Also, right on the beach, just like the Obama's Martha's Vineyard estate. They don't fear being washed away by a runaway rising ocean.; २५/११/२१, २:४८ PM

Lewis म्हणाले...: What's heroism - Raffles or you?

Lewis म्हणाले...: Who else could found a city? I remember, in Gibbon, how Constantine determined his new city, his new Rome. Men are founders of cities or great heroic acts or silly little poems. What are men - violent, obdurate, absurd - wanting to make something - the hammer on the anvil, the steal. Creation at it's most crude level. Eh, that's why you love us?; २५/११/२१, ३:४९ PM
Lewis म्हणाले...: The very patina of life is filled with anxiety. Like the world is humming with a certain vibration and your slightly out of tune. You want to get 'in tune' but you can't. Hum, mmm.; २५/११/२१, ४:०० PM
Lewis म्हणाले...: Forget about history, the past, let's think about Now - do you love this moment? Now? Then you love what brought you here - your mother, your dad, your school? And your grandad and ma. And there history. And your great grand pa and ma, who were they? Imagine if you just saw them across the street - would you recognise them? Your great grandfather and your great grandmother - across the street. And, yet, after what they have done for us, we forget them.; २५/११/२१, ४:१८ PM
Howard म्हणाले...: Good point Lewis. Forgetting what our ancestors have done for us is how white privilege is denied. All past is prologue.; २५/११/२१, ७:५६ PM
The Godfather म्हणाले...: I quit reading this blog several months ago when Prof. Althouse banned comments. I happened to come back here a week or so ago when Instapundit published a link, and I discovered that comments are back. I hope to hang out here again, enjoying the interesting stuff posted by Prof. Althouse, and the interesting responses by intelligent commenters.; २५/११/२१, ९:४३ PM
Big Mike म्हणाले...: @Althouse, may I assume that after photographing the piece of litter you then picked it up and deposited it in a trash can? Surely you didn’t take the picture and then just leave it there?; २५/११/२१, ११:४९ PM

Facebook declared Kyle Rittenhouse guilty, silencing his defense in the court of public opinion

'...Facebook actively policed its users for pro-Kyle Rittenhouse posts and removed the content. It even targeted posts from legal scholars arguing the merits of his self-defense case.

And it made it hard to see even the stuff it didn’t get killed outright. “One of the big things that they did was manipulate the search engine so you couldn’t even find any references to Kyle Rittenhouse,” Dan Gainor, vice president of the Media Research Center, told The Post. “They’re out of touch with normal people.”

More broadly, the company explained its blackout thusly: “We don’t allow symbols, praise or support of dangerous individuals or organizations on Facebook. We define dangerous as things like: terrorist activity, organized hate or violence, mass or serial murder, human trafficking, criminal or harmful activity.”

'...But Facebook’s staff just couldn’t resist choosing a side. As one employee put it in internal discussions obtained by The Post: “Employees are drunk on the absolute power of being in control of civics in America, without ever having to visit a voting booth (if voting is even an option).

Social media now qualify for various legal protections by claiming to be “neutral platforms.” Yet Big Tech is developing a strong record of suppressing the truth in the service of clear political bias. Something has to change.'

“My view is that what we are seeing is a coordinated effort to selectively use leaked documents to paint a false picture of our company,” Zuckerberg said in a call with Facebook investors.

Facebook is sliding down a very slippery slope by ignoring the first amendment.; २६/११/२१, ३:४८ AM
Lewis म्हणाले...: Howard, 'prologue' to what?; २६/११/२१, ४:०६ AM
Lewis म्हणाले...: As if my granddad parachuting into a swamp the day before d-day and all he he had was a bicycle on his arm and a bar of chocolate. And guess what he did - he ate the chocolate! You f#cking kids, you know nothing! 'Prologue' - bah!; २६/११/२१, ४:१२ AM
Lewis म्हणाले...: I despise people who just pat bs - 'the past is prologue' - I imagine the zombies advancing on me, in that apocalyptic world I do not want to imagine, though everything compels me to, saying the same thing or some other trite bs they half learned at college. Idiots! Read a book! Read Dickens or Austen or Thackery! 'The history of Henry Esmond, esq.' will do you - you need it.; २६/११/२१, ४:२४ AM
Lewis म्हणाले...: And you know what ' The history of Henry Esmond, esq' is about? It's about John Churchill and how he became the Duke of Marlborough. The great ancestor of our good Winston. He became the Duke by duke it out with the frenchies and winning. And that was when Luis IV was asconced across his Versailles chicken shack, like an insult to all good character and liberty, as we (I include you, the US, in those early days), olde Englishmen used to say.; २६/११/२१, ४:३७ AM
Lewis म्हणाले...: We fought him, we beat him (with Prince Eugene), we always beat the Tyrants and always will, even if it cots us everything.; २६/११/२१, ४:४८ AM
Lewis म्हणाले...: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRbwThkhRxg; २७/११/२१, ११:०१ AM
Lewis म्हणाले...: I don't care about 'me', or 'you'. What I care about is 'us', that 'us' that means what? The basic scrimmage of life is what animals do. Are we animals? And if not, what is different about us? That's all I ask.; ६/१२/२१, ११:५२ PM
Lewis म्हणाले...: Thank you for being a good editor; ७/१/२२, १२:३४ AM
