#POLG
I’m biracial (US dad, Ethiopian mom US born) and moved to Kenya at 4, had lots of Kenyan Indian friends, families there generations. When I moved to the states I didn’t know I was Black or have any idea of the American binary concept of race until someone called me the n word.

The Atlantic should correct this. Ed Wong is a sober, fair minded journalist who has done excellent work on many difficult assignments (including Beijing bureau chief!) over many years, unlike the writer of that piece, who subjected Ed to an appalling smear.

Not to be a pedant but Bari Weiss was a junior editor who occasionally wrote opinion pieces in the opinion section, not a columnist.

Institutions that treated this man like some kind of mainstream, center right figure need to take a long, hard look in the mirror.

One thing re: Harris that I didn't say in this piece is Black politicians aren't permitted the kind of complexity that a white politician has. Failure or defeat is reveals some inalterable flaw as opposed to talent that wasn't right/ready for the moment. www.nytimes.com/2024/07/27/o...

Harris’s success and setbacks could make her the ideal candidate against a man who admits no mistakes, has no humility and is utterly unrelatable.

I am seeing a pattern of quite well disciplined pro-Palestine protesters, trained in non-engagement with counter-protestors, getting arrested after "chaos" breaks out instigated by aggressive pro-Israel counter protesters. It happened at UCLA and could happen at U Chicago.

The prince had PolG disease, a genetic mitochondrial disorder that prevents the body's cells from producing adequate energy.

I am congenitally resistant to conspiracy thinking, but this really does feel like a eugenic plot. There is some dark, pseudo-Darwinian thinking on the right that equates illness with moral unfitness, and prefers that the weak die, indeed demands that they be culled. Truly a death cult.

One thing that irks me: people keep calling the folks on the streets in Minneapolis protestors. They are not generally there to protest, they are there to observe and document. This is the product of organizing and mutual aid. It is telling that these acts of citizenship are seen as protest!
