FINALLY, the media is waking up to the fact that the only way to stand up to Trump is refusing to cover him, thereby cutting off his oxygen. Now will it stop covering his rallies and "announcements"? nytimes.com/live/2026/09/21/…
I often disagree with Nikole Hannah Jones, but the raw honesty of this piece is extraordinary. Both it, and the original meditation on her daughter's education, are required reading. nytimes.com/2026/09/20/magaz…
WTF? “An ambulance with blacked-out windows was used to drive Mr. Pezeshkian around, while a secure video connection was established… an interlocutor for Ayatollah Khamenei appeared on a monitor and purportedly passed messages between the two men.” nytimes.com/2026/09/13/world…

Book Recommendation: Robert Boynton's The Invitation-Only Zone is the definitive account of North Korea's abduction program. It's about real state policy, not conspiracy.
