From a science fiction perspective, it is kind of like Roger Corman buying up the rights for the amazing output of Odesa Film Studio and using the special effects to make B-movies.

Elon Musk (insert Bezos or many others) becomes Zefram Cochrane inventing the warp core (SpaceX) and Grok is conceptualized as 'the computer' in the series.

Reading your editorial today, I was also thinking about the role of Star Trek in all of this. So much of 'novelty' of the groups you are discussing seems to boil down to attempting to realize technological progress as imagined in the 60s and as if the show was predicting something real.

I am seeking a broad range of perspectives on a pretty open-ended way of thinking about monastic culture.

SOMEONE found something nice to say about Lindsey, which itself says a lot.
@itamarbengvir
Today, Israel has lost one of its greatest friends.

Senator Lindsey Graham stood with Israel not because it was easy, but because he believed it was right. His unwavering support, courage, and moral clarity earned him the admiration of millions of Israelis.

The State of Israel will always remember his friendship, his unwavering support, and his steadfast commitment to Israel’s security.

Heartfelt condolences to his family and to the American people.

May his memory be a blessing.

When we win, the first bill I’m filing is a comprehensive anti-corruption package: Overturn Citizens United Ban corporate PACs and super PACs Ban members of Congress from trading stocks Once we defeat the most corrupt politician in America, we can defeat this entire corrupt system.

As an architect, I think it is important to highlight who is doing this project - James McClery II. He is not representative of the majority of the discipline, and his understanding of beauty skews in a problematic way, see his lecture at the Heritage Foundation and hosted by Hillsdale College.

We’ve lived 15 years under Citizens United, watching billionaires and corporations shape democracy with their wallets. Reform once seemed impossible. But now, a group in Montana is asking a radical question: What if states simply stopped granting corporations the power to spend in politics?

Totally agree. Stafford's book is excellent, but for those in the fine arts, traditional crafts, or architecture, I recommend that everyone start with Caroline Walker Bynum's "Christian Materiality: An Essay on Religion in Late Medieval Europe."

Hi Josh, To be even more technical, don't you have to show the nominative and the genitive when you list a Latin noun, so that you know what declension is appropriate. ie domus / domi and equus/equi and not simply domus or equii?

I have to say: Chuck Schumer is a weak man and a fool. This was the one cudgel Dems had. Now it's up to the courts which we new from the beginning were at best going to slow some things down. There's 18 hours left to somehow bring additional pressure to bear. It will be really hard to do that.
