This is a moral atrocity and it needs to be loudly condemned as such. There is a reason that democracies *don't* do publicly televised executions (and why many don't execute people at all): it inculcates and rewards bloodthirst, which corrupts the spirit and corrodes the foundation of the polity.

My hot take is that opinion writer" should only ever be an adjunct position and you should have to still have another job, no one has an opinion a week worth hearing, especially when they aren't doing anything that gives them a basis for that opinion, commenter does not need to be a full time career

There was debate about this in development circles like 20 yrs ago, bc you could get big projects approved/completed much more quickly in authoritarian regimes, and young fragile democracies are so inefficient Since then I think a clear consensus has emerged: the outcomes weren't worth the slavery

Thinking about my bigheaded son
A small dog who is 80% head and shoulders is standing on an ottoman in a living room. He is standing on his back feet with his front legs resting on the chest of a human woman standing before him. They are staring at each other, communing over when to have snacks.

My father in law passed away Tuesday night. The last thing he ever ate without pain was the pineapple cakes. The last thing he ever told me, in English that was very hard work, was that I was a daughter to him. The last thing he ever told Eric was to remind me there were biscuits in the cupboard.

The Democratic Party has let a consulting industry exploit elderly donors in its name, wreck its reputation and finances in the process, and walk away rich whether the party wins or loses. When a mirror is held up, the instinct is to break the glass rather than look. On why the press looks away:

Democrats most anti democratic tendency is how much they hate a contested primary, which is weird bc contested primaries seem to be good for parties and good for democrats in particular, when they manage to get their shit together and actually support the guy who won

Trump can’t just tell reporters he’s a big believer in white supremacist eugenics without raising a couple eyebrows—though god knows a few dozen pundits would jump to his defense in a heartbeat. “Racehorse theory” is his workaround.
