- The healing power of media lies 16th September 2021I’ve been in hospital over the last few days for a long-planned operation. I would like to take this opportunity to extend my thanks to the Los Angeles Times for its part in my recovery. After my op, for a while my blood pressure was worryingly low. The doctors and nurses, bless ’em, think that […]Natalie Solent (Essex)
- Samizdata quote of the day 16th September 2021The term white feminism, as it is commonly used today, is a classic example of the Kafka Trap. If you show too much interest in the lives of people of colour, you risk being accused of white saviourism — which is another way of saying you have a suspiciously condescending attitude to people of colour.

- Samizdata quote of the day 15th September 2021The quest to eliminate sex in civil society is not just well-funded and wrong-headed, it taps into a dark truth about male power and sexuality. So entrenched are positions on either side of the debate that each word becomes a tribal signifier. As a hard-line feminist, I found the use of preferred pronouns throughout Trans […]Samizdata Illuminatus (Arkham, Massachusetts)

- VISITING THE REMAINS OF BENJAMIN DECASSERES IN TUCSON 31st May 2021by John GrauerholzThere are particular geographic locations that, for one inexplicable reason or another, seem peculiarly enchanting.

No matter how many times I visit Arizona, the city of Tucson has always been an endlessly enchanting landscape. Not a […]Mr. Mean-Spirited

Your medical history only exists to record your physical humiliations. A doctor is not there to cure you, but to cause you as much consternation as possible. A physician’s role is not to heal a patient of your ilk, but […]Mr. Mean-Spirited

- What technological advantage did Russia have in the Russo-Persian wars? 29th May 2021Every summary I’ve read of the Russo-Persian wars notes that the latter held the numerical advantage (particularly since the former were busy fighting the Ottomans & Napoleon), but the former won because of their better technology. These summaries never say what that better technology was. This is well after the Safavid “gunpowder empire” so it’s […]teageegeepea
