Fascists need not reply. They need not exist, to be perfectly honest.
Unhinged racist fascist kooks, yes – but please don't call them subhuman. They're all too human, unfortunately.

The Jerusalem Post has an article – which appears to largely restate, but partly add to, the Rolling Stone article – that's not behind a paywall:

According to a Rolling Stone article from 2021, Leese (a "British defense contractor") died in 2011:

This fundamentally dishonest article is not up to Lawfare's normally excellent standards and they should publish an unflinching rebuttal ASAP.
08.02.2026 16:22 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Nothing about the effects of a never-ending, violent occupation.
Nothing about the apartheid state that preceded Hamas's terrorist attack and that continues to this day.
Nothing about the genocide.
But it steers well clear of even the slightest, most timid whisper about what might have led to these shifts in "perceptions" and "public opinion".
Nothing about the collective punishment of the Palestinian people.
Nothing about the indiscriminate destruction of homes and civilian infrastructure.
It rightly points out that "[g]lobal perceptions of Israel have plummeted" and that "[p]ublic opinion is notoriously fickle, but even so, this erosion of Israel’s global standing should trouble Israeli policymakers."
08.02.2026 16:22 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0The article raises some thought-provoking questions but the author has his eyes firmly closed to deeper questions that an honest, and truly meaningful, examination of the calamity in Gaza would face head-on.

Also, the Kyiv Independent has an article on Epstein's Russia connections:

It appears that the most accurate transliteration is Belyakov, not Beliyakov.
I know I'm nitpicking, but search results for Belyakov might turn up things that searches for Beliyakov don't.

Trump sez:
"I spend hours every day looking at crap on social media. After all, isn't that what people elected me to do?"
"Epstein received a Russian visa at the invitation of FSB veterans"
07.02.2026 13:32 — 👍 3 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0I'm not disagreeing with the importance of the story, but that's only about a 5% drop: (298–282)/298 ≈ 0.05. Hardly the precipitous decline that it seems to depict.
A chart whose y-axis values range from 282 to 298 just intrinsically sucks.
I say let him have the marble for his tomb, as long as it's used in the next, I don't know, couple of months?
(This is not a death threat. I condemn all forms of political violence. I do wish he would just die of natural causes, though, and soon. Yesterday would be good.)
I respectfully disagree with your characterisation of Will as "nitpicking". What I perceive is that he's trying to convince people to see things his way. What's wrong with that?

And it's important to encourage first-time protesters!!!
In my case, it meant surviving one semester of Transformational-Generative Grammar and somehow not running into the street screaming.
That class killed my interest in an undergraduate degree in linguistics. I never forgave Chomsky for that.
Or were we talking about some other of Chomsky's sins?
Wrong headline again, New York Times! It should be:
"ICE *exceeds* power of agents to arrest people without warrants"
You're completely misrepresenting what Will wrote.

Eagle Ed Martin writes "ya'" for "you" to inform readers that he (1) doesn't have a clue how to use apostrophes; (2) is a little nervous when it comes to pronouns generally; and (3) is a pathetic loser who deep down just wants people to like him.

Wait. I just remembered that while Mikey is in bed with Satan in a figurative sense, Don-don is in bed with him literally. In his tighty whiteys. With his wee fungus yearning to be unleashed.
Kinda makes me feel sorry for Satan, actually.
I'm not sure Mighty Mikey really means *eternally* grateful, given that he has sold his soul to Satan and so, presumably, won't be eternally grateful for much of anything. Unless he likes being flayed alive while his parts are going through the penis flattener, that is.
