We are currently experiencing a period of collective mass hysteria I haven’t seen since the early 2000s where every lever of power in the so-called American liberal order are all laser focused on one single thing: the state of Israel must be allowed to massacre as many Palestinians as they wish.

I'm not exaggerating even a tiny bit! Here is the amicus brief Students for Life filed today asking the Supreme Court to revoke FDA approval of the abortion drug mifepristone because, they claim, the FDA didn't comply with the Endangered Species Act www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/23...

Look I feel for people on the dating apps, I really do. But I was on them for years before you. The same ones. And it’s why I can say that at the very least, your assignment for the time on them is to come to terms with whatever percent of the problem is you. It’s not zero.

Y'all, I cannot emphasize this enough. You should not secretly surveil your kids. This includes putting a phone in the car, but it also includes putting a smart speaker in a 7-year-old's room and not telling them that you can see what they ask Alexa or Siri to do. slate.com/human-intere...

We are totally devastated by the death of Cecilia Gentili, whose brilliant memoir "Faltas" we were lucky enough to publish. Cecilia was a genius, but more importantly she was the absolute best. Here she is at her book launch, looking thrilled. She will be so deeply missed. 💔

Do your part to poison the thieving algorithms, visual artists. It's free, easy, and annoys techbros. No downside.
