The dirty secret about OnlyFans

It’s not hot to be a prostitute

Haven’t you heard? Prostitution is empowering. Liberated super-vixen and self-described feminist Lily Phillips, 23, has declared she is to embark on the sticky Sisyphean task of bedding 1,000 men in one day. Other OnlyFans “models” — a tellingly bashful euphemism — have tried to drive engagement in an arms race of headline-grabbing stunts. One woman claimed to have slept with, and destroyed the marriage of, Tommy Fury; another, camgirl Bonnie Blue, boasted of taking the virginities of scores of freshers in a matter of hours. “Parents should be thanking me,” she told the Daily Mail.

The latter story sent ripples through my friendship group; we were horrified by Blue’s ragebait provocations that all men should cheat unless their girlfriends are “treating them every day”. Blue, a former escort, has made millions filming encounters with married men for her OnlyFans, and her star rose when she turned on the disgruntled girlfriends of her punters, whom she called, flatly, “lazy”. It is for these statements, calculated not to arouse men but to annoy women, that she is famous.

Sara Sharif’s father and stepmother are found guilty of murder before fleeing to Pakistan

Sara Sharif’s evil father faces life in prison today for the murder of the schoolgirl failed by authorities after a decade of missed opportunities to stop a monster.

Urfan Sharif beat his 10-year-old daughter to death in an act of unspeakable brutality after spending 16 years torturing women and children.

The next day the 42-year-old taxi driver fled to his native Pakistan with his wife and willing accomplice Beinash Batool, 30, thinking he would get away with it after police repeatedly failed to bring charges when assaults were reported by three women and two children.

Does the West Need a Palestinian State?

Palestine would be a ‘failing state,’ characterized by internal conflicts and armed actions against its neighbors.

The governments of Ireland, Spain, and Norway want to recognize a non-existent Palestinian state, just as other, predominantly Muslim states have done since the United Nations elevated the status of the Palestinians to that of a quasi-state in 1988. But this status does not actually make the territory a state. Point three of the Montevideo Convention, one of the relevant lists of criteria for statehood under international law, emphasizes, “The political existence of the state is independent of recognition by the other states.”

In other respects, too, the Palestinians do not fulfill the criteria for statehood. The population of the Palestinian territories consists of very different, mutually disunited Arab tribes, clans, and immigrant groups that emerged from the ruins of the Ottoman Empire. They settled in and around the nascent Jewish state when proximity to the Jewish enterprises became lucrative. For decades, efforts have been made to declare this heterogeneous population a kind of nation, with a common culture, history, and goals, united by the narrative of the so-called Nakba, said to designate their expulsion and persecution by Israel.

GM Calls It Quits on Cruise Robotaxi After Spending $10 Billion

This isn’t really a surprise at this point. GM’s Cruise robotaxi service went off the road more than a year ago after a terrible accident in San Francisco and lost its right to operate in the city. Not long after that the company laid off about 1/4 of its workforce. Yesterday, GM announced it was pulling the plug on the whole project despite having spent about $10 billion on it.

From bike lanes to carbon tax to guns — these initiatives don’t stand up to critical analysis

In this “post-truth” era, Toronto’s hardened bike lanes, the carbon tax, and the Liberal party’s efforts to penalize trained hunters and licensed target shooters are all drawn from the same hymn book. Progressive politicians announced each heartfelt initiative as an evidence-based solution that was beyond reproach — and yet, as time passes, none have withstood the slightest critical analysis.

Advocates of cycling infrastructure promised us improved cyclist safety, personal health benefits, reductions in carbon and noise emissions, as well as reduced traffic congestion. Sounds dreamy.

The Star’s designated “right-winger” is doing OK.

The Explosion of Jew-Hate in Justin Trudeau’s Canada

We rarely run pieces this long. But today’s investigation—the story of how antisemitism became deeply embedded in Justin Trudeau’s Canada—called for it. This is a piece worth reading carefully. It is relevant not just to our many Canadian readers, but to anyone invested in the future of the West. —Bari Weiss

For Sarah Rugheimer, a professor of astronomy at York University in Toronto, the first sign of the virulent strain of antisemitism now embedded in Justin Trudeau’s Canada appeared on a lamppost.

It was a few weeks after the Hamas massacre of last October 7. Rugheimer, 41, was walking in a park near her home in the city’s quiet Cedarvale neighborhood when she saw a poster of the Israeli hostage Elad Katzir, a 47-year-old farmer from Kibbutz Nir Oz, covered with swastikas.

In the days that followed, as the war raged in Gaza, swastikas turned up all over Cedarvale. They also started appearing on the York campus, where Rugheimer serves as the Allan I. Carswell Chair for the Public Understanding of Astronomy. As fall turned to winter, a swastika showed up in the snow outside the campus building where she works.

The Coming Fight to Abolish DEI

There is a great clanging and clamoring around the offices in Washington, D.C. and Mar-a-Lago in Florida. Political operatives, policy wonks, and opposition figures are all planning for the arrival of the second Donald Trump administration.

I’ve spoken with many of the people in the president-elect’s orbit who are planning how to staff Cabinet departments and set a new tone on the administration’s first day. Much of our discussion has focused on the approach to DEI, or “diversity, equity, and inclusion.”

Adam Zivo: If the courts won’t let Ford clear the homeless out of the parks, Sec. 33 will

Poverty activists are condemning Doug Ford’s Ontario government for threatening to use the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms’ notwithstanding clause to clear homeless encampments. Invoking the clause, however, is an entirely justifiable response to a recent, precedent-setting Superior Court ruling that used shaky logic to grant encampments borderline-immunity from public accountability.

Rebottled Jew-Hate: The Boycott of Jewish Genius

Somewhat covertly, in November 2024, Ayelet Shaked, a former Israeli Minister of Justice, was shockingly denied permission to enter Australia for the purpose of participating in a conference discussing current Middle East events. The conference was hosted by the Australia Israel & Jewish Affairs Council (AIJAC), and intended to be a Jewish community event.

Colin Rubenstein, executive director of AIJAC, denounced the visa denial, made without a reason being disclosed at the time, by Australian Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke. In Rubenstein’s view, “The decision to refuse a visa to… Shaked on the grounds that she would vilify Australians and incite discord among the community is a disgraceful act of hostility towards a democratic ally.”
