Another great take. I hadn’t considered that the secret room would’ve once belonged to Horace. Looking forward to your take on Sayid shooting teen Ben and really the whole 70s arc.

Well I’m sure ABC thought they secured “peace for our time.”

This is helping me make at least some sense of the Discourse since last Wednesday. I’m still not sure I totally buy the idea that these two versions were as separate as portrayed here. And trying to guard against wanting it to be so.

Other people’s kids aren’t real to them. Kirk was a peer.

Our pundit class is as lost as the society they purport to speak to and for.

The bodies of the last survivors are barely cold in the ground and Americans already gleefully shitcanning “Never Forget.”

I spent all last week in the National Death Penalty Archive, at SUNY Albany. Incredible collection, I could’ve spent another week there easily.

“Snubbing” is such first world framing. JFC.

Otherwise known as “convict leasing.” Except these detainees haven’t been convicted of anything by and large.

Which is why he doesn’t belong in government, where the expectation is to act and not just pray.

Good thread. The “Crossfire” model of journalism persists and continues to fail the truth test.

He has no idea and could care less.

A resurgence of “therapeutic” youth prisons would represent yet another evil perpetrated by this evil regime.

Historians of prisons know this: Jailers hate surprise inspections and prefer to put on dog and pony show for compliant politicians. Don’t let them do it.

Now apply the logic of this thread to public and higher education.

Time to replace the term “originalist” with the more accurate “neo-Redeemer” to describe this Court.

I suspect three Marines could wipe out a whole platoon of these glorified rent-a-cops.

Exactly. The mad king says we bomb and “Congress” is nowhere.
