A nice musical tribute to performative hatred, shared properly from @Israellycool.

🎶 “I Think I Just Freed Palestine” 🎶
A heartfelt musical tribute to performative activism, where the slogans are loud, the Jew-hate is palpable, knowledge is optional, and the results are nonexistent.

A typical scam by the "Australian Literary Network," inviting me to participate in a book club discussing one of my works. But the aim is to squeeze money out of me. These are quite common these days.

John McWhorter critiques the necessity of having "lived experience" to create valid art: the misleading "progressive" view that authors must be of the same sex or ethnicity of their characters lest the product be "cultural appropriation." That view is nonsense.

Crikey, a whole Pinker thread with my posts over the years about this egregious journa!
Over the years Jerry Coyne has documented the deterioration of the magazine, such as here: whyevolutionistrue.com/2025/…

Scientists & science journalists decry the public's rejection of science, but are oblivious to the major cause: the perception, sometimes correct, that scientists are just another political faction. Among the guiltiest perpetrators are the recent editors of Scientific American, who turned this once-beloved treasure into a left-wing propaganda rag. This absolutely does not justify the Trump administration's unconstitutional meddling, but the new owners are right to restore it to its mission of explaining science to Americans.

I love this woman: "I bought loads of Israeli goods. . .thanks for inspiring me!"
This is political Islamism, and Bagayoko is a hero to French youth for promoting it. His refusal to vote to ban female genital mutilation (while banning alcohol) is especially telling.
FRANCE: Bally Bagayoko, the mayor of Saint-Denis, has officially banned alcohol sales in the Muslim-majority Paris suburb.
This is the same mayor who supported ‘students’ setting schools on fire in the Islamic riots, and who recently refused to vote on a motion opposing female genital mutilation.
Alcohol prohibited, female genital mutilation encouraged, Palestinian and Islamic flags on display. What’s happening is unprecedented.
Europe is changing, and it is changing fast.

I've had this view several times and there's none better from a plane. I believe that's Everest to the extreme right, and I've also seen it from its base (Kala Pattar).
Occasionally John McWhorter hews to the "woke" line, as he does in this week's column favoring land acknowledgments. But he leaves out the counterarguments, which are weighty.
