Why so quick to sink the ship of “identity politics”?
This stream of thought occurred to me this morning, after I read a few pieces heralding the imminent demise of “identity politics” — you know, the political orientation that acknowledges the diversity of our society and addresses the individual needs … Continue reading

Congratulations, America — this week you got exactly what you asked for
I guess it’s time for me to talk about the election. Because… well… it’s the thing to do, this week. I actually got a full 8 hours of sleep last night. The insomnia seems to have abated. For now. Who’s … Continue reading
