Something or other

Elisabetta Brighi (Westminster): The Globalisation of Re-sentment: Failure, Denial and Violence in World Politics. Want world peace? Bring women to the table. Alex Zielinski on the ethical risks of engineering mosquitoes into extinction to stop Zika. Purge the New York Times op-ed page: The paper of record has let its opinion columns degrade into self-parody. Former Mexico president Vicente Fox had a strong message for Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump: Mexico is “not going to pay for that fucking wall”. Biden to Mexico: Sorry about that whole Trump thing.

Hillary Clinton once had a cat named Isis.
