Grumpy medievalist take, but I am gobsmacked by the cheerfulness with which some scholars working in later fields disclose not having the relevant languages for their research, and also having no plans to acquire them. There are many cases in which you've actually gotta read the Latin, babe!

Let’s be frank, we are all very fortunate this event did not result in RFK actively drinking breast milk from the source on camera, something which feels like it was not entirely off the table?

Going to be fun watching them try to figure out a way to say "oh we didn't mean dual citizenship with a white country" without sounding like massive racists.
The Conservative party’s policy also includes stripping people of their British citizenship when they are found guilty of a crime ⬇️
All criminals with dual nationality must be deported, say Tories

The thing is that existing guidance also advises breast milk over formula where that’s possible and practical, it just manages to do so without being fucking creepy and off-putting and refusing to acknowledge factors that can make that unfeasible!

IMO this also gets at another fundamental MAGA divide which is that most of them like Noem primarily want to pump out deportation content, which is going very well, while Miller genuinely wants to permanent reshape the demographics of American society, which is not
That Miller reportedly wants Noem gone because she's not being aggressive enough really shows how high on their own supply these guys are. What they're doing is already historically unpopular, and they want to do it even harder.
i am skeptical trump would actually go through with this, even if miller wants it, but i am even *more* skeptical of the idea that youngkin would take the job.

interesting amount of smoke around Schwarber and the Mets right now, but *pretty* sure it's mostly about driving up the price. for the Phillies and sending a message to Pete's camp? Hmm

I get the root thought here but tbh I think the main shared reason driving Labour’s current woes and the rise of Corbyn in 2015 is non-ideological and it’s shared with the reasons for Starmer’s rise in 19/20 too: if you’re shit at your job, alternatives are going to emerge from somewhere

Such distinct, and very bad, US 2016 flashbacks tbh
I could really do without the new trend of 'Starmer breaks his Trappist silence on the alarming deterioration in race relations' being greeted not by people going 'what kept you so long?' or the hotdog meme, or but 'what are you talking about?'

Vance is steeped in how liberals think, having been educated by them, and is dedicated to deploying our rhetoric liberal rhetoric against us in the name of gutter racism. I think it’s that combination that is so enraging.

The Greens are indeed shrewder than the Corbynites, but this is also IMO an *extremely* charitable interpretation of what is fundamentally still an extremely crank foreign policy (because it's fundamentally still a party of cranks). It just happens to not really matter electorally
The problem for Starmer is that the Greens are a damn sight shrewder than the Corbynites in emphasising the need to develop a post-American European military alliance, which is a more realistic appreciation of current political trends in the US than a lot of Labour and Conservative thinking
FWIW, the NATO line worked on Corbyn which is why I suspect that Starmer thinks that it will work on Polanski.

bad actors like wurman are why i think it is important to place the birthright clause in the full context of section 1 and section 1 in the context of both dred scott and the two decades of antislavery and abolitionist agitation and political thinking that proceeded it

This sort of carving up of the national population into discrete ethnic blocks based on familial origins is just so much more profoundly unBritish and antithetical to the Western tradition than *anything* happening in Hackney or Tower Hamlets or Birmingham etc
Fashworth-Hayes now leading the charge in trying to convert the talking point from "people shouldn't have kids they can't afford" to "removing the two-child benefit cap is funding the great replacement" is a sign of things to come

The thing about Sam Ashworth-Hayes is he thinks it's fine and good for kids to go hungry and live in poverty provided they're brown.

My scorching take btw is that all the “waaah Christians getting in bed with Constantine compromised the primal purity of the Church” stuff is some weak shit: they were HUNTING YOU IN THE STREETS; if you have your shot to get the most powerful man in the word on your side, you damn well take it
The Vatican would probably accept this for the concession that Constantine’s church was the Catholic Church
