"critics who disparage marriage are intellectuals with a college education, a class that continues to practice marriage, whilst the adverse effects of their advice are born not by themselves but by the less educated...this is a luxury belief" https://t.co/dwj7ugqJJV

What we learned from the Ye saga is that when an extremely high-status individual shows clear signs of mental illness, people will steadfastly resist the conclusion that they're ill––in a way that they'd never do if their friend were behaving the same way See: Tucker & Candace

Today I'm reading lots of “aha, Israel admits 70,000 killed in Gaza.” But when Israeli and IDF officials, including Bibi, cite a civilian/combatant ratio of 1.5 to 2:1 with 25,000 combatants killed, that already implies about 70,000 total deaths. There is nothing new here.

This is such a dumb comparison. Yes there are many legitimate criticisms of ICE. No, they are nothing whatsoever like the literal Nazi party.
Stephen Colbert: “Do not compare ICE or Border Patrol agents to the Nazis. That’s an unfair comparison. The Nazis were willing to show their faces.”

FRANCE: In Paris, Quranic verses are now being broadcast on loudspeakers in subway stations. But if Christians tried the same in Muslim countries, they would be imprisoned or even killed. Why is this tolerated?

Kaizen doing that logic thing again
It's not that Democrats want deportations to be done lawfully. They want to stop them entirely. That's why Newsom committed $50m to fight deportations, before Trump took office. That's why Mayor Frey won't enforce immigration law. That's why all the chaos is in blue areas.

In Amsterdam, a ‘Queer for Palestine’ wanted to be part of the protest but was told: “Get out, we don’t want you here. We are Muslims and you disgust us. You have no place in our cause.” LGBT who support Palestine have to be the dumbest people ever!

Thanks to the FBI, NYPD, and SDNY for stopping three assassination plots on U.S. soil. That gave me a second life. Five regime-hired hitmen are now in U.S. prisons. So when do we go after the guy who ordered it, @khamenei_ir and is now massacring unarmed Iranians? If dictators

I’m glad the world is finally joining the anti-terrorism train, but the reality is that the reported 43,000 death toll in Iran is a direct result of legitimizing terrorism for all these years. October 7th was the signal to hold jihadists accountable. It was the canary in the

The late Shah raised Iran’s legal age of marriage to 18. The Islamic Republic lowered it to 13—and, in practice, even younger. This was not an accident of culture, but a deliberate rollback of women’s and children’s rights in the name of clerical power. Today, Islamist

This would be “news” if I hadn’t published a paper in *December 2024* pointing out that: 1) the list at the time was probably full of errors (Hamas agreed and deleted thousands of entries a few months later) and “70% women and children” was drivel; 2) Hamas overall totals

The Democrats have accomplished something that would seem to be impossible: They have made their own party seem like the crazier of the two. NYT's Tom Edsall analyzes (with quotes from many moderates, including me).
