I want to associate myself with Rashid Khalidi's devastating critique of the Columbia University administration infringement of free speech and blatant bias against pro-Palestinian students. This should not stand in a self-respecting university. It is a disgrace.

'The IDF who my tax dollars are arming is training the cops who will patrol my streets to do counter-insurgency' is a leftist way to approach what's happening, but so is 'when I see a bomb dropped on a child, 'I do not have to ask myself which side I am on.'”

'The crossword was becoming a mass movement in an era of mass movement: the Pennsylvania Railroad printed crosswords on its menus; the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad stocked its seat backs with dictionaries.'

TIL—via a very The New Yorker (that is to say captivating and poetic) essay by Natan Last that students in India in the late 1990s would solve crosswords to prepare for the questions I was then writing and reviewing for the the Verbal sections of the GMAT.

Twenty-six years ago, Mangesh Ghogre began solving crosswords to expand his English vocabulary. In 2022, he came to the U.S. on the EB-1A, sometimes known as the Einstein visa, for his extraordinary ability to write puzzles. nyer.cm/oPCeKCG

“Dosti means ‘friendship’ in Hindi. I didn’t know the term, but I’m glad to have learned it. One day, you might see it in a crossword.” Great piece from Natan Last: newyorker.com/magazine/2023/…

Have we talked about Natan Last’s absolutely gorgeous essay on crosswords and immigration (I am very mad at this headline which fully undersells both the genre and the genius of the piece) newyorker.com/magazine/2023/…

'Lina Khan’s Rough Year: When a liberal star took over the FTC, she was expected to break up big business. Instead, critics say, she’s broken the agency.'
-an actual headline and subheadline that ran one week ago, and has been resoundingly refuted every day since

'As a crossword writer myself, and as the son of an immigrant, I’ve always found world-making through wordplay intuitive, almost fated.'

Wonderful story by Natan Last in this week's The New Yorker about the relationship between American crossword puzzles and immigration.
