I posted this last week without comment, but I'm going to comment now. The people who established the system of museums in the West had a very specific reason for doing so: they thought that having an appreciation for the wonders of the world was absolutely necessary for being a good citizen.

A leader speaks truth to power, & Sen. Rev. Warnock consistently demonstrates how. As does his colleague, Sen. Ossoff. We need real leaders, not go-along-to-get-along corporatists in the Democratic party.

This is a great book on Greek nationalism. There is an interesting point about how Ottoman church policies of subordinating the Arab Melkite Church to Istanbul would feed into Greek Christian nationalism. The book makes a strong case about the anti Muslim and Jewish roots of Greek nationalism.

Michael Tracey published what he said was the ID of the "Jane Doe" in the Cornell case. Then he took it down, claiming he just wanted to make a point and didn't want to see harm to the person he named. What he hasn't admitted is that he mistook info on a sketchy site for official NY court records.
An archived copy of Michael Tracey's original Substack post includes a screenshot from "eCourt Records" and the commentary: "It's [name redacted]. Don't blame me -- the New York Court System just posted it. Seemingly inadvertently. Oh well."Screenshot of Michael Tracey's post on Substack titled "Note on Jane Doe." It reads: "After identifying Jane Doe earlier tonight, I have now removed the information I published. Why? Because the principle has been served: to underscore that permanently anonymizing litigants who make sensational, spectacular, reputation-destroying claims about others — so long as they can self-declare some form of victimization — cannot be countenanced.

It’s destructive, and an egregious abuse of the legal system by huckster plaintiff’s lawyers. This practice has to end. Lawyers who seek to monetize this sleazy tactic should have to think A LOT HARDER about the claims they’re willing to throw out into the public domain, using impressionable clients who may not even know what they’re getting themselves into.

So why have I now removed her information?

Because I don’t believe she’s the main “villain” here. I primarily blame the bottom-feeding, media-manipulating, sleazebag lawyers who’ve made a whole cash-grab industry out of this racket.

Thomas Giuffra in particular has a lot to answer for. He’s the central reason for the current debacle.

Given the intense nationwide and global interest in this case, I don’t want to bring any further negative attention to this woman. I don’t believe she ought to be punished or subjected to any retribution or humiliation. I believe a RATIONAL solution is necessary here. Not more character assassination — of her, the seven young men, or anyone else. Truly, that is my genuine view."

Not beating the nazi allegations.
A social media screenshot of a post by Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) featuring a graphic titled "UNITED STATES SPACE FORCE SERVICE DRESS UNIFORM — NEXT GENERATION —" alongside the official Space Force delta logo.
​The image showcases a full uniform concept worn by a male model against a dark gray background:
​Uniform Views: Full front and back views depict a dark slate gray tunic and matching trousers tucked into knee-high, polished black leather riding boots. The jacket features a high Mandarin-style collar, black epaulets, and a black belt with a rectangular silver buckle.
​Design Inspiration: A text block notes the design is "inspired by the discipline and functionality of the Starship Trooper uniform, modernized for the Guardians of the space domain."
​Color Palette: Swatches listed include Space Gray, Midnight Black, Silver Gray, and Satin Black.
​Detailed Insets: Close-up panels highlight the collar insignia, shoulder piping detail, sleeve patch with the Space Force delta, belt buckle, a peaked "Service Dress Cap," and rank insignia examples ranging from O-1 to O-7.
