So I had someone contact me late last week about a home library of books they were getting rid of and wanted me to come look at. When people say this I never quite know what to expect, I’ve had “library” mean anything from one to five or six boxes. Well, this house was literally a library. Every room, excluding the bathroom, was lined with floor to ceiling shelves packed with books. So far I have acquired the entire Harvard classics library, all of Dickens, all of Rudyard Kipling in leather bound hardback, many volumes of art, travel, music, history, photography, poetry. A signed set of John L Stoddard’s travel lectures and signed Intimate papers of colonel House volumes I-IV plus so much more. I brought my 12 yo along and we had such a time going through everything. Not all are up on the website yet, but will be soon.

For every one of our taverns, the communists have a coffee shop for the same purpose. You’re dancing with a shadow in the dark.

“Oh come on Rando, Brosnan is clearly not the best Bond” Oh yeah? Watch my man blast an absolutely pristine piece of exotic, super-rich tail point blank because she wouldn’t obey, and then immediately establish dominance with body posture.

Elliot Page claims “In terms of looking at nature as if it’s some sort of cis hetero patriarchal structure is absurd, and that this gender binary that we’ve created is nothing but a quaint little myth.”

I wish there was still a frontier you could just ride off into, some open space not yet owned, boundaries unknown, an experience of a great unknown in life, now the last great frontier is death

This statement from Amy Coney Barrett tells me she is unfit for the job. Millions of police officers and military members explain body armor to their kids every day. If you can't explain to a 12 yr old boy, you have no business making national decisions.

This is a very good example of high sexual neuroticism but on an institutional level, you have the implicit idea that male desire is immoral and dirty and dangerous, that it contaminates female dignity, violates them with unconsented-to sexualization, but with the added institutional level that male desire is a moral danger must be managed from the outside, that some sort of external authority, in this case the broadcaster, needs to be tasked with managing the possible sexual perception of female athletes because it's unacceptable and even dangerous that male desire be activated. And you can tell this is female neuroticism because at no point is it suggested that women perform in clothes that aren't one step above underwear - no, it's the dirty men and their horrible sexual leering that taints something innocent with scary and threatening sexuality. So you end up with institutional sexual neuroticism treating male desire as a public risk that must be managed by authority
