I mean this all presupposes that the rule of law in these situations obtains, which appears not to be true when destroying Venezuelan boats (and civilians), so I don't think it's as cut and dried as you're making it out to be

I recognize both the loss you mention at finishing a work and the capacity to let it become a part of you forever, a spiritual practice of revisiting a space that nonetheless changes with you, but shapes you as you inhabit it again and again

A weird aside this reminds me of: my son has, for years now, fallen asleep to the same chapter of the same audiobook (Ch. 17 "Death of an Alien" from Jeanne Birdsall's The Penderwicks At Last). It feels like such an idiosyncratic and (to me) charming way to inhabit a piece of art, make a home of it

The paradoxical limits of Murc's law - Lawyers, Guns & Money Murc’s law is named after the insight of the eponymous LGM commenter that, in American politics, only Democrats are assumed to have agency. Republicans are like rocks rolling down hill or perhaps shar...

Apropos right now

(Tldr: Republicans get blamed in government shutdowns because it's clearly what they're trying to accomplish)

Especially surprising because automation and mechanization *have* displaced a lot of farm work, meaning it's "hard" in a very specific sense, while the (female-dominated) helping professions seem among the hardest to automate--not just laborious but dynamic, responsive, emotionally complex

I genuinely wonder if he could name 90 jobs, though.

Like I think the kind of broad claim he's making benefits from abstraction and crumples when it interacts with a detailed description of the real world, because whenever you start looking at the real world, words like "hard" get weird fast

Can confirm--my dad's family is long Island Irish Catholic, two sisters and a brother both married Italians and my aunt's best friends were the Greek daughters across the street. They all sound like Long Island but it's different.

I think "hardness" and "realness" are pretty underdefined here

Crab fishing is harder but not realer? Surgery is realer and harder?

Does "physical comfort" make a job less "real"? Like being a chaplain in a children's hospital seems "hard" and "real" but you can have air conditioning...

Guy who's only experience with narrative is half listening to other people's summaries of the Bible, consuming literally any other narrative: "I'm getting some real Bible vibes from this"

It's national coming out day and as a middle-aged cis straight white dude, and die hard ally, I want to say.. If today's not your day I'm in your corner. Maybe tomorrow will be. Maybe you need to figure out your situation. I have your back now and when it's your time to come out I'll have your back.
