the dumbest thing is that I OFTEN want Ethiopian food but am allergic to teff, the grain used to make injera. And embarrassed to ask for a fork because I think it makes me look like an asshole.

DHS has a comms team with its finger on the pulse of ten years ago.

A FB post from DHS that says:

“FAFO.

Fascinating report just released by DropSite which reveals that David Frum, while working on a profile of an Israeli ambassador to the United Nations for the Atlantic, was also shadow-writing speeches for that same ambassador.

David Frum, Douglas Murray Secretly Drafted Speeches for Israeli Ambassador

Leaked emails from former Israeli UN Ambassador Ron Prosor show David Frum, Douglas Murray offering to write his speeches and a CNN producer fundraising for Israel’s Iron Dome during Israel’s 2014 war

For some reason this makes me feel vindicated.
