The two best kid fantasies are Harry Potter (learning magic at a boarding school) and Pokemon (gathering a team of magical fighting creatures).
A story about a boarding school for creature trainers would do numbers.

Some amount of pardon power as a check on the judiciary is probably a good thing

history books have too many facts, please just tell me how different schools of historians have understood the facts and how that's chagned over time

@hjessy_ Someone should do a ranking of the wildest gubernatorial line of succession's.

Very funny that Debbie Stabenow is in the gubernatorial line of succession in Michigan.

Why in the world is THIS of all things West Virginia's line of succession?? Ex-Governors become the Governor again.

I will once again say that the lack of any requirements on internal models like Mythos is one of the biggest problems with the SB53 etc regime

@mistahzip_es @MattZeitlin What do people do with them? If I had a CRT, I would pay someone to take it away. I can't imagine paying money for one.

this sounds silly but when you think of it "would you pay more or less than $8 for a $500 TV from 1997," it doesn't sound crazy
Cameron Murray@DrCameronMurray
According to the US CPI, the nominal price of televisions has fallen 98.4% since 1997. Which means that a tv that cost $500 in 1997 costs $8 today. Does that make sense? One issue is that a lot of this apparent decline is quality adjustment. I describe the issues with quality adjustments here: fresheconomicthinking.com/p/lower-bound-…

Mormon theology has been in the discourse for a ghastly reason but enough time has passed that I’ll briefly weigh in:
The philosophical revolution which the nation of Israel undertook was the rejection of any Metaphysical Realm—some “background reality” behind the God(s). Call it the fates, kismet, eternal law, whatever. Some higher, deeper, non-animate force which even divine beings must obey.
This rejection, and the replacement of the Realm with a single, almighty creator God, is the core engine—and riddle—of the Abrahamic faiths: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
Mormonism’s greatest divergence from Nicene Christianity isn’t anything silly like prophets in America or magical undergarments. Even its more initially-startling ideas like “As God now is, man shall be” isn’t such a far stretch from orthodox ideas like Theosis.
The greatest breach is that Mormonism reintroduces the Metaphysical Realm. And this does “solve” a lot of theological problems. But it solves them in the same way which, say, Shintoism or Chinese folk religion does.
JoshN@joshnaa2gez
All the things that make Mormonism “heretical” are what make it a viable alternative to mainstream Christianity. Pre-mortal life makes free will possible. God’s perfect obedience to eternal law resolves the problem of evil. Work for the dead makes man accountable for what he knows, not punishable for his ignorance. God’s origin as a man, and man’s destiny as a God, makes our present condition worthwhile, the sacrifice of Christ infinite, and the worth of souls eternal. Degrees of glory mean good people who reject Christ are not treated the same as murderers and rapists. Dogmatic Christians clutch their pearls. But honest atheists, agnostics and people of undetermined faith look at it and go, “Huh… that actually could be…”
