Is the Iranian delegation to the UNGA the first in history to be banned from buying …..luxury goods? I do wonder how much more efficient all UN delegations would be under such a ban? This is the big reform no one ever proposes. 4.7K views · 19 likes · 3 reposts · 4 replies Open on X →

The fight over the Guardian Iran letter is utterly dispiriting. The letter itself is insufferable and ignorant, as is nearly the entirety of the response. The quality of misguided interventions was higher in the 70s, when Allen Ginsberg and Kate Millet were getting things wrong. 10K views · 61 likes · 8 reposts · 14 replies Open on X →
