I can understand this view & why it persists, but every generation has experienced traumatizing events — war, famine, prejudice, economic fears. But important to remember overall quality of life has improved, the number of people living in extreme poverty has sharply fallen, etc. Every generation thinks life was better in the past, whether just when they were younger or a time before they were even born. I marvel at Ecclesiastes 7:10:

“Do not say: ‘How is it that former times were better than these?’ For it is not out of wisdom that you ask about this.”

I wanted to pull a quote from this to tweet, but every sentence, every paragraph, is powerful. Read the whole thing. .@RepMeijer: “There was no such courage from our President ... The one man who could have restored order, prevented the deaths of five Americans including a Capitol Police office, and avoided the desecration of our Capitol shrank from leadership when our country needed it most.”

76 years ago today, on June 16, 1944, South Carolina executed a 14-year-old child, George Stinney, Jr.

He was so little that they used a Bible as a booster seat in the electric chair.

In 2014, a court ruled that he had not received a fair trial and overturned his conviction. “The 14-year-old had not seen or spoken to his parents for wks, & they were too terrified of the white mob to show up @ the trial. Instead, strangers surrounded him. 1500 people swelled into the courtroom, too many to fit. They flowed out of every door.”

OF COURSE I wrote about @taylorswift13’s new activism. Fun fact: This piece started at more than 3000 words because I just had so much to say about her, the new album, and her politics. (If you want my analysis of each song on LOVER, just let me know!)
arcdigital.media/taylor-swift-g… I believe Swift has a right to champion causes she believes in... But it seems the more Swift leans into her new political identity, the more she recklessly simplifies complex issues and deliberately antagonizes those who disagree with her.

Am I watching a different Gillette ad than everyone who’s mad about it...? I don’t understand why people are angry about a message to be the best man you can be by stepping in to stop bullying, being supportive fathers, & calling out bad behavior instead of looking the other way. What in the ad does Piers think was an attack on masculinity? The only reference to masculinity was *toxic* masculinity. What does Piers think we should allow boys & men to do in order to let boys be boys & men be men? Gang up? Harass? Treat others poorly?
