Muslim. Irish. Female. Immigrant. Tells you something about the other place that I hesitated to put these facts in a profile.
Yeah, I follow too many. Went a bit mad with the starter packs. Winnowing slowly.

Under new plans to be unveiled by Labour, UK citizenship test has a whole section on Northern Ireland. If you get any of them right, you don't get citizenship.
I'm forever reminded that I'm not truly British because I constantly forget to forget about Northern Ireland
What Americans don't understand is 'crassly forgetting Northern Ireland' is a core part of British culture, like cueing and only being able to communicate via laconic understatement.

The level of cowardice and incompetence of this government is astonishing. Five years of total legislative and executive power burned up in little over a year

SATAN: So tell me about that, what were some challenges you faced and how did you overcome them?
ME: A lot of customers want to know, for example, which cinemas are showing a given film on a given day. My job was to use design to make the process of finding that information as annoying as possible

The reaction to the Panorama edit has been nothing short of hysterical. Yes the BBC has some impartiality problems. But its biggest isn't the one you think.

The BBC is surely big enough, strong enough, credible enough, respected enough, reflective enough, has wide enough reach and a strong enough history to stand up for itself, while acknowledging room to improve. And never kowtowing or denying facts

Mamdani has shown considerable self-control in the face of some quite horrific tantrums.
Self-control imo is the quality modern masculinity is most sorely in need of.

Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.

Mamdani responded to the smears by putting out an ad in Arabic and speaking Arabic in his victory speech. The lesson is to never apologize for who you are and never cede to your opponents the idea that their voters are somehow more legitimate than your own voters.
