"Does the U.S. have a right to exist?"
No. Of course not. What kind of question would that be? The people in the U.S. have a right to exist, but the actual state? The government? No. Of course not. What a stupid question, no matter which country you ask it about.

cuomo’s lead against mamdani in the primary shrinks to single digits and suddenly he’s real chatty. he’s even participating in @thecity.nyc’s mayoral debate tomorrow, when just a few weeks ago he didn’t even respond to the invite to @hellgatenyc.com’s. he’s so pathetically transparent.

the low bar for male parenting, at least in public, has been by far the most shocking experience of my full time fatherhood. if i am in the grocery store alone with the 3 yr old and the boy is only not raising hell, EVERY old lady just treats me like i am god. but the looks they give to solo moms...

yeah - the so-called classic in op was this myth portraying jane america as unable to vote their hypothetical lib/dem view cause husband, when, no, the # we see go fascist were in fact always this resentful & authoritarian & parochial & petty & into racism if it feels to golfers like a rebel fad?

I didn't want to write the book in 2022, due to the war. But my sense now is that SNOWBLIND isn't just the story of a lost expedition. It's set against imperial collapse, as Russia spiraled from bad to worse in ways that echo a century later. This story is a cautionary tale for us today. [3/3]

Those who followed me pre-Bluesky know that in 2021 I went on an expedition to Franz Josef Land, hundreds of miles above Siberia. And in February 2022, I was in Russia doing archival research when Moscow tried to seize Kyiv (at which point I left). SNOWBLIND is the book I was researching then. [2/3]
