Kennedy […] Read more ›

In the hours and days after Charlie Kirk’s killing, the breadth of people — particularly younger ones — sharing grief and shock on newsfeeds, Instagram stories, or TikTok livestreams might have been surprising.

In the days since the killing of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk, the overwhelming response on the left has been shock and horror. No one of prominence has justified the killing; hundreds, from Democratic Party leadership on down, have condemned political violence.

The other day, economist Tyler Cowen made an offhand observation that took me aback a bit: that the French, today, enjoy “the longest financed retirements ever seen in the history of the world.” Verifying the “history of the world” part is beyond my historical skill level. That said, the OECD’s Pensions at a Glance report […] Read more ›

An ambulance wailed in the distance. It […] Read more ›

Millions of Americans just witnessed a killing. On Wednesday, scattered amid social media’s banal ephemera — tired memes, partisan agit-prop, and celebrity gossip — appeared a video of a young man speaking into a microphone, then recoiling from a gunshot to the neck. For hours, this snuff film was impossible to escape, the atrocity autoplaying […] Read more ›

If you haven’t seen the video of a bullet killing Charlie Kirk on a college campus in Utah, you’re one of the lucky ones. When most people opened X, Instagram, YouTube, or any other platform on Wednesday afternoon, the gore was there waiting for them. This was by design. While images of graphic violence have […] Read more ›

Charlie Kirk, 31, observed the Jewish Sabbath. It was a little detail buried near the bottom of one of the many profiles published since news broke that the conservative leader was killed on Wednesday.

US Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is at war with the nation’s public health establishment. He’s overseen mass layoffs at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; canceled $500 million in federal funding for mRNA vaccine development; and promised to end the bias against “alternative medicine.” The country’s leading scientists and physicians have started […] Read more ›

We all know that it’s better to save five people’s lives than to save only one. But in 1977, one philosopher dared to argue…maybe it isn’t? “Should the Numbers Count?” by John Taurek is among the few modern philosophy papers that might fairly be described as infamous.

Apple did something wild at its big annual new iPhone event on Tuesday: It announced a phone that’s actually new. It’s called the iPhone Air, and it’s thin — “the thinnest iPhone ever” — light, and eye-catching.
