Europe is yet another great example of how countries that weren't democracies recently just have zero understanding of how to preserve it. Spain's PM is the only person not blindly going against the voters to jump into a fascist war of aggression. He was born under a fascist dictatorship

On the one hand it a war with Iran is extraordinarily unpopular, would destroy Europe's economy, would weaken Ukraine, and would tether them irreversibly to global fascism, but on the other it would hurt Daddy's feelings to say "no" to complicity in even more Israeli war crimes, so who knows

If Pasok overtakes Labour in the polls, are we going to start using “Labourification” for the electoral decline of social democrtaic parties please?

Jews are disproportionately better off on virtually every social indicator and position of power than the median American, and Judaism polls as the religion with the highest approval rating.
Antisemitism may make you feel alive but it's not a real problem for you.

"There is no antisemitism on the left" is the kind of lie people tell when ideology matters more to them than truth.
Everyone knows it exists. Everyone.

Actual hot take: saying some good macroeconomic numbers are false because your friend Dave is struggling to find a job right now is the same logic as saying global warming isn't happening because it was cold this morning out your window.

I had gone to the local ER, expecting a run-of-the-mill gallbladder removal that would have me back at work by Monday. Instead, they shipped me down to the big regional hospital in Fargo, North Dakota, where an MRI showed a gallstone, yes, but also a 9.5-centimeter tumor wrapped tightly around the main bile duct and several major blood vessels in the liver.

The gastrointestinal specialist was in the room with my wife and me when the radiology report came back. I watched his face drop and his entire demeanor change as he read through it for the first time.

He was an affable guy roughly the same age as me. “We just don’t see this in guys our age,” he said.

I was diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma, or cancer of the bile duct. As far as cancers go, it’s an especially brutal one: The five-year survival rate is around 10 percent, and most people diagnosed with it are dead within a year. That was going to be me.

Cholangiocarcinoma is deadly in large part because it is so rare: There are only about 8,000 new cases in the U.S. each year. Cancer treatment advances patient by patient, clinical trial by clinical trial. Each patient is a new data point. When there are few data points, the science advances very slowly.

“There are some chemo and radiation therapies that can slow it down a little bit, maybe buy you some extra time, but nothing that can kill it,” the GI doc explained. “The only way to cure it is to cut it out completely, either by surgically resecting the liver or doing a full-on transplant, but by the time most people are showing symptoms, it’s too late for either of those.”

“Is it too late for me?” I asked.

“I don’t know,” he said.

For Slate, I wrote about what it's like to get a terminal cancer diagnosis when you're 42. slate.com/life/2026/03...

The Fallout from Reporting on White Nationalism in Canada | The Tyee Journalist Rachel Gilmore published an investigation in The Tyee. The men she unmasked showed up to intimidate her in person.

Compare the silence of most Canadian journos and outlets have shown about @rachelgilmore.bsky.social being stalked and threatened by the Nazis she reported on to the pearl clutching from said outlets whenever Carney and Poilievre take two questions at a press conference

A rich text this, my favourite being the use of the word 'Karens' to describe commodities traders.

Might have to amend 'all stories are about management, other than the ones that are about commodities' to 'all stories are actually about people's weird views on gender'.

We're gonna look back at the social media algorithm like the invention of the atomic bomb. We've nuked the brains of stupid people. Please ma'am, put your fucking phone down and think for more than 5 seconds about the world. I'm begging you.
