Death comes for us all. We are outlived, as Barkandji man Woddy Harris would have it, by Mother Nature, who holds us in something that I think he would liken to ‘eternity’. By what logic, then, must Mother Nature also die? The Barkandji in Wilcannia and nearby Menindee had been protesting and putting their effort […]
“I’m skeptical. The odds are that Mamdani’s victory is actually less significant than you think.” — Ross Douthat, New York Times

I was as surprised as anyone about the election results. The polls were a little too unified, so obviously, I assumed it was a conspiracy. But I now have to accept reality. He will be our next mayor. But before we jump to any conclusions about what this means for the future of the party, let’s remember: He was up against a deeply flawed candidate.
His opponent was universally despised. And that’s our bad. But how could we have known that voters were tired of old sexual predators? Still, with the benefit of hindsight, we acknowledge that we should have run a more pleasant and authentic candidate. Or at least, someone we could make authentic with enough media training.
Congressional Democrats from the Empire State are less than enthused about New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani.

Kathy is a soon-to-be-retired small animal veterinarian in the greater Des Moines area. She was once reviewed as a top veterinarian for rats on a local rat forum. In her office, she has a preserved dog heart suspended in fluid filled with heartworm. She once gave this heart to her nephew, my cousin, for keeps, but her sister made him return it since it was too horrifying to have in their home.
Kathy is nothing if not entirely secure and confident in who she is, which I think would make her the ideal Golden Bachelorette. Recently, at a friend’s wedding, my mom drank a large amount of wine provided by a random older gentleman. When we pointed out to her that if she were to start dating again, she would have an easy time finding older men, she said, “Yes, Emily, I know.”

My old boss, the TGWU leader Jack Jones, always used to say that pensions were deferred wages. As such, they are as much a trade union and a class issue as anything else the movement might discuss. But to be honest, whenever motions on pensions have been debated at trade union conferences I’ve been to, […]
