CLASH OF THE STEPHENS: MILLER 1, KING 0.
I’m sorry that your brain is so poisoned by toxic ideology that you would pretend that an organized criminal conspiracy to assault, dox, attack, obstruct, impede and murder federal law enforcement and their families is anything but domestic terrorism and violent insurrection.

SADLY TRUE:
Honestly, the Democratic Party is in total moral collapse.
Jay Jones was exposed fantasizing about murdering his opponent’s CHILDREN, and Democrats still endorsed him.
They are giving a freaking PASS to someone who wants to kill his rivals' children…
Beyond horrifying.

BEN FREEMAN: I’m Leaving the UK.
For years I clung to the belief that, despite the rise in hostility to the Jewish community, we could still build lives here. I had watched from abroad during Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership of the Labour Party from 2015 to 2020, when Jew-hate poisoned the party and seeped into wider politics. Yet, despite my deep disappointment, I still believed in this country enough to move back from Hong Kong in 2022. I wanted to believe the Jewish story here still had a future, and I was determined to be a part of it.
October 7, 2023, changed everything. Hamas carried out the deadliest attack on Jews since the Holocaust, and instead of residents recoiling in horror, Britain’s streets filled with marches that celebrated it. Even after two Jews were massacred in Manchester yesterday, on Yom Kippur, the marches continued.
Jew-hatred has become mainstream here. It has been excused by leaders. It has been embedded in a culture where terrorism is justified and Jewish suffering denied. You see it in the tearing down of hostage posters across Britain’s cities, a painful message that Jewish lives do not matter. You can see it in the way Jew-hatred and violence are always paired with condemnations of “Islamophobia.” You can see it in a justice system that treats public displays of Judaism as a threat to public safety, rather than the Islamists who cause the danger. You can see it in placards calling for the destruction of the world’s only Jewish state and for the genocide of Jews, and in crowds carrying the flags of proscribed terror organizations such as Hamas and Hezbollah. These are not, and have never been, pro-Palestinian marches. They are, at their very core, anti-Jewish. They are about stigmatizing Jews as perpetrators of mass murder—and therefore creating the permission structure for violence against us.

TECH: Apple iPhone 17 Pro review: Come for the camera, stay for the battery. If your iPhone is your main or only camera, the iPhone 17 Pro is for you. “It’s as though Apple anticipated the main complaints about the iPhone Air—why would I want a phone with worse battery and fewer cameras, why don’t they just make the phone thicker so they can fit in more things—and made a version of the iPhone that they could point to and say, ‘We already make that phone—it’s that one over there.'”
JOANNE JACOBS: Teaching kids the habits of anxious, depressed people isn’t working well.
For Generation Z, personalities are now defined as disorders, writes Freya India. In a 2024 survey, 72 percent of Gen-Z girls said “mental health challenges are an important part of my identity.”
Adults diagnosed with mild autism, ADHD, depression and other syndromes often feel better, writes Ellen Barry in the New York Times. But the relief at having a name for their challenges fades over time. They feel less self-blame, but also “greater pessimism about recovery.”
Young adults who were diagnosed with disorders such as depression and ADHD in their teens do slightly worse than those with similar symptoms who weren’t diagnosed, concludes a large study by Cliodhna O’Connor, an associate professor of psychology at University College Dublin. “After controlling for symptom severity and socio-demographic factors,” the study found “young adults who were diagnosed with depression in adolescence had worse depression symptoms later, despite getting treatment,” reports Barry. Those diagnosed with ADHD “had worse peer relationships, worse self-image and worse emotional well-being.” The diagnosis lowers expectations.
For a 15-year-old, a diagnosis can be a “self-fulfilling prophecy,” warns Suzanne O’Sullivan, an Irish neurologist, in The Age of Diagnosis.
For some diagnoses, such as neurodevelopmental disorders like A.D.H.D. or autism, there’s not [a] path to recovery, she told Barry. “Although you’re relieved to feel explained and you’ve found a tribe, you are now trapped into an illness through the way you conceptualize it as a biological inevitability.”
