After watching the comedian's smart and incisive assessment of America's daily chaos for years, there's something major to be mourned as he leaves the airLast Thursday, when Stephen Colbert announced on air that CBS had decided to cancel The Late Show, its flagship late-night comedy program, after 33 years in May of next year, I was shocked.For the better part of six years, I have watched every late-night monologue as part of my job at the Guardian (hello, late-night roundup), and though I often grumble about it, The Late Show has become a staple of my media diet and my principle source of news; as a millennial, I haven't known a television landscape without it. There are many bleaker, deadlier things happening daily in this country, and the field of late-night comedy has been dying slowly for years, but the cancellation of The Late Show, three days after Colbert called out its parent company for settling a lawsuit with Donald Trump, felt especially and pointedly depressing - more a sign of cultural powerlessness and corporate fecklessness in the face of a bully president than the inevitable result of long-shifting tastes.

Nobody should expect to go to a huge concert and expect privacy, but the incident is a jarring reminder of the reach of the surveillance state and the internet's insatiable appetite for public shamingI'm not a curtain-twitcher, OK? I'm just a little bit nosy and happen to procrastinate by staring out of the window. Inspiration rarely strikes during these procrastination sessions - but I have absorbed an awful lot of information about my neighbours. Guess what," I'll say to my wife. I think the flight attendant who always puts his trash out when it's not trash day broke up with his boyfriend because I haven't seen him around lately." My wife, meanwhile, never has any idea what I'm talking about and usually tells me to mind my own business.I'm starting to think she has a point. In fact, we should all work a little harder at minding our own business. Because I'm not the only nosy parker out there, am I? Judging by the global obsession with the Coldplay couple, we're all far too invested in other people's lives. Continue reading...

Scholars blame the Palestine exception' to academic freedomIn March 2024, six months into Israel's war in Gaza, education in the territory was decimated.

Democrats need to win back the working class in 2028. Our research shows what does and doesn't workTo win in 2028, Democrats need to win back a lot of working-class voters, including a lot of blue-collar Donald Trump voters. Doing so requires dispensing with some long-held myths that have captured the minds of Democratic party strategists. The first is that persuading working-class Trump supporters is a waste of time. They are - so the story goes - so totally absorbed in Magaland that there is no winning them back. Why bother? On the flip side, some liberals insist that some of these voters are winnable, if only Democrats can make themselves more like Trump by embracing tax cuts and tough talk. A third notion, favored by progressives, says that if liberals just crank the progressive economic message up to eleven, blue-collar voters will come running home.The truth is, none of these strategies are particularly useful. Because none of them take working-class interests, values and attitudes seriously enough. Fortunately, new research from the Center for Working-Class Politics (CWCP) can help shed light on what working-class voters actually want. And it can offer the Democrats a path out of the wilderness.Dustin Guastella is director of operations for Teamsters Local 623 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and a research associate at the Center for Working-Class Politics Continue reading...
Despite their skills, careers and vast amount of knowledge, I often fail to see their adult selves fully formedI am spending a lot of time at my late mother's house, sorting things out, wondering why she had so much asafoetida and thinking about the past. Every time I'm there, my sister asks me to water the garden, and I never do. Then she says: Please, just do the window boxes, otherwise the plants will die," and I still don't. I may come and take the potted plants away, or you could take some, if you want to kill them in your own house?", she says, and still I ignore her, because I don't know anything about gardening. So it follows that, being my sibling, she doesn't either. No amount of evidence to the contrary - her own, frankly magnificent garden - can convince me otherwise.This is a two-way street. She is a fashion designer and exquisite draughtsperson - which I, also, after many decades, have yet to wrap my head around - but she can't drive, and if ever she is a passenger when I'm driving, she is on red alert, pointing out things - mainly other cars, pedestrians, trees - as if, without her intervention, I would plough straight into them. Our brother is a skilled decorator and, when he uses words such as primer" and dust sheet", I can't help looking at him as if a cat is talking. He is a photographer by profession, and, even if we point the same phone at the same object, he creates images that are unfathomably deeper and more pleasing than mine. I look on this not so much as a knowledge base he has that I don't, and more like an act of hocus-pocus. My other brother is a maths teacher, my other sister is a physicist, and I cannot describe how fanciful I find it that they may really be doing these jobs. Obviously, I have to pretend to believe it. I don't even know whether you get wired in childhood to think all knowledge is equally distributed because otherwise it isn't fair, or that every fine difference in skillset is just a question of whoever is younger catching up. But no amount of adulthood can overturn it. Continue reading...
Ruling in university's favor would reverse funding freezes that became cuts as Trump administration escalated fightHarvard University appeared in federal court on Monday to make the case that the Trump administration illegally cut $2.6bn from the storied college - a major test of the administration's efforts to reshape higher education institutions by threatening their financial viability.US district judge Allison Burroughs heard arguments from Harvard and the Department of Justice.

Readers lose out when English-speaking gatekeepers decide what books are sold and whose stories get toldI attended an American writers' conference in Texas, just before the world plunged into Covid-19 lockdowns.
