The central underpinning of progressivism is that disagreement with progressivism is a sign of moral failure. Therefore, a white progressive man is perfectly comfortable calling a brown woman "racist" in public for disagreeing with him with no sense of irony.

Antiracism ruins schools and destroys the West. Nikole Hannah Jones makes life impossible for teachers and then blames them for it. Strictly Education explains how: youtu.be/yYcYPKSUIKA?is=MifI…

Another great commentary in @CounterpointBD on the debate over Bangladesh potentially joining the Mecca Pact. Here my friend @osmanmsiddique looks at the larger context and significance of this for a new Bangladesh. counterpointbd.com/Opportuni…

Talk about solving the wrong problem! The problem is not that we have thousands of criminals swanning around unapprehended. The problem is that we have thousands behind bars who have been convicted of no crime and against whom the charges are tendentious to say the least.

Toma does not have the right "credentials" for the job, you say? She never worked as a banker her entire career, is the crusading cry. And this is exactly the kind of thinking and logic that got us into this financial mess in the first place. For decades our banking sector has been run by exactly the kind of people this controversy insists we need: Men with the right degrees, the right postings, decades spent climbing "the system," every promotion supposedly earned on real banking knowledge. So where did all that expertise actually take us? Read more: [Link in the comments]

It's shocking what passes for intelligent commentary in the Indian media

Great conversation with a guy who really knows ball! The World Cup is over but this is still worth watching to get your football fix as you figure out how to occupy yourself before the new season starts lol Counterpoint with Zafar Sobhan | Episode 07 | Shahnoor Rabbani youtu.be/JcPqmQmsf5I?si=77ls… via @YouTube

Americans talking about how they'd dominate football if only they took it seriously but they just don't want to, reminds me of Kramer and the levels. Do they have any idea how lame they sound? lol youtu.be/48ygqP4mwxQ?si=hkKU…

And another ... ! :) Counterpoint with Zafar Sobhan | Episode 06 | Shayan Khan counterpointbd.com/Counterpo…

Ronaldo shouldn’t be in any GOAT debate. There are players like Messi, Maradona and Pele who are in that conversation. Then there are pure goalscorers like Gerd Muller or Zlatan or Haaland. Ronaldo may be the best of all time in that category. That’s the conversation he’s in.

My cat thinks if he walks in slow motion with his belly close to the ground that no one can see him. I don’t know how to break it to him that there’s no underbrush to camouflage him … #masterofstealth

Bangladeshi politics has developed a rather peculiar merit test for women. When men rise to power, they are described as intelligent, strategic, visionary, skilled organizers who understand the game of politics. The moment a woman comes close to power, the entire nation suddenly transforms into an intelligence agency. What follows is a forensic investigation into her body, her private life, and her moral character. Read more: [Link in the comments]

Talking Bangladesh football and the World Cup with our new head coach, Thomas Dooley I'll tell you one thing: This guy is the right man for the job! Tune in to listen to see him and see if you are as impressed with him as I was. Counterpoint with Zafar Sobhan | Episode 05 | Thomas Dooley counterpointbd.com/Counterpo…

There shouldn’t be brackets at the World Cup. The round of 32 draw should be based on group stage record ie the best records get to play the 3rd place teams. The current system is inherently unfair and also gives chance for tanking in the final game to get an easier route.
