The Best Of The Dish Today

by Dish Staff

Andrew couldn’t do the BOTDT this evening because he’s giving a speech on “The Future Of The Media” at Claremont McKenna College. But there is plenty of Andrew elsewhere on the Dish today; he wondered whether new PrEP drugs will finally bridge the deep divides between HIV-positive and -negative men; he compared the British and American systems of war authorization; he posed questions over sexual fluidity; and his jaw dropped a little over Kevin D. Williamson’s draconian views on abortion, with reader input here. Breaking ebola news here. And don’t miss this kickass video of breakdancing Orthodox Jews.

Many of today’s posts were updated with your emails – read them all here.  And you can always leave your unfiltered comments at our Facebook page and @sullydish. Below, a few readers respond to our latest window contest, whose photo came from the Dish’s own Chas Danner, taken on his honeymoon. The first reader:

You are much smarter and better educated than I am, but no post makes me feel more intellectually vacant than The View From Your Window Contest.

Another fan:

I’ve been following your weekly contest for about a year.  Your readers are incredible.  If the CIA would hire some of these people, we’d find these ISIS assholes in a few hours. OR, maybe some of these people do work for the CIA and are spending their time on this contest instead of finding ISIS.

If you participate in the weekly contest and haven’t yet subscribed to the Dish, you can do so here. For years, the contest has been the most time-intensive post we put out each week, often taking up to five hours for Dish editor Chris, and now his contest successor Chas, to read through, compile, edit, and illustrate the hundreds of entries sent each week. So if you value all the hard work they do, consider subscribing for as little as $1.99 a month, or less than 50 cents a contest. And if you love the contest enough to spread the word to others, gift subscriptions are available here.

A big thanks to the 17 readers who subscribed today. Your daily dose of Dish resumes in the morning.
