A neat re-working of the Narcissist's Prayer. Trump's MAGA supporters are little more than his flying monkeys, doing his dirty work by repeating the things they've been pre-programmed to say. His manipulation works well on them because they're towards his end of the spectrum narcissism presents on.

Ah yes, James Orr. A lot of us had been hazy about what it is exactly that associate professors in a divinity department do all day. It doesn’t seem to involve a lot of work: Orr is often to be seen at Reform events in London, which take up the whole morning even for those of us with offices down the road. Now we know he was also sipping cocktails while discussing ways in which wealthy foreigners might be able to get round the laws that ban them donating to the party.

The associate professor of divinity was filmed explaining to an undercover reporter that so long as everyone kept their mouths shut, there was no way that the authorities would ever find out. Orr spent four years as a postdoctoral fellow in theology, ethics and public life at Oxford, and it would be fascinating to know at what point he developed this theory of What the Electoral Commission Don’t Know Won’t Hurt Them. Perhaps he was off sick the day they opened the gospel of Luke: “What you have said in the dark will be h

Social activist, feminist icon, and humanist Gloria Steinem has died this week at the age of 92. In 2016, Sally Feldman reviewed Steinem's autobiography for New Humanist, writing about her fight to keep feminism grounded in real, lived experience rather than academic jargon. As Gloria puts it:
Gloria Steinem: academia didn't create feminism – women's lives did

‘As feminism has changed academia by enlarging what is taught, academia has sometimes changed feminism. Scholarly language may be so theoretical that it obscures the source of feminism in women’s lived experience... One of the saddest things I hear as I travel is “I don’t know enough to be a feminist,” or even “I’m not smart enough to be a feminist.” It breaks my heart.
