“You think we’re getting a little too close to Meta?” [John Georges, co-owner of Georges Media Group, the state’s largest media organization and parent company of the state’s largest newspaper, The Times-Picayune | The New Orleans Advocate], asked. “I’m not afraid of the sun. You know — Icarus? I’ll get as close to the sun as I can.”

there are moral arguments against the death penalty in its ideal form but in real life you never need to get there. the prior question is "can the state be trusted to end the life only of the rightly convicted without torture?" and the answer is no

My book on historic rabbit warrens in England is published on 13th Nov by Liverpool Uni Press and I'm pleased to have received my advance copies. The perfect Xmas gift for any rabbit warren-obsessed nerd, of which there are no doubt many such people. #landscapearchaeology #rabbits #medievalsky

From, of all things, an old/archived *Cornell University* page on the topic, and uh BOY IS THIS A RICH TEXT:
archived 2014 Cornell University website page from the Office of the Dean of Students: 
"HomeGreek LifeAbout Our OfficeThe Power of 2%
The Power of 2%
From an article in the New York Times:

Since the founding of the American College Fraternity movement in 1776, fraternities have grown to symbolize leadership, independence, scholastic achievement and service to their various campuses and communities. Fraternity men represent a very small percentage, only 2% of the male population in the United States. However, that 2% is a very powerful group of individuals. Fraternity men have gone on to hold many of the top positions in our nation, from the business world to the political arena.

Approximately 80% of the top executives of Fortune 500 companies are fraternity men. 76% of current United States Senators and Congressmen are fraternity men. 100 of 158 cabinet members since 1900 have been fraternity men. 40 of 47 Supreme Court Justices since 1910 have been fraternity men All but two United States Presidents since 1825 have been fraternity men.

It is certainly no surprise that today's college and university students express a keen interest in the Greek system. The opportunities are endless and the benefits speak for themselves. Each year thousands of young men enter the working world with the competitive advantage of fraternity experience and alumni contacts."

Carney has a habit of outright lying to us. Mark Carney says privatizing Canada’s busiest airports will lower costs for consumers. Evidence shows the opposite www.thestar.com/gift-redeem?...
The self-sufficient airports, which effectively are annuities, aren’t in need of investment capital. It’s housing, critical minerals extraction and processing, and energy and transportation infrastructure that’s in need of capital.

Carney has tried to sell his idea as an affordability measure that would reduce airfares.

“The evidence shows travel costs go down over time,” Carney had said.

But the evidence shows the contrary. From Britain to Australia, competition authorities have found that after privatization, fees have risen for airlines, which pass them along to travelers. In some years, the privatized Heathrow tops the list as the world’s most expensive airport.

If reports are true that Irish players are being threatened that they'll never play for US owned clubs in the UK if they pull out of the Israel game, then that's a great argument for getting US money out of European football.

Just saw that the new East of Eden series in HBO is framing Cathy Ames in a sympathetic way & suggesting she suffered under society’s unfair standards for women and whew. Like no, she was a monster. She was symbolizing evil. I’m not sure how this could even be misinterpreted by anyone
