Dems: Mamdani is too radical for our taste. Plus someone said he's antisemitic. And that name is scary to us! We need to keep him out.
Dems, 1 week later: Look lots of people have tattoos like that
Dems, 2 weeks later: Marjorie Taylor Greene, welcome to the Tent

Yes, this part of the building is awful and should have been exploded years ago, but the bit round the side that they used as the police station in Dept Q looks alright.

a big runoff last night, in New Orleans:
Calvin Duncan was exonerated after spending *28 years* in prison; he tried to get his own case records from the New Orleans city clerk—but the office dragged its feet.
So Duncan ran to become city clerk himself, and yesterday ousted the incumbent.

It's so interesting that in the name of practicality we are urged to avoid any practical action; in the name of redemption we are urged to exonerate people who have shown no interest in redemption; in the name of civility we are urged to overlook the cruelty of those who scorn all civility

Well, if nothing else, the last couple of days has shown me who is consuming the massive amounts of technically-of-age-stepdaughter-but-actually-catering-to-people-who-really-want-to-fuck-children porn that's produced.

This has led me to the cursed realisation that 2125 University Challenge will have questions on "Early 21st century politician and statesman, Nigel Farage."
My guess is that in 2125 the three people of this era known to reasonably educated laymen will be Donald Trump, Elon Musk and Jeffrey Epstein.

historians in 30XX: “we hypothesize the existence of a Ur-Heathers, a play by an unknown author. while no surviving copy of this work, dated to the late 20th century, survives, we believe that it serves as an origin of the ‘Mean Girl’ archetype and many folk morality tales centered on ‘high school’”

This is a very good and vital podcast series.
The latest episode of my podcast Collateral Damage is up today.
When we started this project a few years ago, we had no idea how timely this episode would be.
It's about Veronica and Charity Bowers, a mother and daughter killed in 2001 when the CIA and Peruvian Air Force shot down their plane.

Episode Six: Airborne Imperialism
A U.S.-led program killed Veronica and Charity Bowers in Peru after mistaking their plane for drug smugglers. Trump’s Venezuela boat strikes make their deaths newly and urgently relevant.
