This is culture. This culture doesn’t care to be what anyone wants to bully it into being. It doesn’t care if you’re gonna like its opinions or what it’s gonna say or wear – or how. This is what we don’t nurture any more in a world where moral puritans keep destroying everything wonderful and unifying about life. I’ve tried to stay away from appraisals of Dolly for the last few days, mainly…
The dangerous things I think out loud
Scott Ruffalo was 39 when he died. He was shot in the head on December 1, 2008 in his Beverly Hills home. The famous hairdresser’s death is still an unresolved case. He succumbed to his wounds seven days later on December 8. Scott and his older brother Mark moved out to LA together in their late teens. Mark worked as a bartender for ten years and documents that he had hundreds of failed auditions,…

I have a question about CODEPINK. Why has a non-profit organization specifically branded as by women for women (hence the color pink) being funded by a tech billionaire based in Shaghai who is aligned with China and Iran? Especially given its marketing itself as grassroots? Well, there’s one obvious reason. Neville Roy Singham, said billionaire, is married to the co-founder of CODEPINK, Jodie…
Jew hatred thrives on silence. It’s a form of abuse. It behaves like abuse. I have always defended anyone I know, or don’t know, against abuse, no matter the personal cost - and there has been a cost. So what’s different here? I want you to tell me what’s different here. I want you to acknowledge why you won’t do what you would do for anyone else. Speak it. Sit in it. I can guarantee you…
The war of information
I am not surprised that most well-adjusted people do not understand submission, but I do. I understand submission. Because over the course of years, I learned from and listened for hours and hours to a survivor of coercive control, and my mind expanded to an invaluable understanding of how an autonomous, strong, tenacious, determined individual can submit to an often weaker, unknowable but…
Often I write something and within 48 hours it makes sense why I wrote it. I published Generosity of Love last Wednesday. Effectively it was about warning Europe and America’s DSA base about the non-exclusivity of October 7, and the looming threat of Jihad. It was about my depression about the broken lines of communication between myself and the people I care about. It began by asking the…

At Shabbat dinner, there was a discussion around how more Gen Z kids date by committee and cast off people before they even get close to them. Example Gen Z-er: “My friends said red flags so I ghosted.” I offered my reasoning. Not that I’m Gen Z, but I don’t think this nonsense is limited to Gen Z. It’s because we are experiencing a death of vulnerability. We are living in a time of enabling,…
Who are the people circling the wagons around the ICC’s arrest warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu? Amal Clooney. Zohran Mamdani. Sadiq Khan. Why are they so desperate to preserve a document signed by Karim Khan – the man just voted out of the building as chief prosecutor after findings of serious sexual misconduct, including coercive non-consensual acts against a junior staffer? You can - and should -…
