Today the Observer has published an extraordinary piece, which I think they view as a romantic case for assisted dying, but which is, in fact, a textbook case of how doctors subvert the rules to help patients without any terminal illness whatsoever to die by suicide. It could

It is both true and seldom honestly acknowledged that "the creation of Israel was the consequence less of Jewish choices than of all other Jewish choices being foreclosed by non-Jewish powers."

Last week Evan Urquhart and a bunch of Bluesky idiots spread the idea that you can go up to a journalist, talk into their recording equipment, and then complain when they use your voice in their work. They know this isn't true. jessesingal.substack.com/p/contra-evan-…

You can't overstate Brian Wilson's influence on American pop music. This a great loss for America, and the world. Luckily, the Beach Boys endure. From 1962-1977, it's hard to find anyone with a deeper, more glittering, and more multifarious catalog. open.substack.com/pub/rossbarkan…

Today’s The Times and The Sunday Times column: why is the Department of Education telling parents to decrease children’s screen time while simultaneously telling schools to increase it? Parent says no, stop the screen rot in schools thetimes.com/article/ab3bf6…

Excellent from Hadley Freeman this morning.

Today’s The Times and The Sunday Times column: the British left has lost its mind over abortion, and women will pay the price thetimes.com/article/62f8a8…

Perfectly put. Well worth a read

I guess I'm naive but it is a constant shock to me that pretty much all the media coverage about surrogacy focuses on the desires of the adults who want a baby, rather than the woman who gestates, carries, gives birth and then has to give up the baby

For the crime of writing a book about feminism, the brilliant Susanna Rustin has been repeatedly deplatformed and slammed as a bigot, most recently in Poland susannarustin.substack.com/p/the-pride-an…

An absolute thrill as always to speak with Hadley Freeman, this for The Jewish Angle from The Canadian Jewish News thecjn.ca/opinion/why-is…
