@RestIsPolitics @RoryStewartUK @campbellclaret Do the guests on Leading ever get mad at you for deconstructing them after they leave the presence?

🚨QUESTIONS REQUEST 🚨 What would you like to ask @RoryStewartUK + @campbellclaret ? Domestic or international, timely or timeless - reply with your questions below👇

@RestIsPolitics do the guests on Leading ever get mad at you for the way you deconstruct them and their answers after they leave the show? And do you do so immediately or do you let the interview percolate a bit first?

He argues that slavery is sometimes practiced in situations in which it is not economically advantageous

I think Patterson would disagree with the optimism of the *Dawn of Everything* Davids (as Mary Beard also seemed to). For him slavery is a universal phenomenon rooted in the need to dominate.

@EmpirePodUK what do you think of the thesis of Orlando Patterson in *Slavery as Social Death* that, even more than by economics, slavery cross-culturally is energized by the honor that accrues to the slave owner through the dishonoring of the enslaved?

@NYTGames I can’t find today’s Acrostic in the online Crossword section. I’ve gotten used to solving this online! Has NYT taken that away?

@TheKingCenter can you tell me about parking near the King Center?

@ArkadyMartine do imagos only reach back one generation? Mahit draws on Yskandr’s memories but not on those of any of his predecessors

@sccarlson I never know whether that’s a recommendation or a pan

🔥🔥🔥 This piece is a tour de force.

@ArkadyMartine really enjoying Memory Called Empire, but I have a question. Why do Teixcalaanlitzlim need to send infofiches? Couldn’t they just send each other emails through their cloudhooks? Or is their a narrative need for infofiches?

@GLA_Airport Okay, thanks

@jmarcus51 Hello, The airport does not close. CAM

@GLA_Airport what time should I get to the airport for the 605 am flight to Amsterdam on Delta/KLM on Saturday?

@GLA_Airport I thought the airport was shut until 6 am

@jmarcus51 Hello, for an international flight we would recommend being at the Airport at least 2 hours prior to your flight. CAM

Liking James Shapiro’s Shakespeare in a Divided America. Didn’t know that Ulysses S Grant, posted to Corpus Christi during the Mexican American War, was cast as Desdemona in a production of Othello because of his “girlish” features and diminutive frame images.app.goo.gl/A1wwq1dncQJot8…

@EmilBrunner1 I would have thought that chapter would be shorter

@LauraRbnsn I hate to be a pedant (well no, not really) but I think it should be “garbage chute”

When I lived in Chicagoland on the tenth floor I had a garbage shoot and I didn't appreciate not walking across a parking lot to take out my garbage enough. That's all, I'm sorry about my unappreciated garbage shoot.

@MattThiessenNT The cast of Schmigadoon?
