This is a really cool article about how NYC’s steam heat systems, the one most older buildings have with the clanking radiators, actually work. I love the advertisement linked to within, with old gas tank like late great ones in Maspeth (once visible from the LIE), looming above.
Yes! Read this. vitalcitynyc.org/radiator-st…

This week the @NewStatesman takes a stand. Some of our most important writers and artists join with us in calling for Sally Rooney's books to be available.
In my view, this is indirect censorship. Here's my essay exploring the free speech issues involved:

Thrilled to be in @ftweekend with a four-page spread, adapted essay from my new book The Best Kind of American. My research and interviews help reveal the fate of the four Iranians who went missing in Lebanon in July 1982.

Wonderful to see Fela's son @RealSeunKuti play in Brooklyn last night on the eve of what would have been his father's 88th birthday
Interesting piece by Danny on the affinities between Aron and Foucault. I suspect Aron would have found congenial Foucault’s rejection of the Sartrean notion of the “universal” intellectual (F advanced the notion of the “specific” intellectual in its place).
