I don’t understand why the behavior toward other dogs is a proxy for whether she’d be a safe adoptee. It seems to me we’ve fostered and rehabilitated more challenging candidates. Very sad to hear this is happening, and appreciate what you’ve done to help.

“The attack on citizenship itself is both the very essence of…Trump[ism] and its most dangerous feature… [Its] ultimate tendency…is to transform citizenship from an inviolable right into a privilege granted or withdrawn at the sovereign’s discretion”—“to determine who even belongs to the people.”

The Democratic Party has abolished the death penalty de facto or de jure in every state where it has the power to do so. Zero federal executions have happened under Democratic administrations since it was reinstated in 1976. A Dem median vote on the Supreme Court would rule it unconstitutional

I just think that the whole analogy is somewhat poorly conceived! Like, even if you reject the girl’s account, this episode has “literally” (using the word advisedly) nothing to do with TKAM except for sex and contested allegations of rape. I really don’t understand what Fleischman was thinking.

I guess I missed the part where Tom Robinson texted “FREE PUSSY” to like 50 other frat bros? But yes, there were a couple of black guys among the throng, so other than that, “literally” the same thing. My goodness.

And it’s not great that the implied moral of the story is that our evolutionary design excludes the potential for human integrity. Seems corrosive! (Which would be fine if it were true.)

“Our minds are engineered primarily to advance our genetic interests, and only when accuracy serves those interests do we tend to seek accuracy.” Do you think that, say, Nietzsche’s mind was designed primarily to advance his genetic interests? If so, how well did his brain perform on that measure?

Working up Chopin’s Fantasie Impromptu. It may take awhile! But I’ve got the polyrhythm worked out and flowing pretty nicely at a moderate tempo. Shout out to Julian Fontana for ignoring Chopin’s dying wish to destroy the manuscript.

The Cyrus the Great-ification of the GOP. Christians excused Trump on the grounds that God sometimes makes us of bad pagans in mysterious ways. Now Dreher and Yang make that excuse for R's generally. GOP-style Christianity is so through-and-through unchristian that makes it less a threat to faith?
Dreher: "And THIS is why if I were in Texas, I would vote Paxton, despite it all."

Retweeting Wesley Yang: "Talarico is a politician, yes, but he is above all a preacher of a heretical creed that seeks to cannibalize Christianity from within and deploy divine authority on behalf of a successor catechism that seeks to equalize outcomes by race and brainwash confused children into being chemically castrated and dismembered as its chief sacrament. His politics are all in the service of this successor theology."

This is one reason why he is so resentful. He thinks he’s the only one who is open about everything being a rip-off - & yet HE gets called corrupt! Normally we don’t think of mercantilism as paranoid-style politics but the ‘flouride is elites trying to poison you BUY GOLD’ impulse is longstanding.
