One job the PRes could take on, and which its nationwide network would be helpful for, is returning to the system from the 80s for keeping track of Supp Reserve members locally. IIRC at that point there were check-in appointments every six months, for which members were paid $300 or something.

I mean, the present structure can only really be justified if it's the skeleton basis for a 1939-style mobilization. If that's the model, to be totally fair, the current model makes at least some sense. If we're not on some level preparing for that, then by all means blow it up and start fresh.

Social media amplifies our worst tendencies: bloodlust, baseless speculation, the hunger for vengeance. We were not made to see people repeatedly murdered on camera. We were not meant to read every person's unfiltered opinions. It is corrosive to the soul.

this is the greatest tech development in years and i'm not even joking

did you know gmail now has a subscriptions page where it lists all your subscriptions and you can unsubscribe from them????

The problem here is that it’s pretty clear that having punched Prince Andrew, who is such a repulsive person on so many levels, in the face is very unlikely to bring you into disrepute in the eyes of right-thinking members of society, so I’m not sure where this legal claim is likely to end up

tweet from decadentquill that reads, "for people addicted to self-help books, I prescribe that you read one poem every day and recite it until you have it memorized. you need people need an infusion of beauty, not more neurosis."

No one wants to hear this but you will find more wisdom in an old fairy-tale, a monologue from Shakespeare, a chapter of Jane Austen, than in all the self-help books in Barnes & Noble. You don't need more lifemaxxing, you need myth, poetry, beauty.

White House policy announcements increasingly sound like a joint project between the Heritage Foundation and the editorial board of Adbusters magazine

Men, you won’t find the answers to life’s questions in grindset manuals and self-help books, you’ll find them in myth, history, philosophy and literature, but some of you aren’t ready to have that conversation.

Outstanding.

Ontario is in the middle of its worst measles outbreak in years and its health ministry is directing questions about vaccination rates to its freedom-of-information system.

There is about to be a staggering amount of smuggling into the United States. In addition to searching for fentanyl, the 25,000 customs officers at America's land crossings, airports, and seaports will also have to watch for Nintendo consoles, Android phones, and jars of cloves.
