Two years ago I had lunch with the dean of a department at one of Toronto’s major universities and she told me she had instructed all her profs teaching first-year classes to do exactly this. It sounded sensible and I wonder if it’s now more widely applied

In NYC, as in Canada as I noted earlier, LBJ progressivism is giving way to FDR progressivism
🚨 👇🏽One low key brilliant savage underappreciated move was @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social turning Trump into an FDR fan and making him appreciate the New Deal and how government helping people is good actually

This is not one of those occasions where activists are calling on a leader to “mention human rights” in the background of talks. This time it’s not at all in the background

The solution to the entire housing affordability crisis = making more of those green-brown dead bits look more like the lively spiky bit in the centre

Opposition to CCTV video, like opposition to vaccination, has shifted very rapidly from being a left-wing thing to being a right-wing thing, in both cases with the help of insane conspiracy theories
This is conspiracy theory stuff. China doesn’t need to spy on baby monitors to know what Americans are doing. They can just open Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, or one of the many apps that Americans use to share the kind of information that two generations ago couldn’t be waterboarded out of them.
HINSON: As a mom, I think about watching a baby monitor. That's a very intimate moment with your baby and to think the Chinese could be spying on your morning routine
BARTIROMO: Why are they spying on moms?
HINSON: They just want to know what Americans are up to to undermine our way of life

NEW: Gregory Bovino is exactly who E.B. White — author of 'Charlotte's Web' — warned us about.
DHS named its North Carolina anti-immigrant effort "Operation Charlotte's Web." In 1940, White wrote of the "smell" that "rises" from those who "adjust to fascism" over freedom.

Lost in the tumult is the fact that he put a sign on the door of the Oval Office. Not that it is poorly gilded plastic with a typeface last used for drag-queen wedding invitations in 1983. That he felt it needed a sign. Like the Eiffel Tower needing a 30-meter neon sign reading “The Eiffel Tower”
