He is only a “prominent leftist” to a tiny minority of the perpetually online.

The contents of a building's structure were also very basic (steam-pipe radiator heating, single-paned sash windows, no elevators, simple electrical, etc). So most of the structure that the cheap labor was creating could be seen, as opposed to day where most of the costs are invisible but required.

They just can't get their Kübler-Ross sorted. They're stuck at Denial Anger Bargaining...Denial Anger Bargaining...

Happy 80th birthday to Tim Curry who has always, *always* understood the assignment.

It never occurred to me that liking one meant I was somehow not supposed to like the other. 🤷‍♀️ But my issue is more that I simply don’t think Isa Briones is a very good actor. The portrayal is simplistic and overwrought, without any growth or ambiguity.

‘He’d gaze at the stars and go: I’m gonna be up there one day’: Prince by those who knew him best, 10 years after his death From lurid pranks and late-night drives, to why playing in the Revolution was like joining the marines – Prince’s friends and collaborators recount their memories of one of the music world’s most maje...

Can't believe it's been 10 years. Titan. Genius. Poet.

😂 Henry VIII would be SO pissed!

Foreign Office’s top civil servant Olly Robbins forced out over Mandelson vetting row Keir Starmer understood to have lost confidence in official over decision to override security vetting failure

If he wasn't told, he should have.
If he didn't know, he should have.

But of course Starmer was told; of course he knew. Is there really no one else in the Labour Party who can run the country better than Starmer?

FFS step up.

Ah, the bromance ends when the policies get personal. Trump loved him until he dared tax a certain gold encrusted, monstrous 2nd home in Trump Plaza.

This statue was too controversial for a Dallas airport. Why did the Texas Rangers give it a home? The One Riot, One Ranger statue features a lawman with a complicated past. The Rangers decided to embrace that.

I look forward to this statue being relentlessly and enthusiastically defaced.

Palestine FA officials denied entry to Canada for Fifa pre-World Cup meeting Officials from the Palestine Football Association have been denied entry to Canada ahead of a pre-World Cup meeting of Fifa’s member associations to be held in Vancouver this month

Why is Canada denying visas to Palestinians FA officials?

Fascinating paragraph from Scott Alexander, where he admits he’s the dog that caught the car

Thread detailing Mark Carney’s war on libraries, knowledge, and culture throughout so many parts of society.

His deep cuts to the public service are not in line with the vision he presents of a bold and more independent Canada.

So, so true. And I can point very specifically to the former colleagues who fit that description to a tee. But I don't think the type of university has anything to do with it. I know many prestige institution level idiots.

Way more sense. He's a dilettante and a lightweight. And that's also why it's so laughable that the Maple MAGA crowd are so obsessed in their hatred of him.

He just ain't all that, people. He's a guy eating cup noodles at Coachella.

Canadian Travel Boycott Of U.S. Continues—14 Straight Months Of Declines—Amid Trump Slump Now 14 months in, Canada’s rejection of the U.S. is the most successful tourism boycott in memory.

Don't back down, Canada! And give your Canadian tourism operators some love this summer too.

This is a shameful funding cut! An unbelievably inhumane decision. It's both ineffectual and short-sighted.

Also, you can't blockade something that's already been closed by someone else.

I know the running joke is that Rubio supposedly has multiple jobs but maybe he could try doing Secretary of State stuff once in a while.

Great pics. Top right photo shows how precise and accurate the costume designer was for the Jets and Sharks in the ‘61 West Side Story.

EVs are heavier than internal combustion vehicles. So that’s a problem.

Post from Dale Partridge claiming nobody wants to live in diverse neighborhoods

I quite happily live in a neighborhood where most people do not share my religion, where multiple languages are represented, and where people have come from a lot of different countries.

Bigoted assholes always assume everyone else actually shares their bigotries.

Time capsule!
I don't know. I think Toynbee, from across the pond, believed his PR a bit too much. And NY does care about new vs. old money, Manhattan vs. the outer boroughs. That sense of inadequacy is key to his makeup. But it's interesting to see the preoccupation with Iran went back that far.

Iran War Live Updates: U.S. and Iran Hold Historic High-Level Peace Talks

Just want to remind everyone that just a few years ago, Dems were pilloried by the GOP if they even suggested that the US and Iran should talk to each other. At all. About anything.

New Yorkers knew he was a clown when he didn't really have a national presence yet. We'd been watching his buffoonery and his half-assed, almost always failing, business dealings for decades. I think it's one reason the media (located in NY) didn't take the threat seriously enough at the beginning.

Here we fixed this for you, @wsj.com

We see you trying to help JD pretend he doesn’t have to wear this war when he runs for president. Nope.
