We’re not crying for you, we’re giving the money to Argentina

We’re not crying for you, we’re giving the money to Argentina

The president is getting a tacky new ballroom, the inept Argentinian leadership gets a blank check, and if you need help to feed your family you’re out of luck: The Trump administration won’t tap emergency funds to pay for federal food benefits, imperiling benefits starting Nov. 1 for nearly 42 ...

Election of the Day

Election of the Day

Javier Milei is not on the ballot today; this is something of an American-style midterm election. But of course his agenda and leadership, and assessments thereof, will obviously play a major role in today’s outcome. As with the US, 1/3 of the Argentinian Senate is up. Argentina has 24 Senate prov...

A House of Dynamite – Review

A House of Dynamite – Review

This review probably contains spoilers. If you worry about such things, don’t read it. Geoff Brumfiel has capably summarized a few reactions relating to the authenticity of “A House of Dynamite.” That’s not what I’m writing about. Another thing to get out of the way is the device on which ...

NFL Open Thread: Break up the Colts edition

NFL Open Thread: Break up the Colts edition

Here is something I absolutely did not see coming: The Indianapolis Colts, a team that finished 8-9 in 2024 and hasn’t made the playoffs since the 2020 season, currently sport the NFL’s best record at 6-1, and they have the NFL’s best offense by a runaway margin. Through Week 7, the Colts rank...

The Failure of Big Law

The Failure of Big Law

This is much more Paul or Scott’s beat than mine, but this is worth noting–Big Law is completely complicit with Trumpism and the rise of American fascism: The largest law firms in the United States have been far less likely to challenge President Donald Trump’s policies than they were during h...

The Irish Sprint Left

The Irish Sprint Left

One of the most remarkable political stories in my life is the transformation of Ireland from the most church dominated and one of the most conservative nations in western Europe to a secular nation with no time for the world’s bu****it. I was in rural Ireland in August and at a crossroads bar–t...

The Bolton Case

The Bolton Case

Mileage of course will vary but worth taking a look at this argument on the John Bolton indictments: You should question whether these charges would be brought if Trump weren’t president. Officials in Joe Biden’s administration passed on the chance to do so. And Bolton has plenty of basis to a...

Erik Visits an American Grave, Part 1,998

Erik Visits an American Grave, Part 1,998

This is the grave of John Panozzo. Born in 1948 in Chicago, John Panozzo and his twin brother Chuck became super interested in music as kids as they grew up in their postwar Italian-American family, which moved to the suburbs shortly after their birth, as did so many now-white ethnic families. John....

Trump to impose tariffs as punitive measure against accurate commercial

Trump to impose tariffs as punitive measure against accurate commercial

The threat has been made real: The U.S. will impose an additional 10% tariff on Canada, President Trump said on Saturday, a punitive measure in response to an ad campaign that he said misrepresented comments by former President Ronald Reagan. “Because of their serious misrepresentation of the...

LGM Film Club, Part 510: A Voyage to Cebu

We continue our tour of colonization through film footage by looking at this 9 minute 1930s travel piece on Cebu, Philippines, which pretty much consists of lionizing Magellan (who died there) and talking about current industry such as h**p, all under a theme of “Learn about Your Colonies” for w...

Music Notes

I was very happy to see Big Thief at the MGM at Fenway in Boston this week. I had seen Adrienne Lenker twice before solo, once totally by herself at Big Ears in one of my favorite performances I’ve ever seen (she had the entire crowd of about 2,000 completely in rapture–you could hear a […]

It’s time to shut down Yale Law School until etc.

It’s time to shut down Yale Law School until etc.

Mr. Amy Chua, everybody: The Free Press, newly representative of that strata now that its editor-in-chief also runs CBS News, provided a handy example on Thursday, with a piece by Yale Law School professor Jed Rubenfeld titled, “Trump’s Been Bombing Boats in the Caribbean. Is This Legal?” a...
