IT ALSO HELPS THAT HE SECRETLY WANTS TO BE DUPED:
Nick Kristof doesn't think Palestinians lie to him because he thinks he is above them and is incapable of being duped by a poor. It's a common theme in Western parroting of third world lies.

…just to cover their modus operandi.
HE CAN’T GO TOO SOON: Dead Starmer Walking? “The Mirror‘s current count has at least 75 Labour MPs calling for Starmer’s ouster from Number 10 Downing Street. While far short of a majority, it does show that there seems to be no fear of of declaring opposition to Starmer, which suggests he’s in a perilously weak position. And in truth, it’s hard to think of any leaders bouncing back from such an electoral disaster.”

CAN I TELL MYSELF TO BUY GOOGLE IN 2004: Physicists say it’s possible to send messages to the past.
A FEMALE FRIEND COMMENTS, “IF I LOOKED LIKE HER THERE WOULD BE NOT CLOTHES EVER!” ‘Euphoria’ faces backlash after Sydney Sweeney’s most X-rated episode yet.
I haven’t watched a single episode, but from what I hear this season’s writing sucks, and Sydney Sweeney is the only reason to watch. Sounds plausible. But I feel like the writers, or at least Sydney, have their fingers on the nation’s pulse:
An off-camera voice responds, “You sound like a Democrat.” Cassie laughs before replying with a derogatory slur: “I’m not r——-.”
In another clip, Cassie adds, “I just feel like American men have been treated like second-class citizens.”
“In the past, men used to be hunters, gatherers, and protectors. Now, they’re being forced to walk around on their tippy toes. It’s not natural,” she continues.
You could write a book on that.

ALEXANDER MUSE: Captain Kelly Strikes Again, The Benedict Arnold Arc Reaches Its Predictable Final Chapter.
Last November I argued in these pages that Senator Mark Kelly had crossed a structural threshold that earlier American history identified with one name, Benedict Arnold. The comparison was not designed for shock. It was designed to isolate a pattern. A decorated warrior earns public trust, then spends that trust against the lawful authority of the nation that conferred it. Kelly had recorded a vertical TikTok video, in coordination with five colleagues, instructing junior enlisted troops that the Commander in Chief was issuing illegal orders and that disobedience was a duty. I called that an opening move in a domestic color revolution. Many readers thought the framing was too strong.
Yesterday on Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan, Senator Kelly removed any remaining doubt.
Read the whole thing.

SpaceX is only ~200 satellites away from having launched as many satellites as the rest of the world combined

200 satellites is roughly eight Falcon 9 launches for Starlink — or about three weeks’ worth of missions at SpaceX’s current cadence.
