If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."

You are such a careful thinker about so many things. I would suggest extending that to this topic.

I believe that's supposed to be the Potomac, with the arc on the Arlington cemetery side. Which would also mean the Lincoln was rendered backwards.

Not gonna link the troll but Bari Weiss clearly represents β€œthought police” more than 100,000 Bluesky leftists scolding you for writing a defense of Weiss ever will, and ignoring that reality is clearly designed to curry the favor of thought police. You’re not a free thinker, you’re the boot licker.

I will vote for anyone who vows to make cops wear the funny little hats the Brits have to wear, and drive funny little cop cars. I think this would work, honestly.

It is hard to accept the "mistake" framing when NTT faculty and staff have been imploring TT faculty to more seriously organize with them for some time under this exact premise.

On this front, there is less daylight between Trump and the average person than a lot of people want to admit -- the primary metric here being "who I want to see on TV"

Cindy certainly didn't think so. I know invitational rhetoric has a weird hater sect in the field, but my perception has always been that those people are yelling at their own shadows.

A class on the rhetoric of civility taught by Cindy Griffin was a fairly radicalizing moment in my undergrad time. One thing I appreciate about this moment is that, at a general level, many seem to be rejecting the idea that whispered bigotries amount to civility at all.

Gee whiz, this isn't good! Luckily, introducing the exact same technology into the classroom will end in a completely different result.

Maybe everyone already knows this but the main reason they like Kirk is because the dismantling of his enemies through speech is a sublimation of the violence they would like to inflict on theirs, and the fact that his speech was also itself violent is not necessary, so it's easily ignored.

When someone says one thing to gain power and then a contradictory thing when exercising that power, the most useful lens for understanding it is power, not hypocrisy.

Bridge shutdown creates β€˜best dead end in PNW’ Life's a little different now and the ways of getting around more creative since a trail bridge became a lifeline between these Western Washington communities.

What does it take to get folks who have the option of driving to shift away from car trips? When driving takes longer than other modes. Until that calculation shifts, mode shift won’t.
