Thanks to everyone who read and commented on or contacted me about this piece on George Washington and the overriding tyranny of slavery. I appreciate folks who wanted to talk further either to agree or disagree! I heard 2 issues, both of which I discuss in the piece. 1/ time.com/7173647/geor...
Even George Washington Was a Tyrant
We don't need to find heroes in our past presidents. We need to try to understand that tyranny has always been part of American freedom.

The point is that at university you're meant to be taught by researchers. It's higher education because it's not just a static body of knowledge; researchers are the people who can teach you to make new knowledge yourself
King's vice-chancellor: "It’s not that we are going broke teaching our students,it's that we are going broke fulfilling our mission of doing research and doing research-led and research-informed teaching."

Anti-personnel and anti-tank mines are one way by which Ukraine is compensating for a lack of infantry. Offensive and defensive mining is highly effective, enabling Ukraine to hold terrain. Many are dropped by drones now, as a form of remote mining, some types with self-liquidating timers.

On China’s urban question
Last century, Marxists grappled with the ‘agrarian question’: was the peasantry disappearing and, if not, what could be done? Now, after decades of breakneck urbanisation, China is seeing its face from the other side: are the cities filling up as planned and, where not, what to do? By Jane Hayward.
China’s Urban Question: The Other Side of the Agrarian Question | Made in China Journal

Much of Graber’s writing says, in essence, “What happens if we don’t accept this?” – if we dissect it to see its origins and impacts, or if we reject it, if we lift it off like some burden we don’t have to carry, some outfit we don’t have to wear? What happens is we get free.
