    A Shadow War for the Future of Feminism Occurred at MTV's Award Show — and Men Were the Big Winners (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    If I were to pick two topics that fell well outside my wheelhouse, they would have to be feminist theory and contemporary pop music. Indeed, having stopped following the latest musical trends years ago and resigned myself to cycling through my pre-2010 collection of “classic rock” and “oldies,” I was surprised to learn recently that MTV was still around. The channel, once the standard-bearer in youth culture, has waned considerably in influence, even announcing last year that it would stop playi

    A Much-Needed Dose of AI Optimism (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Over the weekend, Elon Musk shared a short video on X depicting an amazing vision of humanity’s future. Advanced robots work alongside humans, flying vehicles glide between gleaming cities, and humanity expands into space and establishes civilizations on other planets. At one point, the video describes a world “where natural and artificial minds collaborated.” Musk added a comment to the video, saying that “this is the future we shall bring into being.” This is the future we shall bring into bei

    A Few Stray 'Terminators' Are Worth Blocking Leftists From an AI Information Monopoly (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    For fun, I recently asked Google Gemini to make a picture of me with a Donald Trump face tattoo, inspired by a viral post I saw (sadly also AI-generated, according to the Community Note on X). My only gripe would be that I actually have more hair — but, at the same time, the Twitter Trolls who once labeled me “Temu Ron Howard” were not entirely off base. New ink. Swipe right? https://t.co/WHec70n8No pic.twitter.com/0Xv5wCQCXM The output, I have to admit, offered pretty surefire evidence that AI

    The Odd Calculus of Commemorating 9/11 (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    This year marks the 25th anniversary of a great disaster: the last time I took a college math course. In the fall of 2001, I enrolled in statistics as a prerequisite to a psychology major. I wound up being utterly defeated by the many formulas that needed to be memorized, often using the same Greek letters that were painted on the steps of U.Va.’s neoclassical buildings, denoting the presence of secret societies. In both cases, they were equally esoteric to me. Despite having had a great Psych 1

    Marxist University Profs Spew Tone-Deaf Calls for Violence Ahead of 9/11, Charlie Kirk Anniversaries (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    The first anniversary of Charlie Kirk’s assassination on Sept. 10 and the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks the day after make the next few days a particularly poignant time to reflect on the scourge of political violence and extremist rhetoric in America. They also make it a remarkably callous time for radical leftists — be they supporters of the Trantifa movement, sympathizers of Islamic terrorism or those otherwise predisposed to a Bolshevik mindset — to issue open exhortatio
