Imagine what the media response would be if a white politician complained about too many black Africans in Africa. And yet we hear them say next to nothing when a brown person says this about white people in Europe and the UK.

What the hell does “white culture” mean? White American culture? Are there people who think just “white culture” is actually descriptive of something?

It takes far longer than it needs to and produces suspicious results? And forget blue-red - look at the 2020 Iowa Democratic caucus. Does anyone believe that result?

This is one of the most mentally ill articles ever written.

Helen Andrews on having a profoundly disabled sibling. She tells the truth about what it's like: Sometimes, focusing on the positive becomes a way of denying reality. Yes, there were joyous moments. But changing diapers gets a lot harder after 18 years, when the person weighs as much as you do. My sister threw tantrums and acted out. My parents couldn’t leave her alone in the house even to run to the store. It was like the most labor-intensive parts of infant care extended for years with no end in sight. Hardest of all, the object of all this sacrifice couldn’t give anything back. Andrews goes on to point out that some parents who take care of these children are narcissists, and it's all about themselves. I was expecting the article to end up making the case for abortion in these situations. Instead, she decides that the Christian position is that it's ok because in heaven, the handicapped will still be disabled but "the transformation would be in the rest of us." I have no idea what this means. So in heaven, they will still not be able to take care of themselves, but it's ok because you'll have angels as nannies so you don't have to change diapers? Or healthy people will continue to act as caregivers but will do it with a smile? What a bizarre op-ed, combining brutally honest and courageous reflections, and ending with bizarre half-baked theological speculations that are simply invented to avoid the obvious conclusion.

Why was this necessary?

Free speech won in that the protestors were given their 10 minutes and then let the book promotion continue. He cancelled further lectures because about half a dozen people attended the first two.

Ebola outbreak trajectory is nearly vertical 📈 From the start I've never seen this before 😳😳😳

We do “tax the rich” - in the CNBC interview, Bezos cited the well-known statistic that the top 1% of taxpayers pay 40% of all federal income taxes. The correct policy debate is whether we want to “tax the rich more” That’s a fair question. But it’s not the one pushed by politicians who are waging class warfare as a simplistic fix to America’s many problems. Without putting some common sense limits on spending, much of any extra money raised will likely disappear into pet projects and government waste and inefficiency. No one would give an alcoholic more to drink.

First-time dad, 2 months in. The people who frame kids as a "burden" are robbing themselves of the most clarifying experience a human can have. It's not a sacrifice, it's literally THE thing.

This past weekend in Dallas at American Airlines Center: a sea of indians turning the plaza into a chaotic foreign dance party. It doesn’t matter where you go in DFW anymore. They’re literally everywhere.
