It's scary what's happening. People who, only 5 years ago, were 25 or 27 at most, are now 30 and in some cases even 33 years old
What does a book cost? Back in 2015 we ran some calculations to figure out what a book costs, what it sells for, and where the money goes. We've done the sums again - for 2023 -and you head here for some grim, but hopefully also interesting, reading: galleybeggar.co.uk/what-does-a-bo…

The Silver Bone bursts to life with rich historical detail, inflected with humour and magical realism. Congratulations to Andrey Kurkov (@AKurkov) and translator Boris Dralyuk (@BorisDralyuk) on their #InternationalBooker2024 longlisting. thebookerprizes.com/the-booker-lib…
This is quite surreal. ‘White Nights’ by Urszula Honek, in my translation, has been longlisted for the International Booker Prize! How exciting! #InternationalBooker2024
“This is painful to watch. But it must be painful to watch”. “20 days in Mariupol” wins an Oscar.

The death of Alexei @navalny in a Russian prison is a stark reminder of the regime’s appalling oppression of dissent. My heartfelt thoughts go out to his family, all democratically-minded Russians, and those bravely fighting for freedom and democracy within Russia and abroad.
I am grateful to @NicholasWroe for this moving profile of @AKurkov, which comes less than a month before of the publication of THE SILVER BONE (@maclehosepress / @HarperViaBooks).

"A luminous love letter to an embattled nation" "wonderfully written... vivid, lyrical passages" Blown away by this review of Night Train to Odesa in today's Observer. Particularly as it's by @lukeharding1968 who is in Ukraine right now, writing brilliant frontline dispatches.
It’s interesting to see when journalists lean into “objectivity” and when those commitments fall away. I’ve consumed a lot of media regarding protests in recent weeks and one of the most striking bits has been the near-universal willingness to speak derisively about protestors.
When protests are not about actually explaining your cause or trying to engage journalists who are there to listen. @Peggynoonannyc describes her visit to Columbia before the raid.
Iga Świątek: „Jestem ogromnie z siebie dumna, że wygrałam ten turniej!”🥰
The skateboarding cow with a “Wisconsin for Palestine” sign was a local celebrity today at Library Mall
You’ve got to be fucking kidding me
This is Leon. He thinks he’s better than you
There is already no Eric Adams news that would surprise me. The Post could report that he got a concussion from falling on his head because he sleeps hanging upside down by his feet to keep his brain full of blood, and I'd be like sure right obviously.
An anecdote passed down to me: once when the New School was occupied by students, members of the grad faculty met in a hotel room to decide what to do. When the police were mentioned, Hannah Arendt said, *in German*—"you never call the police."
Iga Swiatek 7-5, 4-6, 7-6(7) Aryna Sabalenka. An instant, stone-cold classic in the Graf vs. Seles mould of old, with winners galore and both playing at or near their best at the same time throughout. A joy. Swiatek saved 3 Championship points to win her first Madrid title.
The NYPD unquestionably committed more property damage and was a far bigger threat to lives at Columbia than any protester
SCOOP: An NYPD officer fired their gun inside Hamilton Hall during the Columbia raid on Tuesday, Manhattan DA confirms. thecity.nyc/2024/05/02/nyp…
Has @Columbia hit rock-bottom now, or is there still further down we can go? President Shafik and CU's trustees have failed us abysmally. (Also, as per the mayor's press conference last night, the 'outside agitators' myth was just a myth.) Some of our students are still in jail.
Let’s take an inside look at how your @NYPDnews officers safely & professionally restored order at @Columbia & @CityCollegeNY yesterday, after school officials requested our assistance in dispersing unlawful encampments on their campuses & persons barricaded inside their…
Columbia justified arrests of protesters on the grounds that they were disrupting campus life and academics, and now has cancelled campus life and academic anyway.
All final exams, assessments, and other “academic activities on the Morningside Heights campus” will be fully remote for the rest of the semester, University Provost Angela Olinto wrote in a Wednesday email to the Columbia community. l8r.it/c6sk
@benwurgaft Proudly standing shoulder to shoulder with some of the most annoying people I have ever met
One of the best things I learned reading about the Civil Rights Movement is that all movements are imperfect and that those expecting perfection (in strategy, from activists, or in actions) are not only opposed to the movement but often too cowardly to admit it.
For your viewing pleasure, a thread of cats I saw in Istanbul: (1/5)
What they are revealing about US and more broadly Western liberal democracy is that the power of money (donors in this case) often counts more than the opinion of the vast majority, and full force will be used when the two collide.
some of my thoughts about the repression of campus protests scientificamerican.com/article/repres…
I feel like I'm losing my mind a little: people understand that "occupying buildings on campus" is, like, one of the most common forms of studen protest for decades and not some devious new ploy devised by professional anarchist plotters, right?
I live by Columbia. Tonight I went for a walk & saw 10+ blocks rapidly barricaded, dozens of police vehicles flying by, large groups of NYPD in riot gear gathering. I study protest in E Europe. What I saw tonight was some of the most wildly disproportionate policing I've seen 1/
