For the NYT I wrote about Ed Sheeran, the fantasy of political neutrality and the politics of self-interest www.nytimes.com/2026/09/21/o...

Celebrities use the facade of neutrality as shelter, as a place to take refuge.

The chances of going to university still depend far too much on where you grew up. Our analysis of UCAS #ResultsDay data shows 43% of 18-year-olds in London have been accepted into university, compared with just 25% in the North East

DTF St Louis is sublime? Why didn’t it break through more? It’s NOT what I thought it was. Beautifully crafted. Much artier and weirder than I thought it would be. Highly recommend. Need to know about why the police station is unnecessarily wonderful - like a theatre set for a Kafka adaptation. Love

Kimberlé Crenshaw did me the honor of meeting with my class today and I sure hope my students understand they met with a legend. She was so gracious and erudite. Just an all around delight.
