'A vaccine against murder'? Israel split over return of death penalty In a highly controversial move, some Israeli MPs are trying to introduce the death penalty for Palestinian attackers.

It’s remarkable how consistently capital-punishment advocates rely on arguments which are entirely, provably, false.

Countries that execute people DO NOT have lower rates of crime. They specifically DO NOT have lower occurrence of the crimes they execute people for.

JANE FONDA: “I know Don Lemon. My husband created CNN. And I will fight for their right to speak… they arrested the wrong Don. This is how autocrats act. We can’t fall for it.”

I don't know whether it is the #1 Catherine O'Hara accomplishment but the fact that she invented a manner of speaking that no other person in human history has ever attempted for Schitts Creek and made it seem realistic that her character would talk that way felt like a comedy miracle to me

You can test new tech ideas using the Seinfeld Test

Would the product eliminate the plot of an episode? (Google maps, cell phones, paypal, battery packs)

Good tech.

Would the product inspire new Seinfeld plots? (NFTs, AI chatbots, crypto currency, blindboxes, metaverse land sales)

Bad tech.

This is the first time I’ve read details about a bomb that was set off in residential London street, destroying cars and sending shrapnel into kids’ bedrooms.

Young people are considered vulnerable online, but the actual radicalisation of old generations is given a free pass by the press.

No secret code. Just plain bone chilling English

When I pulled up the gifs tool this was the top one on the front page, and I mean, really, I think she's speaking for all of us right now.

[BEETLEJUICE] Delia the sculptor, the madwoman who’s the new lady of the house, is played by the smudge-faced blond Catherine O’Hara, late of SCTV, and the possessor of the freakiest blue-eyed stare since early Gene Wilder. (She has sexy evil eyes.) (1988)

Palantir’s stated mission is to defend America. Peter Thiel is a radical libertarian who does not believe ‘freedom & democracy are compatible’.

Yet, the UK is overwhelmingly dependent on Palantir’s services. As a national security threat, this is off the charts.

Catherine O’Hara Could Do Anything And she pretty much did everything. The only tragedy is that it feels like she was just beginning to get the recognition her decades-long career always deserved.

For The Ringer, I wrote about how amazing it was that the brilliant Catherine O'Hara finally became a superstar in her 60s, and how sad it is that she was taken from us just when we had all finally begun to appreciate her:

Catherine O'Hara's brilliance was found in how she made inhabiting whatever character she played seem like a mere extension of her presence. Which seems so deceptively modest until you take a moment to consider how her mastery of that illusion made her one of the major talents of her generation.

knowing how the story has progressed for Satoshi Kon (RIP) and Aronofsky (pro-AI, rich) , this is a very sad thing to reflect on

Incredible short film Catherine O’Hara and Andrea Martin made for Late Night with David Letterman, so dark and nervy, filmed in Toronto too

the arrest of journalists in minneapolis, including don lemon, is more evidence that the only move the administration knows how to make is to use force, and does not know how to respond when that force is met with defiance and indifference.
