https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jan/09/iran-plane-crash-terrorism-and-drone-collision-being-explored-ukraine Just a couple of days ago, the world was on the edge of nuclear war created by the U.S. Then came the Iranian attack on an American airbase in Iraq. Amazingly, Donald Trump, who had been beating the drums for a war with Iran, had no initial response to the attack. He was all gentleness. Why? Almost certainly, it was because there was enormous pressure, even from the Pentagon, not to start a war with Iran. NATO was very vocal on the issue. And, almost certainly, Russia a... more »

What happens when your charter school brand is so poisonous that you can't find enough teachers to staff up? Administrators at Booker T. Washington KIPP HS have come up with a self-serving answer: recruit high school students to teach other students. KIPP stands to save millions of dollars when the program is fully operational, and KIPP might even be able to grow its own unique brand of prison guards teachers who may be arm-twisted into coming to work at KIPP once they are actually certified to teach. Meanwhile, students must depend upon other students for what they are taught... more »

Chet Raymo, “The Cosmography of Myself”
*“The Cosmography of Myself”* by Chet Raymo “It was a common conceit of the Middle Ages and Renaissance to think of the human self– body and soul– as a microcosm, a little world made cunningly of elements and an angel-like sprite, a miniature version of the macroscosm, the universe. So-called "correspondences" linked the microcosm and the macrocosm. For example, each of the seven holes in the human head corresponded to a celestial body- Sun, Moon, or one of the five known planets. Astrology articulated a vast system of correspondences between the peregrinations of stars and human l... more »

Labour and the New Working Class

Both are correct, and both are mistaken, but merely observing that is not enough. We have to ask why the left read the election wrong, why the result was unexpected and, more importantly, think seriously abo... more »
