You’re not really woke unless you understand the difference between being “genderfae” and “genderfloret”.

The latest edition of the Newspeak Dictionary is even stupider than even Orwell could imagine.

In the hopes of encouraging a more civil, and illuminating, discourse, here is another episode of William F. Buckley, Jr.’s “Firing Line”.
Perhaps the answer is that it can for brief periods be less ungoverned, but the question of if New York City can be governed is an old one, and one discussed by William F. Buckley and then new Mayor Ed Koch.
Another “quick takes” on items where there is too little to say to make a complete article, but is still important enough to comment on.
The focus this time: Once a penal colony; still a penal colony
First, a little disturbing panopticon down under:
Carrying on…
When a digital panopticon isn’t enough, you go door to door interrogating people about potential protests against the state.
“A trio of Australian police officers visited a man claiming they are doing ‘welfare checks’ to ask residents if they plan on participating in the ongoing protests against COVID-19 mitigation efforts. The man in this video was asked if he has plans or if he knows anyone who has plans to protest and if he has participated in protests in the past.”

Environmental extremists often gravitate towards literal acts of terrorism. Their thugishness is well known, but increasingly is become almost acceptable to advocate and support, as the New Yorker seems to do with this little bit of normalization by podcast and a friendly chat with an eco-terrorist who wrote about how to literally blow up literal pipelines.
It’s called “intelligent sabotage”.
If you think this “green terrorism” is still fringe, remember that Biden nominated a supporter of such terrorism to run the Bureau of Land Management.

In the hopes of encouraging a more civil, and illuminating, discourse, here is another episode of William F. Buckley, Jr.’s “Firing Line”.
Even over half a century ago, back when public schools in the United States were world class and actually taught students, people were still asking if public schools were even necessary, as William F. Buckley, Jr. and Paul Goodman discussed.
…you might be a special little snowflake seeking attention. Oh, and also a “libragender.”
