But my favorite Mahler symphony is generally the one I've most recently listened to...

The original idea was simply that Germans were reading a translation into modern German, and not a text that was at that point 200+ years old and thus somewhat antiquated when read in the original.

Given the economic sentiment data, the *only* way the Democrats don’t win in a blue wave in November is if the GOP or leftists make the election about narratives unpopular with swing voters. We need to frame issues that highlight pragmatism over ideological rigidity and revolution.

Two things can be true at once. The "no Sharia Law" is mainly another episode of Christian nationalism and white supremacy. But by no means can it be compared to race riots and Native expulsion. If it's the common cold, then they are cancer. Saying they're the same is astonishing self-absorbtion.

The Left and the Right at bottom are the same The only differences arise from their different definitions of the People and the Enemy The Left uses a definition phrased in terms of economics and wealth. The Right uses a definition phrased in terms of race/nation/ethnicity. In all else they're twins

What we are learning is not that the US military is weak or that Iran is a superpower or that the PLA-N wished a global supply chain into being. What we're learning is that no amount of military excellence can rescue strategic incompetence. Stop voting for orange idiots.

The uncomfortable truth is that all economic systems involve an elite holding power, limiting information, and making decisions that impact on everyone else, with little or no curb on their own power. Socialism merely means a different group of white people will be that elite.

This leaves out a fifth, even more basic assumption: that the civilian and military leadership had at least basic competency and would not be more concerned about making big booms than achieving actual results.

Two things can be true at once: You can recognize that a person actively worked to make our world a worse place. You can recognize that nothing justifies violence against that person, and nothing good can result from their death.

I was brought up to think that mass killing was bad, no matter who does it or who it's done to or what technical term is used to describe it. The fact that it was done to Jews in the past does not set up any special obligation on my part or make it more bad.

🧵One thing about the Talmud that exasperates some students is the effort the sages spend to figure out which rabbi believes which thing. Does Rabbi A agree with Rabbi X or Rabbi Y, and about what issues do rabbis X and Y even disagree? Does Rabbi B agree that that's what they disagree about?
