قصه‌ی پر دردِ علیرضا سپاهی که قبل از رفتن پای چوبه‌ی‌دار سکته قلبی کرد در سی‌ان‌ان…. رسانه‌های جهان در مورد ماشین اعدام در ایران سکوت کردند، اجازه ندهیم. در حد توانم تلاش می‌کنم در برابر این به سکوت و سانسورِ کشتار و اعدام جوانان ایرانی بایستم.

The latest in the Trumpite series of proposed oversized buildings is a so-called triumphal arch, though exactly what triumph so needs an arch is unclear, Adam Gopnik writes. newyorker.com/culture/dept-o…

⚠️ URGENTE: Borhan Sami Kia, de tan solo 18 años, se enfrenta a la pena de muerte por protestar contra el régimen. Carece de apoyo familiar. Hoy han ejecutado a 15 prisioneros. Su vida está en peligro. Sé su voz. Hazlo viral.

Message from inside Iran: Please help us. The situation here is horrific. It is a full scale war. The regime’s forces show no mercy. They shoot protesters in the head and heart and even finish off those already wounded on the streets. In hospitals the wounded are being kidnapped and killed. Masih please tell the world we need help 💔 #IranRevolution2026 #Iran

Tim Miller: “I will not be fucking gaslit by these people. I will not tone down the rhetoric. Jonathan Ross murdered her. She talked to him calmly, said dude I’m not mad. This is fucking insane. This is not a tough call. He orphaned her child and called her a fucking bitch after he killed her. Do not let Donald Trump, and JD Vance, and Kristi Noem, and these thugs try to convince you this is anything other than murder”

Adam Gopnik's memoir on the NYC 80s: "we all read Trump at that time as a performer and entertainer. We didn’t understand that with a crazy narcissist there is no put-on, there is no performance—it’s just psychosis going on and on.” macleans.ca/culture/adam-gop…

Adam Gopnik's memoir is part love story set in 1980s New York - Macleans.ca

We recommend @NewYorker’s look at Adam Gopnik’s essay on Wisława Szymborska—the enduring wisdom of her view of everyday heroism and what it teaches us about resisting tyranny. In 2026, it’ll be 30 years since she won the Nobel Prize. 🔗 bit.ly/4qisYuL

It's truly bonkers that Pete Hegseth would try insulting Sen. Kelly by drawing attention to his long, illustrious, heroic military career. But then again, what do you expect? Hegseth is a very sad little boy. He should stick to what he knows because heroism ain't it. /thread

I feel so lucky to have had Rachel Cooke as a friend and colleague in recent years. She was one of the best: funny, kind, clever, a truly exceptional writer, and a loyal sister-in-arms to the feminists of Kings Place. We’ll miss her so much. Thank you to Tim Adams for writing this beautiful tribute to her. observer.co.uk/news/national…
