This is doubtless true in Britain, but it is also true of sugar, nicotine, electricity, cars, aeroplanes and many other life-enhancing products. The problem is not alcohol. The problem is today.

Selecting Luanna Jiang as #Harvard’s graduate speaker was not a wise decision. The choice presumably aimed to showcase the benefits of internationalisation and diversity in American higher education. It had the opposite effect: it has unintentionally reinforced the stereotype of

It's very sad to see the AMA committed to such sophistry. Sara's a great writer and should instead use her talents to discuss the competing interests of promoting adult substitution while minimizing youth exposure. (🧵 1/8)

Of all the rote, flashcard excuses that journalists deploy none is more condescending than the claim that Americans are "news illiterate" and can't understand how the press works. I wish they'd say it more, TBH, since it reveals their core attitude. x.com/TimJGraham/sta…

How many times is this going to happen? In as many weeks, we've had three stories now that anyone curious enough to call themselves a reporter should have instantly questioned: The ongoing Gaza famine typified by abundant pasta; the 14,000 dead babies in 48 hours claim; and now,

Progressive commentator Elie Mystal is one of the most uninformed people in media. Here he implies that writers at reason (which is libertarian, not conservative) don't care about wrongly detained immigrants. That's absolutely false. In fact, the Reason writer he cites here,
