I BELIEVE IN UNIVERSAL HUMAN WORTH, HUMAN RIGHTS of all people, natural rights, and international law-flawed, hypocritical, and ineffective as it can be, it's still a beacon.
My values have long driven my support for peace, an end to Israeli occupation, equality, self-determination for Palestinians. That's still true, even though right-wingers in Israel assume that left-wingers will now admit that on Oct. 7, Hamas proved that Palestinians cannot be trusted, that there is truly no partner for peace. This is a strange argument, since no left-winger ever saw Hamas as a friend; Hamas was always an enemy of peace. Right-wingers also argue Oct. 7 proves that Hamas is embedded within Palestinian society-after all, once Hamas breached the barrier around Gaza, regular Palestinians joined in, and opinion polls among Palestinians show appalling levels of support for Hamas, especially since Israel's invasion.
These are terrible truths. Why has Hamas' strategy held appeal? Hamas has always championed military force to fight Israel rather than negotiations, promising it can win the release of prisoners and champion the Palestinian cause. But consider the path of negotiations: over decades, each round failed, for which each side bears some blame; in the meantime, Israeli occupation, settlements, and de facto annexation spread. The world largely moved on.

The journalist and the jinx in a suburban standoff
CLAIRE DANES GETS A LOT OF ATTENTION for her “cry face.” It is, indeed, a sight to behold. Engulfed by waves of sorrow, her chin vibrates, her eyes scrunch, the corners of her mouth turn down as though tugged by invisible weights.

LIVING IN PUBLIC
“The camera eats first.” A decade ago, that phrase was a joke about influencers and their avocado toast. Now it's shorthand for how every corner of life—dinners, cleaning, milestones, even grief—can be packaged for public consumption. We live in a world where intimacy has become inventory, where the difference between living and posting is often just a matter of lighting.

The food pyramid may be back on the menu
EARLY PUBLIC NUTRITION ADVICE CAME AS A WARNING. Wilbur O. Atwater, a chemist and renowned nutritionist, wrote in an 1902 edition of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) digest, Farmers' Bulletin, that \"Unless care is exercised in selecting food, a diet may result which is one-sided or badly balanced—that is, one in which either protein or fuel ingredients (carbohydrate and fat) are provided in excess ... The evils of overeating may not be felt at once, but sooner or later they are sure to appear.\"

A seductive Dangerous Liaisons remix, with feminist intentions
There are no heroes in Les Liaisons Dangereuses, Pierre Choderlos de Laclos' 1782 novel of end-stage French aristocratic decadence. Its chief villain is Marquise Isabelle de Merteuil, a master manipulator who exploits her former lover the Vicomte de Valmont's resurgent desire for her with a wager that dooms them both. As a teenage Fiona Apple dryly noted: “It's a sad, sad world when a girl will break a boy just because she can.”
