I know you think I’m evil. And a copycat. But I assure you, I’ve wanted to take out Causation long before Relative Risk stabbed Absolute Risk in the back at last month’s Stanford talk on the lethality of packaged, ready-to-eat kale. Absolute Risk had it coming, shamelessly trying to downplay a ten-thousand-fold increased risk of choking to death if and when you eat the plastic bag.
“The overall lifetime risk of dying from a moderate consumption of kale is one in one hundred billion,” Absolute said. “So multiplying that by ten thousand means your actual chances of dying from plastic-bagged, ready-to-eat kale are extremely low, just one in ten million. The increased relative risk is statistically insignificant. Also, if you take care not to eat or swallow the bag, that risk drops to nearly zero.”
There is an epidemic of child sex crimes in and around Fort Bragg, North Carolina. Since 2021, and the American withdrawal from Afghanistan, dozens of elite soldiers stationed at the military base have been convicted of raping children, distributing child pornography, and other similar offenses. Many of these soldiers served in Afghanistan, where it is now acknowledged that the U.S. military aided their local allies in “bacha bazi” (boy play): the practice of kidnapping and keeping boys as sex slaves, large numbers of whom were enslaved on U.S. military compounds. MintPress News explores this dark and deeply disturbing topic.

On Saturday, The Times Magazine published an interview with Peter Mandelson, along with a cover image of the former minister cooking in his Wiltshire home. Ideally, I wouldn’t share the image because, regardless of what the article contains, seeing anyone in that context has a way of legitimising their place in public life. We see someone in […]

I’m pinching myself. It is February 2026, and I am writing for Tribune about Peter Mandelson. Moreover, it’s much the same as I was writing over thirty years ago for Tribune — except that, on this occasion, Mandelson has finally managed to surpass even his own appalling record of venality and avarice. At the time […]

FIRST, the disclaimers: Some of my favorite writers—folks who are as anti-fascist and pro-democracy as they come—publish on Substack, but I read and recommend their work less and less frequently, because Substack has a Nazi problem. To wit: Awkward: Substack’s Nazi Problem Substack call themselves a platform rather than a publication, a classic web conundrum. […]
