Thank you for a pedantic, incomplete history lesson. By the md-19th Century, with the industrial revolution and urbanity on the march, the rise of the constabulary was inevitable in every society. Provide examples of modern societies now operating without organized law enforcement or no fucks given.

@summerbrennan.bsky.social I just read "A Blessing" & was struck immediately by the distinct resemblance between your father, you & your mom & given I wear my dad's old Army dog tags since he passed in '20 from Alzheimers, your words truly choked me up. May your father's memory be a blessing indeed.

Oh wow! @summerbrennan.bsky.social "It is that “moment of trembling recognition, when desire disrupts duty, an impulse that stems not from logic, but from something elemental, something irrational. It might be about sex or love, but it might also be about art, or beauty...” 💗

This afternoon, Iowa HHS reported first confirmed measles case in the state since 2019. Patient is "unvaccinated adult"; no details on whether this person traveled recently. "Currently 84% of 2-year-olds in Iowa are vaccinated, which is below the 95% threshold required to prevent outbreaks."

Environmentalism is supposed to be pain and sacrifice. Because Musk offers an environmental vision that is fun, futuristic and coded with all sorts of "bro" aspects, he is deeply suspicious and must be stopped.
