I’ve asked this before but I’m genuinely curious if people have recommendations for newsletter software that is not SubStack. My main interest is something that I can use for essay writing. I’d rather it be a newsletter than a blog. And I’d rather not have to pay for anything. Recs?

AI is killing the college essay as more professors ditch robot-written papers for in-class exams. So now even fewer students are being taught to write well (an energy intensive task!).
Students lose out, bc good writing = good thinking: a training of the brain towards structure, style & substance.

Really seeing once again, it seems, that the real divide in the Democratic coalition is not left/lib/moderate or anything like that.
It's the fight/no-fight divide. And the 'fight' dems are the ones winning elections.

Mamdani embodies a pro-Palestinian politics that truly distinguishes between the state of Israel and the Jewish people, and truly takes antisemitism seriously as its own problem. That makes him a threat to those who want to absolutely conflate antisemitism and anti-Zionism, whether the ADL or WoL.
The pro-Palestine group Within Our Lifetime has already decided that Zohran Mamdani has sold out the pro-Palestine cause... by condemning swastikas drawn on a Jewish day school in Brooklyn. forward.com/culture/7822...
Mamdani's first statement on antisemitism as mayor-elect got some weird pushback
After someone spraypainted a swastika on a yeshiva, Zohran Mamdani condemned antisemitism. Somehow, this generated conspiracy theories.

Zohran Mamdani polled +40% on men under 30. So we wasted all that time on all those think pieces about how we need a Joe Rogan for the left, when what we actually needed were *policies* for the left.

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

FAR more ironic - and tragic - than "Murphy Brown's daughter" (Chloe Malle) knifing @teenvogue.com in the back is that she's also the daughter of Louis Malle, director of Au Revoir Les Enfants, a great film about children being disappeared from classrooms by a fascist state. "Never forget", Chloe.
