Over the years a good friend of mine has become increasingly shaky and keeps running along rooftop ledges. Tragically we’ve found out he has parkourkinson’s disease.

@BridgetPhetasy Education. There are so many ways to educate kids, and so many good people are working on this. My husband and I specifically have amazing help in finding what works
A man’s desire for sex without commitment is normal and easy to understand. It’s a huge evolutionary win if she consents—the ultimate bargain. What isn’t normal is for her to agree. Birth control changed women. Men are not much changed, still behave like predators given a chance.
You should trust science, NOT its apparent product
Science is a process. It is worthy of trust because it is uniquely self-correcting. Our problem is that almost all of what looks like science in modern times does not use this method, and actively avoids learning from its errors
Good men make women safe. The state is a terrible substitute. Breaking that dynamic by declaring men bad has given men very little to lose, making them MUCH worse. Women honoring good men, and men honoring good women is the foundation. You won’t build a working civilization without it.
The reward that naturally comes from sex with a partner you are attracted to is the most potent motivator in the known universe. When sex is scarce because women are protecting themselves from getting stuck raising children alone, marriage is the price, and kids are the result. Which naturally motivates both men and women to be excellent so they can marry well, because that matters.
We broke that system without understanding what depended on it. Sex is no longer precious, and civilization is in jeopardy. It’s not quite that simple, but it’s damn close.
@Ike_Saul Driver: In panic, just drove the car towards the agent not with the intention of killing him.
Agent: In panic, just shoot the driver thinking she was running over him.
It was a preventable tragedy in man ways.
I don’t necessarily disagree, but hitting a federal agent with a vehicle (it appears she did hit him) can reasonably result in the use of deadly force. I don’t think she intended to hit him, and was simply trying to drive away. Will be very interesting to see all the facts come out.
The shooting in Minneapolis is basically a roarsach test online.
People who don’t think ICE should be there or stopping people are convinced the use of force was wrong (this obviously includes a lot of the press). Those who believe they were right to be there and detain people view it as justified.
But real life isn’t online. And at the end of the day everything isn’t as easy as sitting at home and analyzing video. These are real people. There are rules for when use of force is justified. The person in the vehicle was clearly wrong to ignore officers and try to drive off. But it’s never a good thing when someone loses their life needlessly and the officer involved is also going to have to live with being part of this for a long time.
Whether the officer needed to use lethal force depends on their perception and whether they thought she was using her car in a way that would weaponize it and risk the safety of the officers or others. To make that determination, they will have to interview the officers involved, learn what was being said, and question the specific officer about what he was thinking at the time.
I will say that the video being shared (below) certainly provides for a plausible belief that the driver was willing to drive over the officers. Of course there are other angles that suggest maybe there was more space/less risk. But the right thing to do is let investigators do their job and make a determination without it being dictated by the politics of the situation.
Bought on a whim in a Petworth antique shop half an hour ago. A plate by Quentin Bell (1910-1996), Vanessa Bell’s son and Virginia Wolfe’s nephew. #Bloomsbury
