This is about stuff that I see and hear that may or may not get on the radio. Opinions are my own. And there's more @theworld

Keisha Lance Bottoms governor-elect of Georgia is the daughter of soul singer Major Lance.

What does the Democratic win in the US midterms mean for Europe and the war in Ukraine? Joining @MarcoWerman on @TheWorld shortly with reflections from @olgatokariuk @ChathamHouse Tune in: https://t.co/eUBpeo7JHH

Not enough is said about Patrick Stewart’s role as Avery Bullock, the deputy CIA chief on American Dad.

@jeffmason1 The monster mash. With strings.

The unique perspective of Arundhati Roy today on @TheWorld re anti-Modi protests by the satirically-named Cockroach Janta Party. "The atmosphere is simultaneously hilarious and full of apprehension...a situation of a country of a billion and half people brought to its knees."

[BOBI WINE @HEBobiwine]

I joined @TheWorld's @MarcoWerman to discuss why leaders who cling to power at the expense of their people remain one of the world's greatest threats, and why Uganda’s struggle for freedom deserves urgent global attention.

Kindly listen to the interview here:

@NTarnopolsky Remembering. I’m very sorry, Noga.

[Marco Werman @MarcoWerman]

@ShaneRyanHere @RamInNews 1. Totally agree.
2. Disappointing that the Fox commentators were barely touching on this if at all.
3. The bad mojo of the red card episode feels very similar to the pall cast by Trump attending Knicks-Spurs game 3.

@docrussjackson Just pointing out that one outlet was on this story, and we noted the US-Belgium connection to Lumumba’s assassination @TheWorld back in January:

Extraordinary reading but no longer surprising.

If you ever doubt how magical this world is, one day you will decide to go to a World Cup watch party in Oakland that you found online to root for a country where you spent two years trying to coax English out of the mouths of Cape Verdean teenagers. 1/7

Wat to go, Ghana! What a terrific match! #worldcup #ghana

[Marco Werman @MarcoWerman]

GHANA!

DRC equalizes with Portugal just as halftime hits! #WorldCup #DRC

You used to be able to stick up some rabbit ears and watch sports. Now you have to compete with this isht.

[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

Let me get this straight.

Howard Lutnick, Trump’s Commerce Secretary, got caught lying about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Democrats grilled him about it and finally got him to agree to testify before the House Oversight Committee.

Four weeks later, Lutnick wrote a $5 million check to the super PAC that funds House Republicans, including members who sit on that committee. Then he showed up for a closed-door interview where, despite pushback from Democrats, no cameras or recordings were allowed.

This is the most corrupt administration in American history and it’s not even close.

@MapsAfrican @AfricaFirsts This is so generalized that it’s wrong. Take a country like Togo. Smart sociologists see it as 80% Christian, 20% Muslim and 100% animist. It’s more complex than north of the Sahara is green and south is yellow.

@NickKristof @peterson__scott @SangerNYT Treason? Then what?

💥The definitive, complete report on Hamas' sexual crimes has finally come out– and the Israeli government has nothing to do with it. Zero. It was again a privilege to discuss such tough issues with the top-notch @MarcoWerman & @JoyHackel on @TheWorld. https://t.co/3FVBITBf24

[Arnaud Bertrand @RnaudBertrand]

Wow, Wendy Sherman - Deputy Secretary of State in the Biden administration - admits that what happened in Gaza was "a genocide":

So you now have senior officials from the very administration that armed and enabled it calling it a genocide - and probably saying so because they know they'll face zero consequences for it. Heck, she'll probably even be praised as "courageous" for admitting her administration helped kill tens of thousands of children...
