Ed Park delivers banger upon banger in his brilliant collection, "An Oral History of Atlantis," out next week from @randomhouse. Come for the mysterious Hans de Krap; stay for the lesbian assassin and the 18 (or 19?) Tinas. Here's my rave for @latimes: latimes.com/entertainment-…
I'm with him.
The mass starvation & killing of Palestinians in Gaza at the hands of the Israeli gov’t is a chillul hashem, a desecration of God. Jewish leaders who criticized Zohran Mamdani for three words he doesn’t use should raise their voices loudly here as well.forward.com/opinion/757549…
We paid for this. Thread.
As a longtime humanitarian who has battled famines and hunger crises, I fear that starvation in Gaza has now passed the tipping point and we are going to see mass-scale starvation mortality. A thread on famine momentum, famine response, and what it means for Gaza today.
News is unbearable so I'm self-medicating with family and books.
For almost two full years, Democratic and Republican elites have worked together to make it as hard as possible for anyone to criticize this.
The food, medicine and aid are IN Gaza. The @UN won’t distribute it. Hundreds of truckloads are sitting there. The trucks are loaded. Demand they deliver. Yesterday, Hamas again rejected a U.S.-brokered ceasefire deal that Israel accepted. Where’s your unequivocal condemnation?

This is why the establishment fears him. Straight-up infectious NYC energy.
WU-TANG FOREVER 👐🏽
Thomas Massie has proven a more reliable partner for the anti-war left than Chuck Schumer or Hakeem Jeffries will ever be. currentaffairs.org/news/thomas-ma…
I adore @SophieElmhirst's "A Marriage at Sea" and you will, too! Just out from @riverheadbooks. Here's my rave for @WSJ: wsj.com/arts-culture/b…
"A Marriage at Sea is a transfixing, beautiful work, its deeper currents steering us forward, whether we realize it or not." Read @HamiltonCain's dazzling review of @SophieElmhirst's new book, A MARRIAGE AT SEA, for @WSJ at the link below👇 bit.ly/4540CLs
Zohran Mamdani won Dan Goldman's Congressional District (NY10) by thirty-seven percent (68.2% to 31.8%). Goldman won a split primary in 2022, earning only 18.5K votes (26%); whereas Mamdani won 95K votes in NY10. Notably, Goldman has not endorsed Mamdani.
Annexation would destroy the Democratic party and further alienate American gentiles whose tax dollars are funding this abomination. Which may be the plan anyways.
Smotrich on Army Radio now: I'm working meticulously the last two years in Judea and Samaria to implement de facto annexation. Slowly but surely, we'll get to formal annexation.
The Final Map ! — You can see the Commie Corridor + Hillside Avenue from space — Mamdani blitzed Cuomo in Harlem, Hamilton Heights, & Bed-Stuy — Cuomo holds the UWS & UES, but submits a poor showing in Manhattan A new map of NYC: less stratified by race, more by housing and age
PRECINCT LEVEL RESULTS FOR THE FINAL ROUND ARE OUT!!!! Blue is Zohran, Yellow is Cuomo!
Trump won’t bring back manufacturing and is abdicating development on the technological frontier and knowledge economy. The US economy will float along on foreign tribute, cannibalized boomer wealth, bloated security services, rentier tech and remnant fossil extractivism. Bleak.
