Had the honor of attending this incredibly cool workshop at Perry World House in U Penn about Iran-Us relations under Trump 2.0 , co-organized by the indomitable duo Marie Harf and Hussein Banai.

After a month on Warpcast, here are some of my observations: -- I love this idea of a network with foundations around a common theme, gives you all a cool sense of togetherness -- I like the tenure here: not too brash like X but not too academic-y and polite like BlueSky -- Some of my favorite posts here are those of artists and photographs sharing their work -- just makes my day sometimes -- also love how many journalists have made it their home and are posting some of their important work here -- I love how posts with links are not de-prioritized -- I love the culture of tipping -- good to show appreciation in a tangible way Thankful to my friend @mazmhussain for inviting me to join and to all of you for giving me such a good welcome!

What do ordinary Iranians in Iran think about talks with the US? My sense: They are mostly too exhausted to be worked up about it one way or another, too battered to allow themselves to be much hopeful... but things will change if and when they get going seriously

In 2007, Iranian TV broadcast Zero Degree Turn, a series centered around a love story between a French Jewish girl and an Iranian-Palestinian boy in WWII-era Paris. Just when Ahmadinejad had made his shameful Holocaust denial headlines of the world, this series depicted the horrors of the Holocaust, showed sympathy with European Jews and affirmed the best traditions of Iranian humanism and anti-fascism

Joe Biden’s economic policies represented a historic break with decades-long bipartisan neoliberalism — but apparently we’ve forgotten that? (Screenshot from @NewYorker @NicholasLemann Nov 2024)

Fun fact: Just the news of Iran and US meeting this week has brought the Iranian Rial up for about 5 percent
