Grrr, gonna miss the stream yet again: gotta drive back down to the city from a friend’s lake house upstate (traffic is gonna be fucking awesome, I can just feel a 1hr+ standstill coming on). Will have to listen on to the stream on tape delay, so looking forward to that.
Re: Rushdie, I can’t believe the relief I felt when I found out he’s likely going to live. I don’t know why, but I had this feeling he was maybe in the clear, and then this happens—a harsh reminder that zealots will hold a grudge as long as it takes, the scumbags.
Mchangama’s Daily News op-ed about Rushdie’s free speech censors a Rushdie quote about defending free speech 👉 “Rushdie, however, was less impressed with those authors who exercise free speech for a living, but felt no solidarity for fellow writers and cartoonists who were murdered in cold blood for doing their job, calling them “p-----s” in “search of a bit of character.” likely the editors at Daily News are spineless cowards. Mchangama shouldn’t have published op-ed if it required quote censorship.

Hope the stream goes well, gentlemen and ladies.
Also Douglas Murray at The Spectator.
"This set of issues and conflicts is fundamental to who we are."
You were talking about yourselves as a podcast, but I just assumed you meant us as human beings. It still stands, either way.

Is this open to all “paying” tiers?
This is my first Second Sunday. What time's the podcast and how do I join in?
The Nobel committee totally missed their chance to honor Rushdie. Fuck them. Why am I surprised?
Won't make it, again. Look forward to getting it done one of these days
