Btw, for those who don't know my sordid past. One PART of my academic work was figuring out how "novels" (like Count of Monte-Cristo) interacted with the "news" on the same front page they were published on. My obsession about front pages goes back over 200 years.

BREAKING!! Front page NYT!!!!

Think I'm a pretentious asshole on Bluesky? (You might not be wrong.) Ask my why I think Count of Monte Cristo is mischaracterized as a "novel." 🤪
in reply to emptywheel

Me: COMC should be considered a "roman [novel]-feuilleton [indicating it was published in the feuilleton section]. Why: bc novels tend to be about omniscient narratives describing private space. Romans-feuilletons narrate public space and do something else with the narrator.

Nah, those are labelled "self-hating Jews". Even though they hate Netanyahu and his cronies, not themselves...

The recognition should not be conditional on the lack of a ceasefire, of course.

"The new party from Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana has already had almost 600,000 sign ups. To put that in perspective, the Labour Party had 564,443 members at its peak during the Corbyn years when it was the biggest party in western Europe."

"As Zarah Sultana pointed out in an interview with Novara Media, we were told to leave Labour so we did, and now we are told we are splitting the left-wing vote, but we are the left and we are taking all of those votes."

"Around the world, authoritarian regimes are increasingly using religion not just as a cultural instrument but as a strategic pillar of political consolidation. This strategy—in which states co-opt religious institutions to lend moral legitimacy to power, stifle dissent, and craft nationalistic narratives—is now a fixture of the authoritarian playbook."

in reply to William Lindsey

"Authoritarian regimes don’t just politicize religion: they reconstruct it to consolidate power, recognizing that spiritual legitimacy shapes identity, loyalty, and meaning. By reengineering faith through state-approved narratives, reincarnation claims, or religious law, they strip believers of spiritual agency and frame dissent as heresy."
