Even before one measures the profundity of your assessment or goes so far as to wonder whether to agree with it, one might first remember that you might instead have said nothing at all.
This is the place from which one may better consider your motive. Really, what scholarly purpose moves you so?
Knowledge is power.
One needn't wonder what ignorance is, then.
Oops, I meant to spell her name correctly: Alysa
Respect.
I was not paying much attention to the "HQ" account here on BlueSky - an accidental condition, now reinforced.
This is slightly above pollution coming from the "official" White House account nowadays. No awards for that.
Do whatever it is your job is - and leave it to Alyssa to speak for herself!
Extra credit must be given for the cat!
Nice catch! 🏆
There are few evils more banal than Collins.
My charitable presumption: Mr. Rothkopf has not read Mr. Beshear's book - yet.
I submit that authentic testament of prominent, Christian politicians is needed if the spell of Christian Nationalism is to be broken. Those who avoid direct, genuine confrontation of CN politics do so at their peril.
Post from the bad place including an image of Dutch Defence Minister Gijs Tuinman, who says that "...like your iPhone, you can jailbreak an F-35. I won't say more about it."
That such a consideration might come to the surface of discussion is a remarkable signal of the uncertainty beneath.

We already know all we need to know.
@Patrickworld, these are very clever posts, and much appreciated.
Please, keep them coming! 🦴
An absolutely amazing concept and result!
So cool. Thank you.
Some things are so bad that they are rendered great instead.
This is like a sketch that would have been presented on SCTV back in the heyday. Brilliant!
Such verve! What a blessing it must be to bask in her presence. Thank you for sharing her with us.

Incredible!! The waste of the court and everyone else's time is undeniable. 🦨
Still, I have not read documents (both the order and the bonus transcript) this entertaining in a very long time. Amazing!
"COURT: OK. Have we exhausted level one? I just
want to know what two, three, and four are."
Imagine the US claimed Baja from Mexico in 2014 and has occupied it since.
US then launched general invasion in February 2022. Proportionate territorial gains.
Population: US / Russia = 320M / 145M.
By now there would be ~2,500,000 military casualties, of which about ~400,000 would be deaths.
Wow!
Isn't that special?
"Will there be a recording?"
I respectfully note that your response is unambiguous. Those who cannot be in Hartford on a Tuesday at 5pm will not benefit from your lecture.
I'm curious as to the certainty that there not be a recording. Why has this been determined this in advance, and by whom?
Can someone with sufficiently popular reach please initiate a sustained funding project for her? I would gladly chip in.
Pernicious pettiness. Our youngest and brightest are being denied dignity, mostly through subterfuge. "Hey, kid..."
Feeling disconnected from the lived reality of contemporary American life? Worry not, Yalies! Brooksie is coming to gently stroke your confirmation bias. He will use very many, mostly big words to affirm your valid membership in the Mutual Admiration Society. Redemptive banality will be yours!
Also pretty sure it was more than "once"
What a thoughtful community effort! Humanity manifest!
Distant supporter here, so I cannot volunteer.
Donations? Maybe a gofundme?
Michael and Yoshimi, thank you for your contributions of excellent excerpts.
Can you please say what work each one is quoting?

Thanks!
These artifacts of the era are haunting - and fascinating.
