Fear doesn't travel well; just as it can warp judgment, its absence can diminish memory's truth. What terrifies one generation is likely to bring only a puzzled smile to the next. --Arthur Miller, "Why I Wrote 'The Crucible'", The New Yorker, October 21, 1996

Bowtie Boy gets Russia hysterically wrong

What you need to know about Israel and Palestine right now
First off, MSNBC’s Ali Velshi gives an on-the-ground impression: The situation is really stark, and awful for Palestinians in Gaza particularly (seeing as it’s already the world’s largest open-air prison, this is all too predictable). The Rational National’s David Doel … Continue reading

Heeeeere, kitty, kitty, kitty.
Ash Sarkar dissects the latest right-wing moral panic over something that doesn’t really exist — i.e., kids who identify as animals. It’s especially hilarious when “journalists” start offering to pay for accounts by supposedly exasperated parents of such children. It’s … Continue reading

Who is funding this “university”?
Hey! Remember Bari Weiss’s vanity “university” (note quotes, there for a reason)? Surprisingly, it’s not dead yet. But maybe it will soon die of shame. The Majority Report crew has made a stunning finding, which may not surprise you so … Continue reading

FUX Snooze loses again, this time Down Under

FUX Snooze flounders, settles, then fires Bowtie Boy
Hooboy, it’s been a bumpy past several days — and have things ever been galumphing along since last week, when FUX Snooze suddenly settled a defamation suit, filed against them by Dominion Voting Systems, for half the amount initially demanded. … Continue reading

Facebook won’t fact-check Donnie, but it WILL fact-check li’l ol’ me.

So long, Elon, and thanks for NOTHING.
