(Featured, Jack Dorsey of Twitter.) How broken is Twitter? I knew it was broken, but this is a whole other level of broken. In the spring of 2022, Twitter considered making a radical change to the platform. After years of quietly allowing adult content on the service, the company would monetize it. The proposal: give…

This is a little awkward. A bunch of D.C. folks including former Trump admin officials just got through defending AG Merrick Garland from the notion that he’s just a “Democratic hack”.

As part of that round of September 11 anniversary attacks, consulates and embassies were targeted in the region with little pushback. And the Afghanistan disaster happened in no small part because there was…

I saw this statistic in Armin Rosen’s excellent Tablet article. In a study released this past July, the New York-based group Americans Against Antisemitism found that of the 118 adults arrested for anti-Jewish hate crimes in New York City since 2018, only one has been convicted and sent to prison.
