"All of us would like to be good to others, and most of us would be relatively good in a good world. What is difficult is to be good in an evil world, where the egoism of others and the egoism built into the institutions of society attack us and threaten to annihilate us." Pedro Arrupe, S.J., 1973

It's funny that the republican media ecosystem had coordinated a whole Schmitt PR thing, with an Axios article and weird podcaster dudes and everything, all for it to end up a flaming pile of dogshit on live tv. You gotta wonder how much it cost their billionaire freak donors to do that big PR push

I think a lot about Biden/Garland keeping David Weiss on as US Attorney, because they didn't want to meddle with the Hunter probe. And then Garland elevating Weiss to special counsel so he could convict Hunter. And this having ZERO IMPACT on the GOP certainty that Biden was rigging the DOJ

Our species has generally decided that cars are much more cost-effective than horses, although there is still some debate about that. I'm not sure we universally agree about anything. That's why I'm glad we (mostly) rely on majority rule. Otherwise, we'd never get anything done.

Yes it could be argued that keeping up with world events is important but alternatively can I interest you in hugging an ancient mossy boulder that looks like a face and quietly listening while it tells you stories from centuries cloaked in mist.
A lovely mossy boulder with a face. I walked past this venerable stone gentleman on Dartmoor when I was beginning to write my first novel, Villager, and it whispered all 104,000 words of the book to me. So now I have to pay it all of my royalties. Unfortunately my ex-publisher stopped paying me royalties last year. Understandable, the boulder was not happy. But now I have a new publisher and the book has been republished. So remember if you purchase a copy you will be helping a boulder to eat, pay the rent on his riverside moss garden, and feed his boulder family.

Trump's remarks to the UN General Assembly this morning amount to a series of confessions to war crimes for which he could now easily be put on trial in The Hague. This makes clear why he wants to tear down the ICC. It's to protect his friends Vladimir Putin, Benjamin Netanyahu, and himself.
