Indeed, it’s a mystery why people are so touchy about this…

Jews who live in the UK feel differently. Try talking with some of them, listen to their stories.

There seemed to be a lot of twats in the UK who celebrated the mass murder of Israeli civilians.

The worst antisemitism I ever encountered was when I lived in London. Your tiny minority of twats is rather robust.

Also, try Googling “Jews” and George Orwell, T.S. Eliot, Roald Dahl, and Neville Chamberlain. British history is rife with Jew hatred—but, I suppose it all just faded away?

Mitch McConnell's super PAC brings in millions of dollars for the GOP, so you can be sure they'll "Weekend at Bernie's" him for as long as possible.

For the umpteenth time, you can simultaneously condemn war crimes by both Israel and Hamas—instead of indulging in this revisionist bullshit.

Same! When I was a student at the Columbia School of Journalism, we kept hearing, “Nobody is happy at the NYT.” (Magazine work was so much more fun.)

The Top Ten Deadliest Animals of Our Evolutionary Past Humans may be near the top of the food chain now, but who were our ancestors’ biggest predators?

Every so often, when I feel a bit guilty about eating meat, I re-read this article about all the different animals that relentlessly preyed upon early humans. Time for some payback. 🍖

Amid the ongoing failure of legacy news organizations, it’s so reassuring to see media outlets like 404 and Pro Publica doing real journalism.

Now’s a good time to subscribe to 404, btw. Independent. Employee owned. They do excellent work.

The Milano cookie is among the greatest cookies, second only to Mallomars (praise be unto them).

And, I was delighted when they introduce orange-chocolate Milanos.

But, now they’ve gone a bit overboard.

If you’re ok with abducting infants and murdering civilians, then you might not be the best person to be discussing ethics.
