This is snake-handling 101. The snake-handlers believe snakes can be deadly. But they also need you to be in awe of their faithful handling, to confer authority upon them as the special, spiritually gifted guarantors of Snake Safety/Governance. Fear, fascination, and protection reinforce each other.

There are so many Summers stories beyond Epstein, Harvard community is just too dysfunctional and too afraid of its own involvement to have them come out. Could almost be a yearly Best American Larry Summers Stories edited volume.

"Joyful rigor" captures so much of what tech's approach to language, writing, interaction, and, nauseatingly, imminent "erotica" flees: intimacy, patience, care, how joy and suffering are each other's consorts not enemies.

Actually I swore an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States with my hand on @bpl.boston.gov’s 1782 edition Aitken Bible—also known as the Bible of the Revolution.
