Um, Tom Stoppard very much did "talk down" to members of his audience who were leftists and it made him a shitty writer. See "The Real Thing". Also his women characters are a mess. See also "The Real Thing." We really have to stop lionizing these guys, even when, maybe especially when, they die.

I just donated to a soup kitchen, unaware of their religious affiliations. Now I’m nervous to find out that they might be horrible. Makes me realize I should probably vet a few local charities because the landscape is different out west.

President Trump unleashed a xenophobic tirade against Somali immigrants on Tuesday during a publicly broadcast cabinet meeting, calling them “garbage” he does not want in the U.S. as he sought to refocus public attention on his anti-immigration rhetoric.

Yeah - the white veneer over country music makes it almost inseparable from Christian nationalism at this point. Hard nut to crack, no matter the bona fides in your back pocket 🫣

Disappointed to see this. 160 union workers are fighting for a fair contract at Individualized Shirts, a US factory that makes high-end men's button-ups. The managers there have rejected the union's request for fair wages and health insurance. The union is asking for support 🧵

Gaslighting of the first order.
Hillary Clinton blames TikTok and “totally made up” videos for young people’s views on Israel and Palestine.
She says social media influenced “not just the usual suspects” but also “young Jewish Americans who don’t know the history and don’t understand.”
