I've torn through this book today, and I agree with @samadlerbell.bsky.social -- it's an engaging read, but the presentist linguistic winks at the reader are distracting and offputting. (To be clear, "distracting and offputting" are my words.) www.nytimes.com/2026/09/01/b...

ooof a real dismantling here. when Stamped from the Beginning came out, it seemed there was utility in Kendi's simplification of extremely broad and complex history, but nah, complexity it something to embrace. easy categorization is the enemy of thought.

really good review here by @samadlerbell.bsky.social of Ibram X Kendi's new book on the development of right wing thought Adler-Bell nails the fundamental, non-materialist perspective of Kendi's work and how it allows him to just fly off in 100 directions at once www.nytimes.com/2026/03/17/b...

as @samadlerbell.bsky.social points out, that rush toward simplicity goes hand-in-hand with a startling lack of rigour www.nytimes.com/2026/03/17/b...
By the time I got to learning how the Canadian opposition leader Pierre Poilievre was supposed to represent fighting “for freedom as patriots, like the nation’s founders,” my head was spinning. (Canada does not share America’s reverence for its “founding fathers”; Canadians don’t even agree who their “founding fathers” were.) Reading “Chain of Ideas” ends up feeling like going through an ambitiously organized junk drawer after 10 years of careless use. The compartments are labeled, but everything is all mixed up.

As the New Right movement lurched to MAGA land and full-blown misogyny, some young women have learned trad marriages aren't about protecting and venerating women, they're a place to confine women outside of public life and where they know who the boss is. Good work by @samadlerbell.bsky.social.
