This is one of my favourite pieces so far as The Times emphasises how AMAZING swifts are & how small the ask of swift bricks is, illustrating how pathetic Labour are being. www.thetimes.com/comment/the-...

If we accept someone is a genuine refugee and they build a life here, perhaps have children born here, what is the advantage to us of expelling them once we’ve persuaded ourselves that their country of origin is safe?

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...

Morales: I don’t care if you’re the most individualistic person on the planet—because you “lift yourself up by your bootstraps” and think government should stay out of your business and “don’t tread on me.” Climate change is already treading on you, and you should care about this issue.

Anyway last night I dreamt we all voted to stick musk and the other tech bros on one of his rockets to mars, which had a 99% probability of exploding
We could have done that instead of making him a trillionaire

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.

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 4: There’s nothing wrong with writing fluff. Fluff insulates. It protects. It cocoons us from a world filled with sharp edges and sudden fires. It makes a warm bed to sleep on; builds soft ramparts; saves lives.

dissatisfied by the New York Times coverage of Zohran Mamdani?
great news! I talked to the guy Thursday about his campaign’s success at bringing community together beyond this election, and contextualized how it’s potentially shifted youth engagement with politics by simply listening @teenvogue.com

Zohran Mamdani's Establishment-Fighting Campaign Built Community for Young People
“What Mamdani has done is not only inspire and mobilize young people, but he has exposed the establishment and some of their calcified views of participation and inclusion.”

When white people react with hostility to sharing space with Black and brown folk, they don’t care if those folk were born here, migrated legally, or are “illegal aliens.” They only see non-white faces who “don’t belong in their space.” This is why “ordinary concern” about migration is basic racism.
