“He sits at the table waiting to be served,” writes a disgruntled dad of three. “When he finishes, he leaves the plate there for someone else to clear.”
Our advice columnist @npub1q09…2wzc weighs in: “Eli, ask yourself why it bothers you so much that an old man ‘contributes nothing’ when he visits your home.”

There’s a new type of book out there, one that tries to make everything in the world about Gaza and Israel, introducing a new dark political parable with a familiar villain—Jews.
In a new essay for The Free Press, @npub1ct2…ry75 explores what ‘Gazology’ says about the West today.

In the weeks since the U.S. and Israel launched their joint assault on Iran, perhaps no American has more aggressively and publicly rallied behind the Islamic Republic than Calla Walsh. From her new base in Lebanon, the 21-year-old Cambridge-raised activist has taken to social media and left-wing podcasts to incite her fellow countrymen and women to sabotage U.S. and Israeli defense contractors wherever they can find them.

Then, the boy was found alive.

“If the ‘Babygirl’ buzz is to be believed, there is an epidemic of dissatisfaction among women of a certain age and level of achievement—an existential malaise for which the only cure is to break vows, shatter norms and, most importantly, do the deed of darkness.” @npub1p3x…sd4k

“Films like ‘Babygirl’ are brave in that they acknowledge that women, empowered to have sex like men, will do exactly that... Where they fail is in pretending that this makes them heroic figures, as opposed to total sleazebags.” @npub1p3x…sd4k https://thefp.pub/3DS3f9p

Watch Daniel Penny’s first interrogation: “I’m not trying to kill the guy.”
The FP’s [@olivia_reingold](https://bird.makeup/users/olivia_reingold ) has been closely following Daniel Penny’s trial and has obtained footage of his police interrogation.
In the video, Penny initially believes he’s there to report on the “lunatic” who was “threatening people” on the train. But as the questioning unfolds, it becomes clear that the officers don’t see him as a Good Samaritan—they see him as a criminal suspect. https://t.co/zBSKvDIQ5E

The FP’s @npub1d3f…es3q on CNN explains why the Democrats “blew it”:
“They didn’t lose because they failed to trot out enough celebrity influencers. They lost because they were consumed by their own self-flattery, their own sense of self-importance. They should have spent the past eight years learning from the Republicans’ very honest, if flawed, conversation about the plight of America. But they insisted on talking to themselves about the things that made them feel morally superior.” https://t.co/j3bHi37D5Z
