Two authors are suing Los Angeles over the LA Public Library’s cancellation of a Read Palestine Week event meant to share Palestinian stories. Libraries censoring authors who write about Palestine sets a dangerous precedent that we must oppose.

Five weeks from right now, polls will be closing and we’ll all be watching the election results come in. Whether the people win back power or the fascists consolidate control comes down to the work we do over these next 35 days.

Another thing about fraternities is that the hazing rituals where slightly older young men would physically, mentally emotionally and sometimes even sexually abuse slightly younger young men have always disturbed and upset me greatly. And it’s really telling that I’ve seen men defend those too

Jack Smith made it crystal clear that his investigation was sound and lawful, that the president had committed crimes and that the GOP attacks on him were the actual weaponization of our justice system. He showed courage and moral clarity and continues to be one of the heroes of this moment.

Being a billionaire must be insane. You can buy new teeth, new skin. All your chairs cost 20,000 dollars and weigh 2,000 pounds. Your life is just a series of your own preferences. In terms of cognitive impairment it's probably like being kicked in the head by a horse every day

Old folks looking after old folks: in England, 82% of carers who care for someone aged 75 or older are themselves 75 or older. (Examples: my cousin (79) looking after her mum (102), or me in less than two years.) For more on the burden of care, see my latest: www.cobbsblog.com/2026/09/unpa...

A bar chart from the Survey of adult carers in England 2025 to 2026 published by the UK Government. The bars indicate the age of people caring for someone, grouped by the age of the person cared for. For example, 82% of carers who care for someone aged 75 or older are themselves 75 or older.

In 2027 Seattle's minimum wage will be $22.14 per hour. That's more than THREE TIMES the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour—a rate that hasn't been raised since 2009. And yet somehow we're not the jobless wasteland orthodox economics would predict. Weird.

Here is a sample of Denby's economic expertise: "Bond markets... don't believe in Britain, they think we are too much of a risk, because of our out-of-control spending and our out-of-control taxes and all of those things." I hope the Nobel Economics Prize Committee is paying attention.

For me, the hardest thing about stories like the Cornell gang rape case isn’t reading the initial details—although that is hard. What’s even harder is when men online, especially the journalists and pundits, start trying to combat the feminist outrage by purposefully seeding doubt and victim-blaming

60 million Americans provide unpaid care for an adult family member, neighbour or friend. That amounted to roughly 50 billion hours of care in 2024. That's a lot, but caring for someone actually takes a lot more than hours of care, as I explain in this article.

Imagine if men spent more time building & repairing things to improve their community instead of having a circle je*k about their feelings, right wing doom scrolling, and complaining about women. There is no male loneliness crisis, you're just yearning for constructive purpose.

Everything Trump and his cabinet have said about the deal is false. Venezuelan law governing oil does not allow for 100-yr deals, or anything longer than 25 years. And US law doesn't allow us to own shares in companies. Plus, the deal as structured won’t bring new capital to Venezuela’s oil sector.

Experts are ultimately skeptical the oil deal can hold together. “The deal is like the big beautiful wall that Mexico will pay for,” said former US diplomat John Feeley.

‘Skin in the game’
It was less than a month after the January US raid that toppled Maduro that Exxon’s CEO, Darren Woods, said the country was “uninvestable” because of the “legal and commercial constructs and frameworks in place today”.

Two people familiar with the process said Trump began looking for a way to make sure the US had “skin in the game” – financial ownership that would put investors at ease. The potential answer became the US stake in Betancourt’s firm, North American Blue Energy Partners.

Though the White House and defense department say it has 35% ownership, the Pentagon told lawmakers on the congressional armed services committee in a written briefing seen by the Guardian it has “warrants” in Nabep: rights to purchase shares, rather than the shares themselves.
