Just finished ‘Digital Future in the Rearview Mirror’ by Andrew Mir. Always impressed. I really think works by @Andrey4Mir and @mgurri complement each other so well and are crucial for understanding the world as-is.

Amit Elor wins gold in Paris! The first wrestling medal for Team USA comes courtesy of the 20-year-old Californian at 68 kilograms! 🇺🇸🥇
Good episode. @nickgillespie has changed my mind on the rhetoric question, but now I can’t get the image out of my mind of Noam’s dong in a sheath

Listening to @reason Roundtable. @petersuderman Godzilla -1 title comes from 1945 being “year zero” for Japan. Godzilla attack sets Japan back to year -1.

Free speech should be the standard at MIT, Harvard and Penn.
Instead, we've got double standards.
Using the wrong pronouns? "Abuse."
Calling for intifada? "Context required."
Safety first on campus. Except for Jews.
The Free Press's @SulkinMaya on the hypocrisy of the college presidents.
Whenever anyone mentions the threats to society coming from the left- remember that is is coming from reedy armed little cowards like this, who when faced with any confrontation, fucking wilt. They are loud and vocal, but can’t even explain why they think what they think.

Best framing I have seen so far to explain the radical realignment that is underway:
The deepest insight for understanding the lenses people use to understand the world comes from @KlingBlog in his superb, concise book, The Three Languages of Politics. Simple idea. Liberals see the world as a struggle between oppressor and oppressed. Conservatives see the 1/

It’s been amazing this week to watch the left invert every rhetorical device they’ve used since 2020, all to avoid having to criticize terrorists dedicated to Jewish genocide. It would be hilarious, if it weren’t so reprehensible.
2020: Silence is violence.
2023: People can’t be expected to comment on every situation. It’s okay to just keep silent, especially while events are still unfolding.
————————
2020: If you’re nitpicking small details instead of focusing on the big picture, you’re doing so to avoid your complicity in atrocities.
2023: 40 babies weren’t actually beheaded. 40 babies may have been killed, and some of them may have been beheaded, but that’s not the same as 40 getting beheaded. Details matter.
————————
2020: Universities must proactively take a stand and speak out in opposition to racism. “Academic freedom” is a false concept used to enforce oppression.
2023: Universities need to maintain neutrality and ensure that they do not make any statements that jeopardize the principle of academic freedom, which is a paramount virtue in the realm of scholarship.
————————
2020: You must immediately and forcefully condemn an attack, even if investigations are ongoing.
2023: You can’t expect us to release statements opposing an attack within four days, when the facts are still being discovered. Israel hasn’t even allowed UN investigators at the scenes of these “alleged massacres.”
————————
2020: People are responsible for their words, even if they are just working-class teenagers in small towns. Freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom from consequences.
2023: Graduate students at the most prestigious university in the world are just kids and cannot be held accountable for statements they sign. This is cancel culture.
————————
2020: Believe all women.
2023: Where is the physical evidence of these “alleged rapes”?
————————
2020: It’s not enough to be non-racist. If you are not actively anti-racist, it means that you are, in fact, racist.
2023: How dare you question whether I support terrorists just because I haven’t actively spoken out against Hamas freedom fighters.
————————
2020: We don’t get to tell people in affected communities how to deal with their pain in the aftermath of violence.
2023: It is Israel’s responsibility to ensure that violence doesn’t escalate.
————————
2020: Anything that disproportionately affects one group of people is oppression and must be condemned.
2023: Settlers—a term that includes all Israeli Jews—are not civilians and are therefore all valid targets for attacks.

Douglas Murray says that “only the Israelis” are expected to have the "proportionate response” in a conflict.
“That would mean that in retaliation … they should find a town of exactly the same size as a town like Sderot and go door to door and kill precisely the same number of babies.”

Imagine spending 4 years calling everyone a Nazi, then saying nothing when 40 Jewish babies are slaughtered in the worst pogrom since the holocaust.

Wild to me that this is how a bunch of groups want to burn their credibility this week.
Too terrible for words, but it HAS to be seen
An Israel Defense Forces source provided FDD's @LongWarJournal with a photograph of a child's blood-soaked bed in Kibbutz Kerem Shalom following a Hamas-led attack on the home.
