On Being a Zionist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
No one becomes a Zionist these days by reading Herzl. You become a Zionist the first time someone in the room says the word like it’s some kind of diagnosis. That’s also the point where you realize you’re not going to take it back.The following is not an argument, but a way of standing.On having no stakeI should say up front: I’m not Jewish.

An Orgy of OrangeKnoxville, TN — Texas at Tennessee, Neyland Stadium, September 26, 2026, 12:00 p.m. ETLet’s settle this up front, since everyone in East Tennessee demanded we pick a side before they’d even let us park: burnt orange is a color you choose.

Read excerpt
Every Apple keynote comment section has the same guy. “Jobs Guy”. He’s in his forties or fifties, and he’s typing “Steve would never” under a video of a phone that sold more units than Steve ever dreamed of. He’s mad about a headphone port disappearing or the way the home screen is laid out — first-order thinking… cause and effect.Steve would never… Sure… Steve also would never have acknowledged his own daughter, so let’s pump the brakes on Steve Jobs as a moral compass.
