The Commentary Magazine Podcast - Can Anyone Feel Shame Anymore?

The news that former Trump campaign attorney Sidney Powell is arguing that no one should have taken her claims regarding election fraud seriously suggests an interesting crisis of confidence is upon us.

Time To Say Goodbye - Interpreting the Atlanta massacre

Hello at the end of a sleepless week.

In this episode, we analyze the many responses to the murders in Atlanta — in a spirit, of course, of solidarity.

Should the murders be viewed as a white-supremacist hate crime? An occasion for more policing? Or less?

Are we guilty of assimilating the Atlanta shootings to general headlines about anti-Asian racism? Do we risk losing the specificity of class, gender, and the massage industry in particular?

Were the killings rooted in misogyny and fetishization? In histories of empire?

Are there too many historians on twitter? (yes)

And are geopolitical and economic tensions between U.S. and China in the mix? Is this a moment for solidarity between Chinese, Korea, and other Asian diasporas, or a moment of splinter?

Plus: Tammy reflects on a rally in Brooklyn (thanks to the Patreon Discord chatroom).

I’ve done several episodes pertaining to Ancient Rome. The reason is that so many of the foundational things in our world, from our alphabet to our calendar, to the names of our months, all can be traced back to Rome. During these episodes, I’ve often talked about the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire. However, many people might not realize what the difference is between the two. When did the republic become an empire, and why? Learn more about the Roman Republic and Empire.

The Intelligence from The Economist - Always be their Bibi? Israel votes, again

It’s the fourth poll in two years, but a stable government is still far from guaranteed. We examine the firm grip Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu still has on Israeli politics. In the Philippines, children have been cooped up at home for a year—but citizens seem to buy into the government’s rationale. And the real history of the chocolate chip cookie.
