My new post on Gaza, "Academic Fairy Tales," is about the storm of antisemitism, anti-Zionism, & pro-atrocity efforts in our best universities: jewsandothers.com I'm dropping Twitter for now. Whether the X means unknown or evil, Musk is crossing lines I can't live with.
If you're interested in my latest post about the war, "Gaza: What is Victory?" you can find it here: jewsandothers.com

Sadly, I'm returning to Twitter (or X, or Y, or Z) because (contrary to my hopes when Mr. Musk bought it), no plausible alternative has appeared.
I posted another blog entry, "Gaza Plus," about the regional war. It's the latest in a series:

My new article, "Is History the Same as Evolution? No. Is It Independent of Evolution? Certainly Not." is in Evolutionary Psychology, open access & much less technical than my last one, "Nine Levels." Amazing that I wrote it before Putin's invasion.

Hello 🇺🇸
You just got over a wave of the most transmissible #SARSCoV2 variant the world has seen, with the highest level of hospitalizations in the pandemic.

To @MediClit I will try one more time: Here’s what I wrote you. I hate FGM. For a half century I’ve been teaching the difference between cultural & ethical relativism. What matters is what works. Here’s what works: nonprofitquarterly.org/melin…

So sweet, so vulnerable. Thank you for using the word murder. Every one, every time, murder, murder, murder, murder, murder…
20 December 1938 | French Jewish girl Eveline Stabryd was born in Paris.
She arrived at #Auschwitz on 21 August 1942 in a transport of 1,000 Jews deported from Drancy. She was among 817 of them murdered in a gas chamber after the selection.

Superb article by Nate Silver (6/8, in case you missed it), explaining how pro-Dem predictions fell short in 2020, and what to expect in ’22.
