There were also a group of men (landlords and company directors) who had a good laugh by burning an effigy of Grenfell, and I can't imagine that in China these men would continue to live upper middle-class lives. People genuinely get 'cancelled' there, and sometimes that's for the best.

My favorite ludicrous New Yorker style is that they print initialisms in full caps but acronyms (initialisms pronounced as words) in small caps, so in the days of CD-ROMs, they'd write the word like this:

Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

There might be no better example of the war coming home than a CIA trained teen death squad recruit getting asylum in the US and then shooting a bunch of soldiers who were deployed to DC for no reason other than Kabuki Security Theater

Personally I these white men just need to assimilate to the real Indigenous values of America, responsible stewardship of land & use of resources, cooperative community governance, hospitality, honor of spirit, instead of refusing to relinquish their barbaric European culture, we'd be better off.
Trump is doing 95% of the shit the Declaration of Independence was written about so Miller was kind of spot on about importing the horrors of… England.

The reality, of course, is that Miller and a significant portion of Trump’s base are the ones who failed to assimilate to America’s post-WWII culture of multi-racial democracy & religious pluralism…and they are now using their power to destroy that once dominant (and still popular) American culture.

It’s useful to think about things like this in numbers of tenure track professors.
$53M is 575 assistant professors. Or more than thirty percent of the total number of full-time faculty at LSU.

I think everyone in the shoe throwing incident was very impressive. Al-Zaidi for getting both shoes off and airborne in under five seconds, Bush solid reflexes with his dodges and al-Maliki didn't get rattled, showed a lot of poise in the pocket
Do younger people know about the Bush shoe incident?
It's a disgrace to American journalism that no American reporter has tried to bean one of our presidents with a shoe.
