I unsubscribed from Graydon Carter’s “Air Mail” this morning. It was the first issue. I was hoping it would be about travel, as its name indicates. Instead, it contained a nasty, anti-Trump cartoon. Why does everything have to be about politics? Don’t even bother.

The issue of sexual consent is complicated in BDSM relationships, where dominance, power, and the feigning of forced activity are part of the thrill. Asked if it’s fair to say that he was emotionally abusive to his accusers, Hammer replies, “One million percent.”
