The Israeli government’s move to ship rifles to a criminal gang tied to ISIS has drawn parallels with Tel Aviv’s prior strategy of funding Hamas to undermine the Palestinian Authority. This article was originally published by Antiwar.com Israeli opposition leader and former Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman said on Thursday that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was arming a gang in southern Gaza that’s affiliated with ISIS, a charge that has been confirmed by Israeli officials. “The Israeli government is giving weapons to […]

We don't just need more women in office. We need a culture shift.
The first movie ever made was released in 1887. That movie is called Air Bud, and it is about a dog who is good at passing a three-dimensional sphere through a two-dimensional hoop, which is illegal. When I found out how many movies there are, I got worried that watching so many different dogs playing spherehoop would get tedious, but it turns out that movies can be about different things too.
Some movies are called “films,” which happens if the movie is too long, is very boring, or was directed by someone who married their own adopted daughter. A director is someone who stands nearby with their arms crossed while the movie is being filmed. They are called “directors” because they sit in things called “directors’ chairs.”
One of the best parts about movies is that there are so many different kinds, such as drama, horror, and porn. Drama is what a movie is called if a character in it screams, “WILSON!” The best drama movie is called The Terminator, and it is about computers and humans being friends and playing together. Horror is when a character screams anything other than “WILSON!” Porn is when a movie is about Christmas.

Mann understood, almost too well, the allure of tradition and irrationalism, of the poetic and the mystical.
Recently, I’ve been turning off my iPhone — all the way off! — for 10 to 30 minutes at a time. I leave it somewhere in the house, while I try to live IRL (“in real life”), washing dishes, hanging up laundry, or even going for a walk, phoneless. In this hyper-connected world of ours, doing so, even for such a short time, often feels like an enormous act of self-deprivation — no podcasts, no long-distance communication with those I’m closest to, no social media, no para-social relationships, no steps of mine being counted, or micro-health-tracking going on. So much, in other words, missing in action. I’m not a digital native. In fact, I am what they call a late adopter. I didn’t... Read more

Το ΜέΡΑ25 χαιρετίζουμε την μερική στροφή που παρατηρείται σε μεγάλο μέρος του πολιτικού κόσμου το οποίο από την 7η Οκτωβρίου 2023 έως πρόσφατα δεν τολμούσε να καταδικάσει απερίφραστα το Ισραήλ. Άργησε αυτή η «στροφή» απελπιστικά αλλά τουλάχιστον έγινε – έστω και μερικώς. Αυτό που λείπει για να ολοκληρωθεί είναι, πέραν της κατάργησης κάθε στρατιωτικής συνεργασίας […]

Μέσα σ’ όλα τα τραγικά που έχει κάνει ο Τραμπ, έκανε κι ένα καλό: διέλυσε κάθε αυταπάτη ότι η διεθνής οικονομία μπορεί να παραμείνει όσο ανισόρροπη ήταν τις τελευταίες δεκαετίες. Τα γιγαντιαία ελλείμματα κάποιων και τα θεόρατα πλεονάσματα άλλων είτε θα εξισορροπηθούν είτε το διεθνές σύστημα θα καταρρεύσει με τρόπο που θα κάνει το Κραχ […]

The IMF-World Bank Spring meetings are usually placid affairs that participating central bankers wish to forget soon after they are over. Not this Spring. This April the feeling several central bankers brought back home with them was not the usual relief but something far more visceral: dread, terror even. The reason? The spectre of the […]
