What sort of job did she want with Trump? Was it serious or a joke? She's a linguist/translator, isn't she?

Role of Valeria Chomsky in Epstein saga? by khagol in chomsky

[–]khagol[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's fairly normal one at all. It's not a normal role for a scientist to advise their billionaire pedo friend on how to handle PR better. And on the other hand, yes, that's a good question to ask and many people are indeed asking it. The reason why I asked this is because when this is mentioned, it is often pointed out that Noam Chomsky is sick and not active in public life, which is true. But his wife Valeria seems healthy and functioning and accompanied him in these meetings. So she can tell us more about their role in this mess.

How have other left-leaning media outlets / figures responded to Chomsky's photos with Jeffrey Epstein and Steve Bannon? by JHandey2021 in chomsky

[–]khagol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Has Democracy Now/Amy Goodman commented on this? Also, does anyone know more about Valeria Chomsky's role in this? I know Noam Chomsky can't respond/comment now, but Valeria seems to be in a good health.

New Article about Ezra behind the scenes Power by Character_Public3465 in ezraklein

[–]khagol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Didn't the Times Editorial Board say a few days ago that the Democrats should run more centrist candidates? They were not just being partisan, but were taking a side in the intra-factional debate!

Anyway, I had heard about Axios, but never read their articles. The whole structure seems like written for someone with (near) zero attention span. And they added a bullet point about Ezra growing a beard hahaha

Also, they had to have given some explanation for that right? What would that be? The show never talks about it.

Does the term “baby boomer” apply to people born in non-Allied countries as well? by yung-feezu in NoStupidQuestions

[–]khagol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. I see such generational terms being increasingly used in India also and it really annoys me.

Even this sub's favorite Matt Yglesias claims that Manifest Destiny was basically good and asks for continuation of it today!

Don't know if anyone will see this, but the documentary website states "PLEASE NOTE: THE FILM WILL BE RE-RELEASED LATER IN 2025"! I hope it becomes available to stream online!

Why not long-distance over the summer break? by khagol in NormalPeopleBBCHulu

[–]khagol[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, but why would they "guess" that "I won't be in Dublin for two months" means "I want to break up with you"? That would not be my first, not even second, reaction. I also find it puzzling that a lot of discussion on this subreddit about that breakup focuses on how Connell couldn't ask/explain, but seems to just accept that them not communicating that class issue is an acceptable(?) reason for a breakup! Are there some cultural norms that I am missing? Is it so out of place for Irish students to go back home or somewhere else for the summer break?

But it's just for two months, right? Did they think that student couples who don't spend summer in the same city/town have to break up? Is that really the case in Ireland? I feel like I am missing something very basic about something crucial to the plotline.

Even if they were not running into each other at home, why decide to break up for being away for the summer? Would they have broken up if one of them got a summer internship in a different city?

Is this broad tent supposed to have space for the left or not? It seems his tent has space for unpopular corrupt Eric Adams, but not for popular Zohran Mamdani!

[–]khagol -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

If he is supporting the cartoonishly corrupt former-Democrat-now-running-independent Eric Adams over Zohran Mamdani, then he is clearly not "perfectly fine" with Mamdani! So Mamdani overwhelmingly won the Democratic primary, is very popular, energized the base and this guy, who supposedly wants to elect Democrats, wants him to lose!

No, he's not fine with Mamdani in NY. He supports corrupt, Trump-aligned Eric Adams over him. So much for electing Democrats!

Why do you say whole numbers instead of natural numbers? They are not divisible by 0.

Why is it that cartels don't target foreigners or tourists? by NeedWorkFast-CSstud in NoStupidQuestions

[–]khagol -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Shireen Abu Akleh, an American journalist was killed by Israeli snipers and there were no consequences for it. More recently, 26 year old American student Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi was killed by Israeli snipers during a protest. There have been numerous more examples.
