I’m almost tempted to start describing my politics as “Buberian binational cultural Zionism” just to make everyone on all sides of the aisle hate me.

Fun assignment in Film History I’m going to try next week with the Hays/Motion Picture Production Code. Pick a recent media artifact you enjoy that definitely wouldn’t pass the Code and then outline some strategies you’d use to remake the work to earn the seal of approval.

Iran finds itself in a quagmire, facing few good options.

But what ARE its options?

With Graeme Wood, we looked at four. Read it all here!

Iran’s Bad Options

At most, Iran can hope to wound America or Israel when attacked. But its own weapons can never win a war.

Britain has a new party to the left of Labour. It's already getting in its own way, Arash Azizi argues:

How Not to Get a Progressive Party off the Ground

The British left needs a strategy that can win elections instead of throwing them to the right.
