the idea that the mayor of New York was nine years old on 9/11/2001.
Mamdani was nine years old on that day by the way. There is no other explanation but this.
the argument against Mamdani attending the 9/11 anniversary, as far as I can tell, is literally just that he’s Muslim, and reposting it is just reporting rank racism

Perhaps an unpopular, but correct, opinion: THE ODYSSEY is a better movie than OPPENHEIMER.
I respected Oppenheimer, more than I enjoyed it, whereas The Odyssey is actually blockbuster entertainment. Both are excellent films.
