@shahin_saif @WTAFinalsRiyadh @Wimbledon Iga wasn’t bad this week. Two opponents playing first strike tennis on serve AND return in suitable conditions and doing so at the highest level. As usual, the area where Swiatek needed to find some relief is her serve. Really tough against those two.

.@Gill_Gross if you’re following @WTAFinalsRiyadh, any thoughts on Iga’s game and where it is now compared with @Wimbledon?
The Amanda show continues! 🤩 @AnisimovaAmanda battles back to defeat Swiatek 6-7(3), 6-4, 6-2. #WTAFinalsRiyadh

I can’t in good conscience continue to work for Reuters given their betrayal of journalists in Gaza and culpability in the assassination of 245 our colleagues.

I once wrote an oped in @TheHinduNews arguing that #Pakistan and #Israel are fundamentally similar nations. Their shared fondness for #Trump shouldn’t surprise anyone.

It was a pleasure to share my research at #asen2025 on the role of bottom-up #digital nationalism — or what I call “user-generated nationalism” — in online hashtag wars between pro- and anti-Trump partisans. Looking forward to another day of insightful talks. #AcademicTwitter

Make no mistake about it. The Democrats laid the groundwork for the repression on university campuses we see today. Like the Old McCarthyism, the New McCarthyism has its roots in anti-Left ideology embraced by white elites across the political spectrum. This is a great article
