yes! I miss NYC a lot. Two of the most important reasons are the ability to walk and use the train. Also, it is the train, not the subway :)

"Sure, fascists are throwing Naxi salutes during their Day 1 speeches at CPAC, but sometimes 19 year-old Gender Studies majors at Oberlin College are a bit preachy about LGBTQ+ rights on social media, so aren't both sides actually the same?"

Folks are shocked that their institutions, after professing commitments to climate justice and DEI, are now caving to Trump and scrubbing all references. It's brutal. And it's the smallest taste of what our students felt when their universities called in the cops b/c they protested a genocide.

Rebecca Solnit, once again, nailed it “pretended he did not know”. From a fellow supporter of liberal democracy to all my American friends do not try to educate them, they know. Stop them. Take the streets. Organize for the next elections. Do not be silent.

Gender is such an immutable, natural binary that we have to enforce it with the full power of the state.

worth saying that vermeule’s view that “separation of powers means the president is an elected despot” is fucking stupid and has no basis in the constitution as written

Ok, I am sick as a dog. Worst muscle pains and back pain of my life, with a fever of 40 most of the time. The best thing to do was to read over-the-top rom-com novellas. So hit me up with your recommendations.

Muhalefet partileri oturuma katılsalar geçemeyecek kanunlar işte böyle geçiyor. Sonra Meclis'i bypass filan. Hayır Meclis'i bypass eden muhalefet partileri. Çalışmıyorsunuz. Bu fakir halkın çalışın diye sizlere verdiği maaşı ve tahsis ettiği ayrıcalıkları hak etmiyorsunuz.

Do not think this will ever topple him. I know because I have been living under Erdogan —remotely for some 13 years— for 23 years. Take the streets before it is too late. The rule of law becomes moot very quickly you will get a whiplash.

i think people who complain about the language police are, by and large, just cowards. say whatever you want! no one is going to stop you. but people may judge you or even, if you say the wrong thing in front of the wrong person, pop you in the mouth. but that’s life!

Screw decades of academic research and public opinion surveys. NYT has its own narrative and just cherry picks statements from some random people to push its preferred "vox populi". Such an awful newspaper.

Today, Turkey lost 66 people to an entirely preventable disaster. In a luxury ski resort, during one of the peak seasons, people died because there were no fire stairs, the fire alarm was not working correctly, and the fire extinguishers were empty.

Listening Davis’ Kind of Blue, reading R.F Kuang’s Babel, and drinking coffee might as well be heaven. You are, once again, right Mr. Borges.

Framing fertility declines as being entirely about women’s choices and not about young women’s AND men’s well-being, opportunities, and sense of the future makes it pretty unlikely we’ll be able to make the types of changes that would lead to higher fertility.

If your concern over violence against women only appears when you talk about immigration but not when you vote for President, I don’t think you actually care all that much about violence against women.

Sektörün koskoca ileri gelenlerinin Ayşe Barım ve Serenay Sarıkaya özelinde dönen “tekel” tartışmasının asıl amacının asla elde edemedikleri kültürel iktidarı, hegemonya ile elde etmeye çalışmak olduğunu anlayamamalarına inanamıyorum. Ki bu Gassal tartışması ile başladı.

We didn’t have a deal thus far because Netanyahu was more afraid of Ben Gvir than Biden and we are on the verge of a deal now because he is more afraid of Trump than Ben Gvir.
