We'd be better off choosing future leaders from Oberlin's classics and art departments than the trade-school that is Kennedy. Its an MBA but for gov't. Group think run amok doesn't lead to new outcomes.

They better put a 10 foot fence and 24/7 guard on that thing.

Since when does a county have an 'intelligence division'? It's laughably false.

Library of Congress is the only way (yes I know this is a British poll - tbh I don't know what they use). @librarything.com

Both of those statements are false. The Army has over 4500 tanks. There are less than 300 generals for an army of 500k. There are almost 500 ships in the Navy and also, less than 300 admirals for a force of over 300k.

I mostly use facebook to look at cool used stuff on the market, but its time to go back to the old way of just driving and looking at it.

This is a test post to see how many porn bots follow me by using the f word.

Anecdotal, but: less men reading and way more women authors on the shelves at the book store.

The entire canon of western "rule of law" is grounded on a pillar of private property rights. If parliament allows this, then every marxist remaining should swoop in for the kill. Let the proletariat rise up with no middle-class of property owners to stand in the way.

Question for #writer #writing authors out here: anyone use a Remarkable tablet for writing? I'm thinking of getting one but would like to here pros and cons? A picture of Winter to draw you in...

@chanda.bsky.social is so right. The answer to nearly everything that seems illogical or irrational or un-democratic about America is always racism. Always.

We need courts that recognize that some minor, correct legal point shouldn't "win" a case of such magnitude. Like, who gives a shit if you find the semantic loophole. (Talking future lawsuit that WILL happen). The Alitos of the world will kill us all. @jamellebouie.net

And never read Gibbon! If you want a history from the 18th century always read Hume!

Golden age of philosophy though... 19th century wasn't all bad! Plus, bonus- Lord Byron!

I see now this one is for reading - at first glance I thought it was for writing! Still looks cool though.
