自由新闻务虚会、哈马斯领导人和世界自由金融代币

本周，巴里韦斯宣布了一项吸引黑人男性选民的新举措。一些背景：她在黑人男性中的民意调查出奇地薄弱。只有 73% 的黑人表示他们会支持韦斯，这是过去三个周期中民主党候选人支持率的最低水平

Welcome back. Monday is a Free Press “retreat,” by which I mean the entire team is decamping to the New York office for a day. Spoiler: It’s a mistake to invite the Floridians. Bari insists we hire a magician to make dinner special one night, to which I say “No, and also we should do a cash bar.” Here, I can do the card trick myself: Oh look the card’s gone, how are you planning on hitting your Q4 numbers? No plan? Give me back your second slice of pizza.

欢迎回来。周一是新闻自由的“静修会”，我的意思是整个团队将前往纽约办公室休息一天。剧透：邀请佛罗里达人是一个错误。巴里坚持要求我们聘请一位魔术师让晚餐变得特别，我对此说：“不，我们还应该做一个现金吧。”在这里，我可以自己玩纸牌戏法：哦，看看纸牌不见了，你打算如何达到第四季度的数字？没有计划吗？把你的第二片披萨还给我。

SinwarI know you’re here for my thoughts and condolences for the felled Hamas leader, Yahya Sinwar. Obviously, please read our latest by Matti Friedman for that. All I’ll say is that as a Columbia University graduate and a #GayForHamas, my progress flag is at half-staff.

辛瓦尔 我知道你们来这里是为了表达我对哈马斯领导人叶海亚·辛瓦尔的思念和哀悼。显然，请阅读马蒂·弗里德曼 (Matti Friedman) 的最新文章。我想说的是，作为哥伦比亚大学的毕业生和#GayForHamas，我的进步旗帜已降半旗。

Here’s a Washington Post investigations reporter explaining that Israel getting Sinwar actually shows how wrong Israel was: “Would be interesting if Sinwar were killed in this seemingly chance encounter, with less than a handful of guards, and not underground surrounded by hostages as Israeli government sources regularly told the media.” Yes, see, the IDF said they were having trouble killing Sinwar because he was underground and surrounded by hostages, but then they killed him when he came above ground and didn’t have hostages. An Israel fail if there ever was one! Anyway, goodnight ruthless terrorist who slaughtered innocents, the sweet prince of Harvard Yard.

《华盛顿邮报》的一名调查记者解释说，以色列抓到辛瓦尔实际上表明了以色列的错误有多大：“如果辛瓦尔在这次看似偶然的遭遇中被杀，那会很有趣，只有不到几个警卫，而且不像以色列政府消息来源那样被人质包围在地下。”经常告诉媒体。”是的，看，以色列国防军说他们很难杀死辛瓦尔，因为他在地下并且被人质包围，但当他来到地面并且没有人质时他们杀死了他。如果有的话，以色列就失败了！不管怎样，晚安，残忍的恐怖分子，屠杀无辜者，哈佛校园里可爱的王子。

Is this legal?Kamala Harris this week announced a new initiative to lure black male voters. Some context: Her polling among black men is surprisingly weak. Only 73 percent of black men say they will support Harris, the lowest margin of support for a Democratic candidate in the past three cycles (Biden won 87 percent of the black male vote). Obama chastised them last week, telling the “brothers” he was speaking to that their support of Trump is probably rooted in his skill at “putting women down”—something Obama apparently thinks resonates with black men but offends even me. Obama added: “Part of it makes me think that, well, you aren’t feeling the idea of having a woman as president and you’re coming up with other alternatives and other reasons for that.” So it’s mommy issues? To try and win over black men, Kamala dropped a new policy on KamalaHarris.com:

这合法吗？卡马拉·哈里斯本周宣布了一项吸引黑人男性选民的新举措。一些背景：她在黑人男性中的民意调查出奇地薄弱。只有 73% 的黑人表示他们会支持哈里斯，这是过去三个周期中民主党候选人的最低支持率（拜登赢得了 87% 的黑人男性选票）。奥巴马上周严厉批评了他们，告诉与他交谈的“兄弟”，他们对特朗普的支持可能源于他“贬低女性”的技巧——奥巴马显然认为这会引起黑人男性的共鸣，但甚至冒犯了我。奥巴马补充道：“这让我觉得，好吧，你并没有感受到让女性担任总统的想法，你正在为此想出其他选择和其他原因。”所以是妈妈的问题吗？为了争取黑人男性的支持，卡马拉在 KamalaHarris.com 上放弃了一项新政策：

Is that paying off voters? And is it legal to offer government loans just for one race? I’m not a constitutional scholar (in my heart I feel I am, but I’m trying to seem relatable), but even I know that feels illegal. Soon after Kamala’s announcement, she walked it back. Whoops, the loans are actually open for everyone, not just black men. But she and her team always knew that.

这是给选民的回报吗？仅为一场比赛提供政府贷款是否合法？我不是一个宪法学者（在我心里我觉得我是，但我试图让自己看起来有共鸣），但即使我知道这感觉是非法的。卡玛拉宣布这一消息后不久，她又收回了这一说法。哎呀，贷款实际上对所有人开放，而不仅仅是黑人。但她和她的团队一直都知道这一点。

She also included an initiative for cryptocurrency in the proposal. I didn’t think of crypto as a black guy–specific issue. I actually think more of very small, pale men who over-rely on their microwave. But now I’m really curious.

她还在提案中纳入了加密货币倡议。我并不认为加密货币是黑人特有的问题。事实上，我更多地想到的是过度依赖微波炉的身材矮小、脸色苍白的男人。但现在我真的很好奇。

Meanwhile, a pro-Kamala group called “Creatives for Harris” put out a new ad meant to appeal to men who might be on the fence about voting for Kamala Harris. The actors they hired to play the men look like men, yes, well done. One is super fat and one has a beard, to indicate maleness. But the script was so clearly written by women, probably over some Sweetgreen, and it’s so bad it’s charming. Here are real lines from the guys in the ad (or what the ladies at “Creatives for Kamala” imagine men talk like):

与此同时，一个名为“哈里斯创意”的支持卡马拉团体推出了一则新广告，旨在吸引那些可能对投票给卡马拉·哈里斯持观望态度的男性。他们雇来扮演男人的演员看起来像男人，是的，做得很好。一个非常胖，一个留着胡子，以表明男性。但剧本显然是由女性写的，可能是在一些甜绿上写的，虽然很糟糕，但很迷人。以下是广告中男人们的真实台词（或者是“Creatives for Kamala”的女士们想象男人们会说的话）：

I’m a man. I’m a man. I’m a man. I’m a man, man. I’m man enough to enjoy a barrel proof bourbon. Neat. I’m man enough to dead-lift 500 and braid the shit out of my daughter’s hair. You think I’m afraid to rebuild a carburetor? I eat carburetors for breakfast. I ain’t afraid of bears: That’s what bear hugs are for. I’m not afraid of women. A woman wants to be president? Well, I hope she has the guts to look me right in the eye and accept my full-throated endorsement. Because I’m man enough to support women. Man enough to know what kind of donuts I like. I’m man enough to raw-dog a flight. I’m man enough to be emotional in front of my wife, in front of my kids, in front of my horse.

我是一个男人。我是一个男人。我是一个男人。我是一个男人，男人。我有足够的男子气概来享受桶装波本威士忌。整洁的。我有足够的男子气概，能硬拉 500 米，还能把我女儿的头发编成辫子。你认为我害怕重建化油器吗？我早餐吃化油器。我不怕熊：这就是熊抱的目的。我不怕女人。女人想当总统？好吧，我希望她有勇气直视我的眼睛并接受我的全力支持。因为我是个男人，足以支持女人。足够男人知道我喜欢什么样的甜甜圈。我有足够的男子气概去飞行。我是一个足够男人的人，可以在我的妻子面前、在我的孩子面前、在我的马面前表现出情绪化。

Something about full-throated, raw-dogging, and crying in front of the horse makes me really uncomfortable. This isn’t an ad for someone who has ever met a straight man, let alone interacted with one. If it were, it would be communicated in grunts.

嗓门大、粗暴地缠着马、在马面前哭泣让我真的很不舒服。这不是一则针对曾经见过直男的人的广告，更不用说与直男互动过的人了。如果是的话，就会用咕噜声来传达。

We promise there’

我们保证在那里'
