Why Evolution is True is a blog written by Jerry Coyne, centered on evolution and biology but also dealing with diverse topics like politics, culture, and cats.
I swear, the “Progressive” Democrats are as obsessed with Israel as is the United Nations. Nellie Bowles, a center-right Democrat, reports on this in her weekly snarky news summary at The Free Press, with the latest edition called “TGIF: Dark Brandon Edition.” One of the many items in her regular column, worth the price of … Continue reading The Authoritarian Left’s obsession with Israel
Posting will be all but nonexistent today as the Academic Freedom Conference continues. I have no time to report on it, but there will be more tomorrow (I found out that Jordan Peterson will be there, as well as Douglas Murray). I’ve also heard rumors that the students are planning some kind of protest. (They … Continue reading Hili dialogue (and Academic Freedom Conference)
As you know, we have a spate of new words for “woman” or “women”, all devised to either efface the distinction between biological women and transwomen, or to include transmen (many of whom still have male genitals, have periods and can bear children) together in a group with biological women. If you say, “trans women … Continue reading Yet another word for “women”
Both the New York Post (in an editorial-board opinion piece) and the Free Press‘s Nellie Bowles, in her TGIF column this week, report that this political cartoon appeared in the Washington Post, but then was taken down by the editor.

In Polish: Hili: Kiedy ludzie zostali udomowieni przez koty?Ja: Jak tylko ludzie przestali … Continue reading Saturday: Hili dialogue (and other stuff)

Sadly, I didn’t sleep a wink last night. To see what notable events happened on this day, or which famous people were … Continue reading Saturday: Hili dialogue
I don’t mean to imply by the headline that Ms. Weiss is dead, as she isn’t, nor that she’s leaving her Substack site “Common Sense,” which she isn’t, either. Well, actually—yes, she sort of leaving it, and that’s why I’m going to stop subscribing to it it. When I subscribed to her site last April … Continue reading Goodbye, Bari Weiss
Greetings on cat shabbos, Saturday, January 21, 2023: National Clam Chowder Day (clams, like all shellfish, aren’t kosher). Remember, always get the New England style with cream and potatoes, not the so-called “Manhattan style” chowdah with tomatoes. Ecch! Good: Bad: It’s National Granola Bar Day, Squirrel Appreciation Day, Own Your Own Home Day, and National Hugging … Continue reading Saturday: Hili dialogue
