Pamela Paul is out on the NYT opinion page! In her honor, re-upping this piece, which typified her approach - a lack of substantive knowledge of the topic, faux intellectualism combined with a tabloid desire to solicit outrage. open.substack.com/pub/donmoyni...

Snap elections in Iceland 🇮🇸 today. I was pleased that my problem this cycle was too many parties that I wanted to vote for rather than not a single one to be excited about. Lots of uncertainty about who will win and which parties will make it into parliament make for an exciting election night!

Fascinating stuff. As someone who once lived on a block now identified by five different names, only two of which I ever remember hearing, I hope the NYT (or someone) does this again in 10 years to see how much has changed.

Cutting text from a paper for length (fourth iteration) is a strong contender for the worst part of my job. There is no more fat left to trim, it's all things I want to keep at this point! 😫🌐

Anyone on Polisky have recs for textbooks for background reading in a class on International Organizations (MA-level)? I have some ideas, but would love to learn what you are using! Would be ideal if focus was more on the orgs themselves than generally on global governance, but open to everything!
