This week is going to drive me insane www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...
A pull-quote from the New York: "The students who spoke at the vigil on Thursday described Kirk as a man of deep fath, 'a symbol of peace in the midst of chaos,' someone who sought to 'make change through respectful discussion'a dn was dedicated to 'keeping the conversation going' and 'educating the youth and lessening the political divide on college campuses.' He was a martyr for free speech: 'It doesn't take more than a few moments' scrolling through the comments section on one of Kirk's social-media posts to see the hate he received every day for simply having conversations,' a student from Pro-Life Aggies said."

Having now finally read one of his giant books, it completely tracks that King would be the featured vote for Oppenheimer, a movie about boys blowing things up and the girls who loved them. (I know its about more than that and I actually also really liked it). www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

In what world does this reflect the actual reality of British immigration policy pre-Starmer? www.nytimes.com/2025/06/19/o...
A block of text with "He [Keir Starmer] described its recent approach as a "one-nation experiment in open borders" that Britons never voted for" highlighted.
