TIMES AND SCHOOLS: How serious is Gotham's "literary crisis?"
*THURSDAY, MAY 19, 2022* *And does the New York Times care? *When the mayor announced a major new plan, the New York Times couldn't be bothered.

Instead, the Times assigned a bright young "general assignment reporter" to the project.

Rise of Islam: The 700 Years of Separation Between India and Europe
The Roman philosopher Pliny the Elder has credited the first century BC Greek navigator Hippalus for discovering the monsoon winds. It is believed that Hippalus was the first to discover that the monsoon winds could be used to make a voyage from the Red Sea to India. But Indian sailors and traders had been using the monsoon winds to reach Red Sea ports for centuries before Hippalus. In the time of Alexander, sea trade was flourishing between India and Egypt. The Greek historian, Strabo, has claimed that hundreds of ships laden with goods from India used to arrive in the Red Sea port... read more

Robert Romano: Hours before Elon Musk announced that he is joining the Republican Party on Twitter, writing the Democratic Party had “become the party of division & hate,” he had just strongly reacted to S&P’s decision to remove Tesla from its Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) index. “Exxon is rated top ten best in world for environment, social & governance (ESG) by S&P 500, while Tesla didn’t make the list!

Alberta's Cannibals
If you're a conservative these days, you swim with sharks. And the sharks are cannibals. Carson Jerema writes: Alberta’s governing United Conservative Party has eaten itself. The dismal 51.4 per cent approval rating that led Premier Jason Kenney to announce Wednesday that he will step down is a victory for a long-percolating revolt, one that came mostly from the party’s right wing. But this is no win for conservative politics in Alberta and could signal the movement’s shift further away from where voters are comfortable.
