Years ago I went out with a very-wealthy Jewish girl from Boston who was big in the art scene in NYC. Met her at some bar in Brooklyn where bike couriers hang out; proceeded to spend a month straight with her. She did coke 24/7, took me to VIP rooms at tons of clubs, and seemed…

I worry that when the next generation of lawyers get appointed as judges, this too will change.

I don’t understand. How does a mayor have any power to release prisoners? Why is the fact that Rikers is closing in two years and there’s no replacement not front page news? How would it be any different if Pinochet were elected the next mayor? You can’t build a prison in 2 years
Zohran Mamdani is a prison abolitionist. If he's elected, he would have the opportunity to oversee the release of 7,000+ New York City inmates. And to achieve that dream, all he has to do is ... absolutely nothing. My latest @PirateWires
When you interview a straight talking Aussie about net zero 🤣🤣🤣 I would love to go for a pint with this bloke 👌
Seriously, do women not understand that the reason they don't get hit on is that women themselves told men - loudly and vociferously and in starkly moral terms - to stop hitting on them? So men just go on apps where they know their attention is wanted.
A lot of women told us to not approach in public or we would be called a creep. Society told us to stop.
Gazans would deny basic human dignity to Jews, so much that they started and then celebrated a war by perpetrating horrific war crimes again Jewish civilians. You want to welcome the people who supported this war to Canada because, deep down, you also hate Jews.
Today at Pearson’s Terminal 3, I welcomed 11 children from Gaza. They’ve survived what no child should ever endure. It’s time Canadians to see that families in Gaza are just like ours—full of hope, pain, and humanity. This isn’t about politics. It’s about basic human dignity.…
The correct metric, of course, is how many First Nations band chiefs have been able to repave their driveways with the grant money since the fund was created.
In *round* numbers, how many “suspected graves” have been exhumed since the fund was created?
"Genocide."
What is the most Orwellian term or phrase from the last few years? Chestfeeding?
I've never observed as much explicit anti-Semitism as I do now. While it's still mostly at the fringes — polling shows the great majority of Americans still express warmth toward Jews — the fact that it's thriving on the fringes of BOTH the left and the right should worry us.
Hard to think of a worse strategic decision than letting the Palestinians start a war, play victim, and then obtain recognition of a state unilaterally. Fantastic incentive for more murderous attacks on Israel, followed by more playing victim.
Gaza is more than a humanitarian crisis – it is a moral crisis that challenges the global conscience. We will continue to speak out. But words don’t feed hungry children. The @UN stands ready to make the most of a ceasefire to dramatically scale up humanitarian operations.

Only in the Star, experts recommend the following safety rules (among others) for children: • no swimming without life jackets, even when there are lifeguards • no trampolines • no tobogganing, even with a helmet • no bouncy castles Unhinged. thestar.com/news/gta/these…
I don't think people realize just how few people would need to be put in jail for society to improve a LOT
A third of all shoplifting arrests in NYC in 2022 were due to just 327 people. That's 0.00385% of the population doing 33% of the crime! This guy is one of them. Lock him up.
Hamas doesn’t want the war to end. It wants a reprieve so it can recover for more war. Hamas does everything it can, murder, theft and neverending intimidation, to disrupt aid distribution. Anyone who talks about famine in Gaza and of Israel’s manifest responsibility to prevent…
We have decided to bring our team home from Doha for consultations after the latest response from Hamas, which clearly shows a lack of desire to reach a ceasefire in Gaza. While the mediators have made a great effort, Hamas does not appear to be coordinated or acting in good…
"The fable of the boy who cried wolf has an important moral which is not that wolves don't exist and will never attack anyone. Rather, it is precisely because wolves do exist and will eventually attack that makes it so important to not cry wolf. And ideally, even when the UN…
Folks, I need to inform you that there is very concerning data regarding the food situation in Gaza. Firstly, let me just that that as someone who supports Israel I anticipate many on my side will be skeptical of this and I totally understand why. Throughout the war you have…

This is the first time I’ve believed any of the reports of mass hunger in Gaza, because @havivrettiggur is credible. If he’s saying this, Israel needs to change course.
Israeli journalist @HavivRettigGur: After 22 months of false or misleading reports in Western media, Gaza is now actually approaching catastrophic levels of hunger. “We are very close to real, actual, desperate hunger in Gaza… It's hard to convince Israelis of that because…
The purpose of the Government of Canada isn't to employ people in the National Capital Region. It's to carry out its constitutional responsibilities on behalf of taxpayers.

The right result in the Hockey Canada trial. There was clearly reasonable doubt. theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…
I was ambivalent about Israel and thought reports of antisemitism were exaggerated. Until 8 October 2023. Yes, *8* Oct. It's not the braindead rapists and kidnappers of Hamas who radicalised me but the massive support they received. Now, I'm a Zionist and I'm not even Jewish.
I wonder why Zionists want their own state, and not to be deported to Europe to live as a perpetually chased and hunted minority...
