Remembering this nugget from @davidfrum.bsky.social’s March 2017 cover story:
“The benefit of controlling a modern state is less the power to persecute the innocent, more the power to protect the guilty.”

“American politics has an ingrained philistinism and anti-intellectualism that has been the cause of infinite mischief.”
—Irving Kristol (born OTD in 1920)

"When conspiracy theories and nonsense cures are widely accepted, the evidence-based concepts of guilt and criminality vanish quickly too."

“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States…. [It is] nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that ‘my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.’”
Happy birthday to Andrew Johnson, the second-worst president of the United States!
