Censorship of Pro-Palestine Speech in the Music Industry Shows the Power of Demands for Decolonization
The liberation of Palestine is a threat to how we live today—that’s precisely why we should keep calling for it.

Bike lanes are not a reward for good cyclist behavior! They are infrastructure proven to make cities safer for ALL ROAD USERS. Whatever way cyclists have wronged you is irrelevant to the discussion!

Every conversation about bike lanes is like:
"Car crashes kill a huge number of people every day, including pedestrians, cyclists, & car occupants. Good bike infrastructure has been shown to make everyone safer (& doesn't increase congestion)."
"But sometimes cyclists break rules & hit people!"

This piece assumes that there is an overwhelming cultural consensus about going no-contact with conservative parents. There isn’t!

The author decided to stay in contact with her conservative parents and that is fine! The problem is turning this singular anecdote into a half-baked take about Progressive Intolerance.
No one thinks every queer person should ostracize their parents! This is not a view that needs refuting.

The sad thing about this piece is that author’s personal journey with her father is compellingly and empathetically told. But that clumsy nutgraf and headline are completely unnecessary. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/16/o...

This has been a slowly metastasizing moral panic for years: Liberals, drunk on therapy-speak, are cutting off their parents over minor slights and miscommunications.
There is little evidence of the underlying phenomenon and even less of the cause. Look at this egregiously thin nut graf.

You could argue, correctly I think, that the current willingness to tear down the post war order is rooted in the fact the folks who could tell you why it was built are almost all gone.
There’s been surprisingly little about how we are in the very last years of living memory of service in WW2.

One of my pet theories is that a lack of distress tolerance is one of the main differences between people who function in society and people who don’t
Discomfort is an essential part of growth and wouldn’t it be so embarrassing to be the exact same person thirty years from now, in a totally different world, because you were so averse to discomfort?

to punctuate Paul Buchanan’s lyrics as if they were prose is to sound their depths. I believe this of a lot of lyricists and although I don’t do writing advice I will say transcribing — hearing and writing out by hand, not copying out (which is also a good practice) — engenders growth

Not wanting to attend a large public event in the presence of a Muslim man isn’t a valid opinion, even if something terrible and tragic happened to you. You are free to feel it, but not free to have it treated as acceptable

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

No matter how good Zohran Mamdani makes grocery affordability sound, he's selling New Yorkers the same broken promise that has failed everywhere else.
