The ZDS people aren’t sending their best and brightest. This guy blocked me then deleted and reposted his vague death threat like four times in a row.

NEW: Two-thirds (or more) of NYC D primary voters agree with Zohran Mamdani’s positions on Israel, inc. arresting Bibi. 57% say they might oppose Dems who don’t endorse Mamdani for mayor. That includes the party’s two Brooklyn-based leaders in Congress. semafor.com/article/07/28/…

America’s desire for a legible, non-schizo terrorist attack thwarted again

Palpable vibe shift on Gaza, but it took 2 years, countless videos of dismembered children, and 10ks of deaths just to elicit vocal disgust. There's a famine now & Israel plans to annex Gaza. If acting on their outrage takes as long as it took to muster it, it will be too late.

The moral panic about sex and violence on entertainment television leading to greater social dysfunction was empirically not justified at all. It turned out that the most destructive thing on TV was the news.

It’s funny how much more stark and obvious the paradox of expertise is in the sciences. Like this guy’s bio is Christian, fired 4 truth, Nypost byline.

I mean it worked for the Irgun.

David Frum has gone Bircher. I know the significance of this is not obvious, but he‘s somebody who has traded on liberal respectability for a long time and he’s now claiming that the New York Times is politically invested in supporting Hamas.

My heart breaks for Officer Didarul Islam's wife, family, and Bengali community. This horrific mass shooting with a semi-automatic assault weapon is yet another tragic reminder that the US must do more to end senseless gun violence.

As somebody with a very frail elderly mother nothing else can make you believe more in evidence-based medicine. Your phone rings at 7am. The aide thinks she’s dying, she thinks she’s dying. On what you know about her current condition there’s a .1% chance she’s dying. She’s not.

If you’re a Marxist and you’re interested in finding a convincing interlocutor in mainstream economics, you want someone who knows Gerschenkron.

How on earth does anyone come away from reading Johnson's MITI book with its long descriptions of the incestuous relationship amongst MOF, MITI, big banks, & big business & suppose the postwar Japanese state was 'supreme over capital' in any way remsembling the CCP? ORIENTALISM!

The shooter’s stated reasoning was for their mass shooting was that they had a CTE that made them violent. Any death is tragic and it’s an essential part of any religion to mourn one’s dead, but it would be good to clarify there’s zero reason to think Jews were targeted.

Oh noes

Modern psychoanalysis and gender stuff will require decades of progress to catch up with Muammar Gaddafi

This sort of tracks if you figure our entire political system is the equivalent of network daytime TV nobody wants

Ben ‘Ziggy’ Faulding was a psychotherapist to children and adults, a friend to so many lucky people, and an advocate for justice. At heart, he was truly a chossid, in every sense of the word, in every phase of life. Lively and relentlessly loving, it was a privilege to know you.

So I had some Twitter maniac threaten to kill me on the scriptural basis of authority in Psalm 58. Not to give him credit, but I can see how it would motivate people en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psalm_58

Wrt ‘suicide tombs’ this was the stuff mainland Japanese said about Okinawans
