Like Satchie below, I realize that I was confused about something awhile back. I try to make my amends--and introduce a new review of an excellent book here: luckorcunning.blogspot.com/2025/10/my-l...

Will Kimmel be another Shostakovich, revising his approach in response to "just criticism"?

(I'll say no, but I've been wrong before.)

FWIW, I'm currently working on a review of Sara Lagi's book on Kelsen, which, I think weirdly, never mentions (let alone trolls) Hart.

A Shared "Solution" to a Problem Basic to Both Epistemology and Political Theory

Maybe evidence that Donald Trump entered into a "Queen for a Day" proffer agreement with Barry Krischer & Alex Acosta in Florida’s investigation of Jeffrey Epstein?

Mike Johnson & Nancy Mace have publicly stated that Trump told them he was an FBI informant and helped the FBI β€œtake Epstein down.”

New Framed Ophelia vids are available. Here's one: youtu.be/LW0WJLD6dbQ And there are links to a bunch more.

Also, if you'd care to see us in the West Village in October, let me know and I'll pass along the deets!

Well, to be fair, Trump asked Putin to tell him to do this, just like the "There never would have been a war if Trump had been President" and "He should get the Nobel Peace Prize." Putin is happy to pretend to suck up to Trump--as long as he continues to pull the real strings.

"Hey, if I found out somebody had been sneaking into my fitness club for years without paying, I'd want him arrested!"

Should non-citizens be counted in the US Census? And should the determination of THAT matter be determined by vote?

β€ͺWhat MAGA supporters hate about the new South Park season is that they can't say the show is "woke." For 30 years, nothing has been more anti-woke than South Park. It doesn't give a shit if something shown is politically incorrect. So complaints about it come off as snowflakey. Trumpians hate that

Not sure why all his mucking around in a half-dozen other ongoing conflicts around the world isn't also inconsistent with his isolationist promises.

Arendt's Strange Take on Truths, Opinions and Facts

As everybody is now writing (or making films about!) Hannah Arendt these days, I thought I'd get in on the fun.

I can think of some "possible justifications" for that differentiation. I'm not sure how good they are, but they aren't ridiculous.

How long will Fox News and other MAGA outlets continue to talk (and fantasize) about Sydney Sweeney? I'm going to say 3 more months is reasonable...and then, of course, resuscitate her for anti-woke midterm ads.

Trump says undocumented immigrants do farm work "naturally" because "they don't get a bad back."

Mississippi's Declaration of Secession similarly said slavery must be protected because "by an impervious law of nature, none but the black race can bear exposure to the tropical sun."
