Absolutely stunning that @ezraklein manages to blame the Israeli right and settlement movement for the “death” of the “two-state solution,” and not Hamas. Not even mention it. nytimes.com/2025/07/20/opi…
So imagine the Keith Richards memoir, minus the charm. That’s this interview.
Hunter Biden breaks down the difference between crack & cocaine and why crack is so addictive
*fewer (And maybe more English majors.)
We need more electricians and less sociology majors.
Wow. Big get for the FP.
Big news. @havivrettiggur joins @TheFP as a regular contributor. His first livestream will be this Wednesday. thefp.com/p/haviv-rettig…
As a veteran of the Regulative Principle blog wars of the YRR / Emergent 00's, please folks, don't do this.
What kind of microphone is permitted by the regulative principle of worship?
Okay, I’ll bite on the Colbert thing… First, there is a huge corporate bloat problem here. Colbert says he has more than 200 people working on his show. Johnny Carson had 75-90 over his biggest years, and his audience was 6-10 times Colbert’s. So figure that out. Second, as…
It will never not be funny to me that people will find examples of the left acting in bad faith and let it eclipse the sun w/r/t all the ways Trump literally begged Russians to get involved in the 2016 election live on television. I would share your disgust, if Trump weren’t…
They tore our country apart for 4 years. People need to go to prison.
Just noting… when Jeffrey Goldberg said he had screenshots of the Signal chat, not publishing them baited lots of Trump groypers to insist they didn’t exist. Then he published the screenshots a few days later. Why pub one blockbuster-traffic story when you can have two?
No Dimebag? No Eddy? No thank you.
Which of these 5 is your favorite guitarist?🤔
So Netanyahu stays in power for now, but the coalition is more brittle than before. Shas is the party of the ultra-Orthodox, and the central issue for them is exemption from service in the IDF for Yeshiva students. This exemption made sense when the nation was founded and the…
Shas has decided to resign from the government but not from the coalition. It will not support a no-confidence motion. The meaning of this move is symbolic but important: The coalition is not a minority coalition, and the door to legislation has not been closed.
Is it weird to anyone else that it seems like it took longer for Elmo to apologize than an NBA player whose burner acct got exposed?
On Sunday, Elmo’s X account was briefly hacked by an outside party, in spite of the security measures in place. We strongly condemn the abhorrent antisemitic and racist content, and the account has since been secured. These posts in no way reflect the values of Sesame Workshop…
[insert Danny DeVito clip from It’s Always Sunny insisting “I went for the snorkeling.”]
Megyn Kelly: "I believe Trump's in the Epstein Files insofar as he was friends with Epstein for 15 years. He knew Epstein...Nobody believes Trump had an affinity for the underage girls...Maybe he was at some Epstein party. Trump says he never went to Epstein's Island."
The “let Matt Gaetz investigate the Epstein files” is one of the dumbest lines ever to be uttered by anyone ever. So it is probably going to happen.
What Abe said.
Elmo and Grok Hitler. And we’re in early days. Keeps believing that social media or AI are going to do good for humanity if you wish.
Just throwing this out there… If Grok had declared itself the mecha grand wizard of the KKK… If it had expressed its commitment to some anti-Asian ideology…. If it had said it hated women, or homosexuals, or some other group that was underrepresented in majority culture……
Men their age who Putin won’t stop sending to die in Ukraine, indoor plumbing, and due process.
This is Moscow nightlife!!! Can anyone tell me what's missing 🤔 ha ha I can't quit fathom it 😅
Louisville-area tweeps… come out to see me as Otto Frank in The Diary of Anne Frank at The Little Colonel Playhouse. I’m really excited about what we are doing with this show, and humbled by the talents of my fellow cast members. Littlecolonel.net
If you said “believe women” and you dismissed these extraordinary, horrifying, and well-documented testimonies, you lose all credibility. This is straight from hell.
1/14 ⚠ TW: Sexual Violence. The most detailed report on the sexual crimes committed during & after the Oct 7 massacre is out. The Dinah Project reveals Hamas terrorists used rape, gang rape & sexual torture systematically. This is hard to read, but vital. 🧵
Several problems with this should be obvious to anyone with a modicum of biblical knowledge. We should rehearse some of the biblical narrative here and reflect upon it. First, Israel's own experience in Egypt was paradigmatic for how it treated strangers (Leviticus 19:34).
Regular reminder that all the Biblical passages about "welcoming the stranger" relate to extending *hospitality* to travelers (who by definition depart on their merry way) and has nothing to do with immigration policy. Witness the many times in the Bible where Israel fights…
The most honest version of this op-ed would be very, very short, and would describe his realization that Republicans were in office so it was time to care about the debt.
