The abuse inflicted on Palestinian detainees at Sde Teiman prison — including the murder of a Palestinian doctor — was inhumane. This one case, brought because the abuse was *caught on camera*, was a small sign that rule of law in Israel still worked.

I only just learned that E.B. White is part of Strunk & White of The Elements of Style... My mind is blown.
Americans can tolerate a genocide in Gaza, ICE killing and kidnapping people, Trump's racism and cruelty, but I do think high gas prices - in addition to all the other chaos - might be a bridge too far.

3 on 3 hockey for the gold medal is absurd & not hockey. It would be like deciding the World cup final with a 5 a side match. Nonsense.

Traitorous is a strong word for Canadians who vacation in the US right now. Wrongheaded, ridiculous and even harsher terms come to mind, but traitorous seems a stretch.

It's amazing to watch American & British chattering classes convinced that democracy is dead / post-liberalism is here because of cultural issues. Not once do they think, it's the economy stupid. Meanwhile, in Canada, land of no billionaires, liberal democracy is alive and well.
