Do you think unbending Clippy until he was a long piece of metal would be painful for him. Or do you think it would cause him to feel a great sense of relief

Firing the BLS Commissioner — the wonk in charge of the statisticians who track economic reality — is an authoritarian four alarm fire.

It will also backfire: You can't bend economic reality, but you can break the trust of markets. And biased data yields worse policy.

Zohran Mamdani being *more* popular among NYC Jews than among NYC voters as a whole is a wild fact, and completely belies much of the national narrative surrounding his candidacy.

The people in the national media who talk a lot about antisemitism are often not listening to actual Jews.

Our nearby Barnes & Noble (Woodmere, OH) is surprisingly pleasant, and has an amazing selection of unusual pens, although I try to go to indie Loganberry Books out of solidarity.
