Commentary: No longer is the threat posed by nuclear weapons even tenuously contained by mutually agreed rules and accepted norms. Instead, it is returning, pushing us all to the edge of the abyss.
Have we entered a new age of nuclear proliferation?
For the first time since the end of the Cold War, nuclear arsenals are growing, and the weapons themselves are becoming more lethal.

The population of Israel is reportedly about 10M. This is one of the reason ms why I don’t consider religion much in terms of its state policy: it relies far more on 78M US evangelicals IMHO.
Kirk, as a top Christian influencer, was a solid choice for making the case for Christian Zionism.
There are some 78M evangelicals in the U.S., their support for Israel is crucial to the Zionist cause (which is dear to David Ellison), and Bari Weiss, who calls herself a “Zionist fanatic.”

Erika Kirk and Bari Weiss’s Weird Pro-Israel Religious Revival
The new head of CBS News interviewed the late Charlie Kirk’s wife, who turned a question about antisemitic violence into a sermon on Christian Zionism.

Alberta renters don’t need more ‘supply’ — they need non-market housing options
Governments keep chasing the market while community housing providers quietly deliver stable, affordable homes that won’t disappear when profits rise

Some interesting analysis in here, but not all that I agree with. My guess is that Chomsky probably knew Epstein was a past monster, but probably didn't care. I think it's politically consistent with his approach to pretty much everyone.

Nice to see that Globe and Mail columnist Robyn Urback is allowed to once again just totally twist my words and falsely smear me as antisemitic with zero professional consequences.
This is the second time she’s done this to me personally, and she’s done this to others too.
Such an awful person.
