Given that the CDC risk mitigation guidelines for children involved isolating them in a "sick room" by themselves for 10 days...

I hope it was more than 1 in 4 parents that lied about following this cruel and inhumane guideline
The CDC told parents to lock their sick children in a room for 10 days... even if they were feeling better

That was the *official* recommendation for months

web.archive.org/web/2020071111… ImageImage
It's true, every time you didn't follow a CDC guideline, someone died and absolutely no one who follow CDC guidelines died

The CDC guidelines had a 100% success rate and the act of cuddling your sick child literally killed someone

I will absolutely mock anyone who implies that the cruelty of the CDC guidelines was justified b/c it saved lives because

1) that's not true

2) you can use that logic to justify anything, including torture

Not 3 years ago, the AMA said that gender surgeries for minors was "medically necessary care" and demanded that states permit it

Now they say "whoopsie". We are ruled by "whoopsie" institutions.
Here is the link. The AMA specifically said that "gender-affirming surgeries" must be allowed or there would be suicides

Here is the text, in case they decide to memory-hole this particular incident of politically driven medical nonsense Image

Oh look, another high-profile anti-homeschooling article

There is a 100% chance that this article will cite the Coalition for Responsible Home Education (CRHE), which is an organization started by angry atheist ex-homeschoolers
I found out about CRHE b/c I went to college with one of the founders. The org basically emails journalists and says "you should write an article about how bad home schooling is, we will help you write it".

Then the "journalists" write the article that the CRHE requested.
It is so reliable, it's astonishing. Every single freaking time. Every single freaking article. Their "expert" is ALWAYS someone from the CRHE.

Here is Roger Ebert's first paragraph of his review for "The Mummy" and it is why he was the greatest film critic to ever live Image
Ebert was a gem and I will never hear a word against him. He loved movies. He loved stupid movies and brilliant movies. He loved trash and genius. He loved watching directors pour their heart out onto the screen, even if they failed.
"Ebert was a woke lib" I don't give a shit

Ebert is the guy who pointed me to @MarkSteynOnline b/c he saw that Steyn was a good movie critic. Ebert recognized that in Steyn b/c Ebert wasn't a hack. He was a hard-core liberal but he knew movies and he respected them.

Ta-Nehisi Coates and I agree that there is a line. When people cross the line, conversation between the two sides is no longer possible. That line for both of us is the dehumanization of others.

For me, that means celebrating their death, believing that the world is a better place without them

For Coates, that means "hurling epitaphs" at people

youtu.be/UaeoDlLNnok?si…
This is *extremely* instructive

My hard line is you have to believe that the world is better if I am alive

Coates' hard line is that you have to use the proper pronouns. Coates' hard line is "my team has to win or you are beyond saving"
In the Ezra Klein interview, Coates plainly says that the vast majority of the right is on "the other side of the line"

I say it is only those who celebrate murder (which all my favorite liberals tell me that is a tiny fraction of the left)

This is good to know

OK @CatoInstitute , we need to have a talk

I'm looking into the data source for this chart, which was used by @Time magazine.

Time links to this Cato article on politically motivated violence

cato.org/blog/political…
I read through it, scan down to a table where I'd like to investigate the source. I click "Get the data" and I get... the same table, but in Excel format

Give me a break. That's just sloppy.

This account looks like it's run by an unstable schizophrenic but that's just because I'm constantly trying to talk both about what *should* happen and also what *is* happening

Both those things are important but they are very different
There are tons of things that should happen but that won't happen because we've spent years dissolving the preconditions that make the "should" possible
How do we get the "should" back? I don't know.

But I've watched a lot of people over the last 15 years try to get the "should" back and their main strategy is "give something to my opponent to show I'm operating in good faith and then we can barter"
