98.02/ Valuable thread about the gun industry and I learned from him an excellent term I will now incorporate into my social theory: Agnotology = "the cultural production of ignorance."
98.03/ Wow: "The science is abundantly clear: More guns do not stop crime. Guns kill more children each year than auto accidents. More children die by gunfire in a year than on-duty police officers and active military members." (Scientific American) scientificamerican.com/article/the-sc…
98.04/ Those looking for graduation gifts, and/or are interested in Mexican history, might I recommend this beautiful book that my mother @CypessSM contributed to (and part of whose life's work was dedicated to this topic). yalebooks.yale.edu/book/978030025…
98.05/ This was classy by the 'Canes. It was a hard fought series and this is a nice balance to the trash-talking during the games. Shake hands, congratulate, and move on.
98.06/ This is terrible news. D*pp executed the RVO in DARVO; abusers have another win and a high profile precedent for harassing and silencing their victims. The repercussions can be catastrophic if we don't push back hard.

232.02/ Shiva minyans during #Chanukah are surreal. That is all.
232.03/ #MotzeiShabbatMovieNight was actually on Nitel-nacht (after we learned Torah, like good little Litvaks). And what else? Yippe-kai-yay, Maccabee.

230.02/ The Assad regime collapsing over Shabbas #Vayetze seems especially appropriate. I had long compared Lavan to Assad, the urbane facade hiding real cruelty and depravity. I celebrate the toppling of a murderous regime and the liberation of Saydnaya prison.
230.03/ Mets Twitter is having a party right now. This is fun. #LGM

228.02/ Fundamentally, a plurality want a minority to do all the work but get no reward while they do very little work & get all the reward. The only system that will get close to that - liberal Democracy - gives too much to people the plurality hates, so they vote for fantasies.
