FWIW: theologically speaking, the NAE (which represents evangelicals w/different capital punishment views) coming out against this is a bigger deal than the USCCB (a tradition that explicitly condemns the death penalty, full stop). The fact that they’re using the same terms is quite a thing.

Welp, lessons learned about Madison's Bus Rapid Transit: • There are two Route A lines, A1 & A2; • They are not very clearly distinguished from each other; • If you get on the wrong one you basically lose an hour out of your day. These thoughts brought to you by the Sun Prairie Park and Ride.

These weirdos never move on to the next logical step of their beliefs, which if they were true would mean their bot friend is being enslaved.

There's no religious path that's proof against the pull towards seeking and exercising power over others. There have been massacres and wars perpetrated by Buddhist fundamentalists, for Pete's sake!

To say a little more about 2, Ronnie's victims were willing participants in his schemes, even when they *knew* something was fishy. He sold them a place in a story, and even though it was ultimately to the detriment of their bank accounts and dignity, the (false) sense of meaning/purpose won out.

To say a little more about 1, the conman is entirely in the moment, and untethered from shame, guilt, morals, and ethics. The only "truth" is what is effective in the moment of perpetuating the con. The very concept of "theory of mind" is irrelevant because they are fundamentally malleable.

Shoot, I couldn't say! New Yorker used to be more generous with their archives. 😣 I'll see if I can find another version of the piece. In the meantime, the two big takeaways for me were: 1. The conman brain is abnormal, and there is no fixed reality for them. 2. The marks are eager for the con.

This ICE agent’s entire Instagram feed, “shooter.914,” is guns, watches, energy drinks, and alcohol.

John LeCarré's New Yorker essay about his con artist father is incredibly useful in understanding the mentality of both the con artist & their marks. Very helpful in easing my bafflement regarding how eager so many were to believe Trump's obvious bullshit, as well as Trump's reality-warping powers.

Public executions do not serve as a deterrent. *Points back to history* *Also points to forensic psychology. Repeat offenders tend not to pay attention to 'deterrents' that frighten regular folks*

I've recently noticed that some still share Spotify links on here–which, for whatever reason, don't even work for me (or I'd maybe quickly generate a YouTube Music clone of whatever playlist & share it via a comment.) But putting aside the lack of functionality: please stop using #Spotify, already!

The Maytag Guy used to be a point of pride until some dipshit with an MBA showed up and pointed out how much more money they could make if they skimped on parts and forced people to buy new every few years.
