Because I'm living in the Netherlands and immersed in Dutch, I keep having these little epiphanies about the origin and meanings of family names or English words. The first one, about 5 years ago, was "folk and volk are the same word." Seems obvious, right?

A complex landscape of buttes, hills, hummocks, and sand dunes, in tones of gold and teal. In the middle, a small, beetle-blue feature. Around it, faint parallel tracks.

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up. I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Again, this take is why Trump is president today. 🤷🏿‍♂️ 1. The year in which cops killed the most people? During Biden years. 2. Mass incarceration (ramped up under Reagan using Biden policies) was finally turning around and decreasing under Bush, Obama, and Trump. Under Biden, it increased again.

If you see this, repost with your model of positive masculinity.

Photo of the man who took the iconic photo of workers eating lunch on a steel beam. He is wearing suit pants, a tie, button down shirt, and suspenders, standing with his legs around a girder, impossibly high above the New York City skyline.

He's holding a large old fashioned model of camera, and one of his black and white dress shoes is prominent.

This sounds an awful lot like a gish gallop. I don't know what point Ben Shapiro is making here. It sure sounds like he's saying racist whites got irrationally mad about a black President telling them what to do and abandoned liberal democracy. Which is exactly what happened.
