Great piece by Zadie Smith. When the right talks about classics or "Western" culture, these works are only important to the extent that it demonstrates their superiority, they have no interest in art in and of itself beyond that www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I'm sure it's been 10-15 years since I last heard Pat Benatar's Invincible. Was on the radio two days ago and now stuck in my head at 5:30 AM.

This government is so racist. 🧵
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Hi Bluesky,
God just needs 17k followers to hit 600k. And then 66k more after that to hit 666k. That will be funny.

Same, same.
I wouldn't particularly claim my life was a success, but so far I've navigated male middle age without either sending photos of my cock to random women or developing an obsessive public hatred against a marginalised group. It's not exactly a high bar, but clearly not everyone manages it.

The entire right-wing propaganda machine came after Zohran Mamdani.
The president and his allies came after him.
Democratic leaders, by and large, did not have his back until the last minute.
He still won, turning out historic numbers and inspiring young voters.
His politics can win anywhere.

We. Fucking. Told. You.
New: The FBI is quietly urging ICE agents to properly ID themselves in the field.
In a bulletin to law enforcement last month, it warned of criminals posing as ICE to rob, rape, kidnap—a problem it says now demands national coordination to confront.
By me & @carolinehaskins.bsky.social:

Bloody hell. Another instance of not being able to have nice things...
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

Something that happens sometimes when I'm close to finishing a piece is that I get excited to share it and then seeing it on social media has a way of making me notice all the things I'm not satisfied with about it. So I spent some more time with this today.
