If you book a hotel for $200, you should pay $200.

Today, we shut down hotel junk fees and surprise credit card holds. The price you see is the price you pay.

Turns out, Anti-DEI kills art. When people complain and moan about having black people in video games, genuinely good video games will be canceled or shafted as a result.

Mamdani gave a shout-out to β€œPalestinian New Yorkers in Bay Ridge who will no longer have to contend with a politics that speaks of universalism and makes them the exception.”

And signals a move away from β€œthe frigidity of rugged individualism to the warmth of collectivism.”

The Dubai chocolate trend was a marketing tactic to make "Dubai" part of the social media lexicon and thereby normalize people talking about it in a positive context, rather than the truth of that place being a place built and sustained on slavery and genocide in Sudan

Mamdani went straight to work.
He revoked all executive orders signed by former mayor Eric Adams that were signed after his criminal indictment in September 2024.

Despite what we are often told, this line from Mamdani’s inauguration speech is what true pragmatism actually looks like:

β€œBeginning today, we will govern expansively and audaciously. We may not always succeed. But never will we be accused of lacking the courage to try.”

There are a hundred literacy lessons that are central to building the skill, but the most important one in my life is, "who benefits from me thinking this way?"

Humanities programs have ceded scholarship of the premodern to bad actors on the right. This is a serious problem, not only because it represents a loss of current and future knowledge, but also because it enables white supremacists and Christian nationalists to twist history to their own ends.

Excessive modernism - departments unbalanced towards the study of modern history - is the crop-blight of history departments and has long been so.

Modern history and modernists are valuable and important, of course, but the ratios have long since skewed absurdly in favor of modern history.

This is true. I’m surprised scholars haven’t caught on to this type of scholarship sooner. What are our primary sources for this stuff?

In less than a week, I will be sworn in as the next mayor of New York City. It was only possible because of the more than 100,000 people who volunteered on our campaign. Here’s a story about one of them, my mother.

If you’re wondering why your friends in academia are a little on edge right now, it’s because an eighteen-year-old who hasn’t done the reading, doesn’t look at the assignment, and has does no critical thinking skills more complex than β€œbecause I think it’s in the Bible” can literally end your career

YOU 🫡 would crawl over glass to vote for anyone who isn’t Trump, but, last years election tells us a large % of the country isn’t willing to do that. Ergo we have to come up with a better voting strategy for the future

So, El Fasher looks like one of the worst single event atrocities to happen this century so far, but the evidence has come in such a trickle it seems to only now be getting verified
