A sentimental love for the practice of animal farming is just another form of primitivism. Once we can grow meat in a factory, no reason to farm. If you want to retvrn to tradition, just go hunting.

Give it to Hawley, he’s been consistent in his position that terrorists should determine who should be President.

To say that today’s loss of American lives in Kabul is sickening does not begin to do justice to what has happened. It is enraging. And Joe Biden is responsible. It is now clear beyond all doubt that he has neither the capacity nor the will to lead. He must resign

I think journalists have generally done a good job of detailing the extent to which the "alternative" approaches from Trump, McCarthy, etc. don't make any sense.
But there is a conclusion to draw from this for the conviction that there must have been a better way.

Or maybe the New York Times is just a better, more broad-minded, and more comprehensive media organization than the petty caricatures of it suggest? https://t.co/RMLBFIAqDf

RIP to the reporter who penned this article. I assume if anyone in mainstream media in the US acknowledges European or Australian approaches to child masking, a door opens up in the floor and they're transported to a remote town in Siberia. https://t.co/aGFW00NGWf

love how San Jose is flipping the traditional "value capture" script on its head, and requiring more TDM policies for developments that provide *more* parking, to offset the additional car trips that extra parking will generate

I will never stop laughing if it turns out the "farmers markets are fash" meme was created by a husband who just doesn't like being dragged to one every Saturday morning
Michael Hobbes @RottenInDenmark
"The far right’s love of farmers markets plays into a larger fascist talking point that idealizes pastoral life and demonizes ‘degenerate’ urban living."

Institutional leaders need to be more wary of adopting diversity goals whose proponents explicitly disavow any target where you get to say you succeeded.

Embracing the permanent revolution of institutional transformation mostly just ends up making places dysfunctional.
