The Monday Essay How the push for medical aid in dying distorts our understanding of life. By Published January 13, 2025 I changed my mind about euthanasia in June 2015. Until then, I had favored making “death with dignity” accessible so that people could avoid the hardest part of dying. I believed (and still do) that medicine often prioritizes length of life over quality of life. I did (and do) hate the framing of a “battle” with a terminal illness that is eventually lost.

It’s past time to banish the American ruling class. Published December 2, 2024 If there’s a word for the guy with the hook who yanks vaudeville performers off the stage after they’ve overstayed their welcome, I’m the premature version of that. Too eager. When Barack Obama wrested the Democratic nomination from Hillary Rodham Clinton in 2008, I wrote that I was grateful at least that we wouldn’t have to write about the Clintons anymore.

As the sexes drift further apart, a Victorian novel reminds us why friendship between men and women matters. Published November 23, 2024 Are the gender wars back? With viral TikToks of tearful millennials lamenting the “total nightmare” of modern dating, polls throughout the election season showing Gen Z men and women diverging politically, and reports of women embracing the abstinent 4B movement in response to Donald Trump’s presidential win, it sure seems so.

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio—They come to Ohio from one of the most desperately poor places in the Western Hemisphere. They have few to no belongings. In many cases, they are uneducated, and most don’t speak English well. They do not understand the local culture where they have settled—and it shows: in their dress, in their speech, in their manners, in their housing arrangements, in the food they eat, and in the music they dance to.

Happy Sunday! I grew up in the same community my dad did, and walked some of the same school hallways. In fact, his senior class was the first to graduate from the high school building I would later graduate from. It’s also where my grandmother—his mom—was a faculty member after spending years as an elementary school teacher. So even now, when I go back home to visit my parents, it’s not uncommon to run into folks around town my grandmother taught in school—and hear them express their gratitude.

The time is coming for undecided voters to make a choice. Published September 14, 2024 We continue this week in this note’s obsessive focus on undecided and highly persuadable voters. But I am unashamed. If we devoted the next seven editions before Election Day to that little sliver of the electorate—maybe just 6 percent—it wouldn’t be too much.

I know you are but what am I? Published September 14, 2024 Much like the crackpots that have descended upon his inbox, Jonah is disgruntled, paranoid, and cranky. This week’s Ruminant concerns the fallout of the Harris/Trump debate, bullies and Jew-haters, and Tenet Media’s insensible goons.
