Tyler Cowen supported marijuana legalization but has been underwhelmed by its consequences, citing widespread use, public consumption, concerns about cannabis-induced psychosis, and a lack of meaningful reductions in crime. Even so, he argues that legalizing marijuana and other substances, while imperfect, was the right call.

To My Fellow American Jews: Every one of us will forever remember where we were on October 7 when we learned that Hamas had infiltrated Israel and began a campaign of mass kidnapping, mass rape, and mass murder. By the time the marauding terrorists had finished, 1,000 Israeli civilians were dead. Scores of women and men had been raped. 250 grandmothers, babies, toddlers, men, and women had been taken hostage. Most of us will also remember the certainty with which we expected our friends, colleagues, political allies on the Left to stand by us, given that many American Jews spent their whole lives advocating for Left-wing causes, marching and speaking out on behalf of minorities, and raising money for Democrats. And we will forever remember the shock and horror when we realized that no one was coming. Not only were they not coming out in support of the Israeli victims of Hamas’s savagery, but they were marching for the other side. I often hear from a new kind of Jew—they call themselves October 8 Jews. They are Jews for whom their Jewish identity was more background than foreground for most of their lives. They were bagel and lox Jews who were pro-Israel but didn’t put much thought into it. After October 7, their Jewish identity surged within them. They became Jews who were part of history. And that intensification coalesced around their Zionism—their commitment to the existence of the Jewish state on our ancestral homeland. And yet, at the same time that their Zionism was intensifying, it was becoming a liability on the Left—a slur, a verboten ideology that the Left freely calls racist. They began accusing Zionists of supporting genocide in a disgusting appropriation of the word to smear Israel’s defensive war against Gaza with the crime of the Nazis. The two main components of Jewish American identity—its liberalism and its Zionism—are now in conflict with each other. How did this happen? How did we get here? And where do we go from here? This is the subject of my new book, The Jews and the Left. It explores the history of American Jews and the Left. It’s a tale of love and betrayal. And it explains why liberalism became so central to Jewish American identity, and why the Left turned on us. If you are a Jew struggling with this very question, I hope you will consider picking up a copy. It’s a love song to America that I wrote with the hope that our real history—which begins 300 years before we think it does—will help create a new Jew to overcome our recent disappointments. God bless and protect you. Love, Batya

Such a scene is often framed as proof the Dutch are superhuman—they’re not. The real miracle isn't the Dutch cyclist. It's the environment that allows ordinary people to do extraordinary things. Build the infrastructure, and you'll find your city is full of capable cyclists too.

Copley Square is officially fully open after an $18.9 million renovation. The project added 46 new trees, doubled the park's tree canopy, restored the iconic fountain, expanded green space, improved accessibility, and upgraded the square for events like the Boston Marathon and First Night.

"I'm so deeply disturbed by what I'm witnessing in the State House. I just got word that the House of Representatives is getting ready to pass a bill into law that essentially negates everything that you voted for in the 2024 ballot question to have my office conduct an audit of the legislator and have some independent oversight." - Massachusetts State Auditor Diana DiZoglio @DianaDiZoglio @massauditor

This crash video from richie_engineer on Instagram shows why e-vehicles + two-way bike lanes are such a menace. Richie ended up with a cracked clavicle, the unidentified e-biker sped off telling him to "go cry about it" and he had to hire PI to track him down to sue him.

Less than a year after breaking ground, Foxborough's new @MBTA_CR station is now open. It means more capacity. Better accessibility. Faster, easier trips to games, concerts and everything in between. And it's just in time for @FWC26Boston.

I will soon be introducing a bill to give the public a 50% ownership stake in the largest AI companies in America. This would guarantee that the trillions created by AI are used to improve the lives of all of us — and block oligarch decisions that harm the American people.
