Why do I have to have a job where I produce value to the general society when some people get paid to do whatever the fuck this is
This is how Christopher Caldwell begins his essay on Zohran Mamdani for the Claremont Review of Books.
Why are these people such freaks?

I am a little tired of being yelled at for this but apparently not tired about: heroin addiction is not RFK’s problem. He’s a sociopath. Most addicts aren’t. Honestly, walk into an NA meeting, grab the first person with a few years to be head of HHS and they’d probably do a better job than Bobby.
This is what happens when you put a privileged, 14 year heroin addict in charge of health. Duh

I won't comment on how much of the Epstein files I expect to actually be revealed, but I feel fairly confident in my expectations of the media. So I'd like to offer a helpful glossary of definitions of their often opaque terminology

Whenever this nightmare ends, the overarching ideology of our rebuilt society must be "you will care about other people and you will care for other people OR ELSE"
one of the most deeply infuriating aspects of american politics is close to half of americans would love if 20% of the country starved to death

I googled around for the last 20 minutes and the terrorist attack that has caused them to unleash the full fury of their military upon the Gaza civilians once again is one in which Israel admits absolutely no one was injured and they have given zero proof to show that the attack even happened.

A crew tried to deter orcas from attacking their boat by blasting heavy metal music underwater.
