Of course it helps, also, that we now live in a Spanish-speaking country where the expectation is for everyone to have two surnames (although not usually hyphenated)

Unlike the article's subjects, my husband and I are a gay married couple and we hyphenated, but in a slight twist, we each kept our original surname first and then hyphenated the other's on to the end

Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette probably had really good security and bodyguards, right up until they didn’t.

I have been given the shiny and very real War Stopper Award by
USA Pickleball because I have stopped so many dozens of wars and whatnot. I am honored that my war stopping has been noticed by the foremost pickleball organization in the world.

One issue is the constitution being written by educated men, imagined that future citizens and leaders would be as educated as them or more, and that therefore their future was always going to be one that respected unwritten but agreed upon centuries of English legal tradition

Miller wants power and he wants to hurt people. He's got the mentality of a serial killer, but sublimated into politics. There were plenty of guys like that running the original German Nazis.

Politicians love to talk about "kids safety" until you ask them to do something that would actually keep kids safe like fund housing, healthcare, education, outdoor spaces, arts programs, etc.

That's because most of them use "safety" as a euphemism for surveillance, control and domination.

I feel like one of the most underrated explanations for what's happening right now in global politics is that almost everyone has lost their minds.

MAGA mantra

Versions of the same:
For my friends, everything; for my enemies, the law.

One group the law protects but does not bind; and another group the law binds but does not protect.

And that foundation of fascism everywhere: the strong do what they will, while the weak suffer what they must.

It’s not just rampant anti-intellectualism in politics it’s also that the only state functions both sides uniformly get behind are surveillance and imprisonment the other parts of state capacity are viewed as burdens to be resolved not actual requirements of running a country

Society says that the worst thing possible for a boy/man to do is to do something "like a girl".

Society codes as feminine things like compassion, caring, empathy, and joy.

And then society wonders why men are not functioning well.

It's easier to get away with if it's not being hidden.

No matter how long I live after we get through this dark chapter, I will never get over the immorality, the amorality, the corruption, the criminality and the cruelty in service to one of the worst humans to ever walk the earth.
