Anyway, I see the paper’s leadership running the same playbook they ran against Biden in retaliation for his not granting enough interviews: after relentlessly attacking Mamdani with unfair standards they don’t apply to any other mayor or candidate, now they rage that he won’t genuflect to them.

I see two things going on: 1) Like blogosphere coverage 25 years ago, the NYT seem miffed that he isn’t relying on their pretty openly racist metro reporters to get messages out; 2) Mamdani is a model for how Democrats can evade hostile media gatekeeping to engage more effectively with voters.

Once again observing that the awed reverance that our society's elites supposedly had for Supporting The Troops when that was being used to bolster support for wars in Iraq and Afghanistan was complete bullshit. Trump shits all over dead troops and they celebrate him. It was all a huge joke to them.

The content of the "controversial" tweets was "9/11 was bad, and the invasions led by the US after 9/11 were also bad." In other words, two positions that are not merely anodyne but overwhelmingly majoritarian. CBS is a disgraceful propaganda operation

It is genuinely bizarre that we’ve become acclimatized to right wingers throwing a tantrum every time a black person (particularly a black woman) is cast in something, but are also supposed to pretend that this is not racism but related to some other substantive concern.

Despite the whining about “ historical accuracy,” the racist backlash to the casting in Nolan’s Odyssey is about the right wanting to justify racial hierarchy by projecting it into a past where it did not actually exist. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

When some on the right speak of reverence for “civilization,” what they’re doing is trying to anachronistically justify the hierarchy of race they would like to see enacted today by rooting it in antiquity. You cannot cast Black people in The Odyssey, because The Odyssey is a pillar of “Western civilization,” which they consider to be white. This faction of the far right imagines antiquity as a kind of idyllic Jim Crow universe of utterly separate civilizations, one in which the integration they despise could not possibly exist.

But Greece is not as far from Africa as the North American continent is, and the modern construct of race, a pseudoscientific product of the Atlantic slave trade, would not be invented until thousands of years after Homer. Black people are depicted in Greek art. Egypt, Libya, and “Aethiopia” are frequently referenced in ancient writings. As the Black classics scholar Frank Snowden Jr. wrote in the 1970s, at least one of the characters in The Odyssey, Eurybates, is specifically described as “black-skinned and woolly-haired.” As the Stanford classics professor Sarah Derbew notes in her book Untangling Blackness in Greek Antiquity, Black people are referenced in plays by Euripides, Sophocles, and Aeschylus. They also appear in the writings of Hesiod and Herodotus. One of the lost epic poems is The Aethiopis, in which Memnon, the Aethiopian king and an ally to Troy, plays a major role.
