Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

RFK believes that he is one of the genetic elect and that it is a violation of the natural order to either impose on the genetic elect with public health OR prevent nature from taking its course with those who are predestined to biological damnation.

Twenty Lessons, read by John Lithgow Key selections from On Tyranny, for viewing and sharing

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work.

The square Valentine card image from the band Ghost features a blue heart with a skewed charcoal textured pentagram on the blue background accented by two bright gold points of light at the top of the heart and a muted partial point of light on the bottom right. There’s a scraggly bare wood tree branch on the middle side left edge projecting into the heart. At the center of the heart is on open wooden coffin-the top lid is on the right side and the open coffin is on the left side where the 1969 versions of Papa Nihil & Sister Imperator (from the β€œRite Here, Right Now” cartoon film) stand in an embrace. Above the heart is written β€œYou’re the guy I wanna do
& you know that it takes two” (song lyrics). On the bottom left corner are the words β€œInspired by β€˜Kiss the Go-Goat.’ β€œ The GHOST band logo is in the bottom right corner. The entire heart image and any wording are on a gradient background of shades of purple moving from the left edge to right, light purple on the left side and dark (almost black) purple on the right edge of the image. The purple background is textured with black and we can infer that it’s possibly the same type of image that’s shown in the blue heart background. This isn’t clear (there are roughly textured, linear black marks woven into the purple).
