May I recommend my book if you want fires, oil spills, eugenics, earthquakes, mudslides, unfriendly neighbors, the mores of the wealthy, beautiful beaches and mountains, and a reference to HBO’s Succession AND the Duchess of Sussex in one tidy package on sale? press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/bo...
The energy I bring to Thanksgiving. Really do recommend the shawarma cauliflower though!
Because I am a Basic B I’m doing Ottolenghi shwarma cauliflower and cabbage with green tahini sauce as a side. More or less for the spice and heat element too.

The British library is in crisis: why does nobody care?
The widespread indifference to the British Library's crippling cyberattack demonstrates a perilous failure to value the knowledge infrastructure vital for national prosperity

I spoke to Mahmood Mamdani about his new book, his expulsion from Uganda, his son Zohran, and *that* NYT article.
Mahmood Mamdani on Zohran, Uganda and forced expulsion: ‘Who is part of the nation and who is not?’
After being expelled from his homeland in 1972, the academic has grappled with questions of political belonging – a major theme of his son’s mayoral campaign

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position
He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

fully 50% of the most recent People Magazine's Sexiest Men Alive (TM) were humanities majors (and the others didn't go to college). Which points to an ongoing crisis in higher education: why are STEM programs taking our tax dollars yet failing to give our young men critical Sexiness skills?!

Excellent morning for the socialist, immigrant, naturalized US citizen who grew up around universities and are erstwhile residents of Astoria, Queens demographic. Namely, well, me.
Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

I’m enormously proud of what the socialist left in the United States has accomplished over the past decade. We’ve gone from nowhere to everywhere, working to build a majority coalition that can defeat fascist authoritarianism by transforming everyday people’s material conditions.
