8 d. ago Death threats and accusations: the professor targeted by the US far right

Mark Bray has become one of the highest-profile people caught up in Donald Trump’s efforts to target AntifaBaggage dropped and boarding passes in hand, Mark Bray and his family cleared security at Newark airport in early October. Their flight to Spain was meant to ferry the family of four to safety after days of mounting threats; instead, as they waited at the gate to board, they were told that someone had cancelled their reservation.“It felt like I was being watched and laughed at,” said Bray, a professor at Rutgers university who teaches a course on the history of antifascism and in 2017 wrote a book on Antifa. “I knew it was politically motivated one way or the other.” Continue reading...

1 week ago ‘It’s not in our genes to give up’: Veljko Paunovic on coaching Serbia and how England changed him

The head coach heads to Wembley with a tough battle to qualify for the World Cup on his hands as he recalls his career pathVeljko Paunovic’s right hand moves in a wide, smooth arc: up, around and down. “This tends to happen to me a lot,” he says, eyes following his finger as it traces a curve. It is his first day as Serbia’s coach and he is waiting for his players to arrive, entrusted with an “urgent mission” that brings him back again, all the way to when he was a boy. “I tend to close circles, and this could be another. There’s a connection there: my career outside the country, going to Spain, round the world, then returning. And this first game, the link to the legacy left by my dad, to what I inherited from him.”Growing up, there were three games Paunovic recalls his father talking about most, matches that resonate in his mind. Blagoje Paunovic, a defender who played 39 times for Yugoslavia and became a coach, told his son about being invited to play in Pelé’s farewell at the Ma...

2 w. ago More than a third of whisky drinkers are female. Time for the industry to wake up to women

Female founders and master distillers are making waves in the whisky world –and more women are consuming it tooWhy wait for International Women’s Day to celebrate women? A commemorative day is a good excuse, true, but we don’t need to wait to recognise the contributions of female and female-identifying individuals to the drinks industry. Right? Right.When I put out a call on my social media to ask for the contacts of inspiring women who work in whisky, my inbox was flooded with names, press releases and, most hearteningly, whisky professionals commending their contemporaries and friends. “The industry is getting better at giving women credit for the work they do,” whisky educator and writer Kristiane Westray told me, noting that blender Margaret Nicol at Whyte & Mackay, who started in the industry way back in 1974, has only recently been in the spotlight. Similarly, Maureen Robinson, who worked in whisky for more than 45 years, was inducted into the Whisky Magazine Hall of Fame ...

How scared should we be by Trump’s heavily edited appearance on a US news programme this weekend, and Elon Musk’s Grokipedia?You know how I’m going to be able to tell that I’ve really made it as a writer in America? When our very handsome (much better-looking than Zohran Mamdani!) and very high-IQ leader Donald Trump gives me a personal shoutout to commend me on what a wonderful job I’m doing. As we all know, a good journalist should always make the rich and powerful feel comfortable.While I wait for that day to come, I’m watching and learning from the head honchos at CBS. Trump appeared on CBS News’s 60 Minutes on Sunday night for his first sit-down with the show in five years and commented on how much better the network has become after its owner, Paramount, was taken over by his billionaire allies, the father-and-son duo Larry and David Ellison.
