Great explanation of state laws granting massive tax breaks to private golf courses. The 300-member L.A. Country Club was built in 1897 and has 330 acres of prime real estate. Using fair use, property tax is estimated at $60-$90M yearly. LACC pays ~$300K. #taxgolf www.taxnotes.com/featured-ana...

Parents refusing the vitamin K shot for their newborns has increased by 57% in 2026 alone. This puts their babies at risk for brain and GI bleeds. Rate of refusal is higher for girls than boys, as some hospitals won’t circumcise male infants unless they’ve had the shot. RFK Jr. caused this.

One of the worst: "What, uniquely, does writing do? It compels thought." The above is wrong in every aspect. I mean, if you must, "what does writing do that's unique?" Second, and this should be profoundly obvious, many things other than writing compel thought. #BretStephens

Honestly, if this is what your writing looks like after years as a professional columnist, fuck it. Just go ahead and use AI.
Do none of these things not because they are unethical. Writing with A.I. is unethical when it’s a deception: when you pass off words, ideas and information as your own when they aren’t. An acknowledgment can largely address the problem. Do none of these things, either, because you might be able to learn to write better than an A.I. can. Pretty soon, if not already, you won’t, just as you can’t outrun a car or outplay a chess app.
