Respect for Mersheimer, an authentic man and a fearless scholar.

Catholicism survived so long because it is inherently self-correcting.

My cousin told me two days ago that the strike won't happen. She was right.

I actually suspected from the beginning the strike was a set up. It was staged as a vent to deflate our frustrations with fuel prices. Since when have Matatu owners cared for passengers? If it wasn't for their lobbying, we would probably have a mass transit system by now. They released the vent, now the steam with which Kenyans could have protested against the fuel prices is gone.

It's called catharsis, a term which many of us don't know because we believed literature is irrelevant to the market, and which most of your children will never hear about because literature is now a pathway.

Some fields work in theory but not in practice. Some fields work in practice but not theory.
The uniqueness of economics is that it works in neither theory nor practice.

His Holiness Pope Leo XIV (@Pontifex), I condemn the insult to Your Excellency on behalf of the great nation of Iran, and declare that the desecration of Jesus, the prophet of peace and brotherhood, is not acceptable to any free person. I wish you glory by Allah.

You don't stop graffiti by removing graffiti; you stop graffiti by not being evil.

Israel's strategy has been for 80 years to forcefully bury the signal (e.g. bullying Athenians to remove the graffiti or firing U.S. tech workers and professors for comments). It's not working any more.

When people claim "they want peace", they often mean that they want submission.

Let the record reflect that not one former living president denounced Trump’s genocidal pledge to destroy an entire civilization

Like Obama, they’re inconsequential moral cowards who worry in the back of their minds about being held accountable for their own war crimes
