Hi, this is the regular reminder for the people who find me commenting on Harry Dresden's twitter account that I'm not *that* Lara.

[Boze Herrington, Library Owl 😴🧙‍♀️ @SketchesbyBoze]

J. R. R. Tolkien argued that creation is what gives value and dignity to human life. Fiction, fantasy—these are not frivolous things; they are “a human right.” Those who would “free” us from the ability to create are striking at the very heart of what it means to be human.

Defensive Trump Claims He's Still Virgin

[Will Stancil @whstancil]

I’m a progressive, I don’t think the truth is in the middle or anything, but also a lot of current far-left and far-right extremism do have similar emotional antecedents: low social trust, reactionary nostalgia, a simmering desire to rationalize political violence

i unfortunately think "it's not my job to educate you" , as a phrase, has done tremendous harm to leftwing communities and communication and we all gotta put in doubletime to recover from the harm its caused

[Lara White @LaraTWhite]

Mildly concerned to discover that C.S. Lewis' version of Hell in The Great Divorce bears more than a passing resemblance to twitter, especially in the personages involved.

Lauren Boebert wanting to abolish the Department of Education is like chlamydia speaking out against the dangers of penicillin

Turns out shared identity does not community make, who knew.

[Noah Smith 🐇🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼 @Noahpinion]

Democrats' basic problem is that it views minority groups as being "communities" represented by activists. This model really, really does not work for Latinos.

"We learned from these events that rioting is the only incentive. It did not work at the time, so we need to do it more."

I am not certain that's how it works...?

insanity, you say?

Summer equivalent of the Christmas-New Year's gap, let's gooo

[Swann Marcus @SwannMarcus89]

We should have nonstop celebrations for two weeks between Juneteenth and July 4th and link the holidays together because it would give us a summer festival season, would be patriotic as shit, and Juneteenth celebrates the worst affront to our founding principles being rectified

[Will Stancil @whstancil]

NATO isn’t an empire, it’s not even a government, that’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard

[Lara White @LaraTWhite]

@theamwu Nuclear power creates less waste than coal and more power than anything other than hydroelectric, which is not always available.

Nuclear is the greenest power available to us.

["Online Rent-a-Sage" Bret Devereaux @BretDevereaux]

Though often there is something more revealing in the comparison: folks who are OK with societies of brutal exploitation so long as they are deemed fair among the small enfranchised elite that run them.

I think that vision suffers from deep moral myopia.

Two whistleblowers report that the Cass review covered up a tragic spike in youth suicides after Britain's NHS restricted transition care. Staff were threatened with disciplinary action if they spoke up.

@itsginnydi Sorcerer/Wizard 2 makes a great rogue!

[Lara White @LaraTWhite]

@IRHotTakes I'm enjoying it, I just can't figure out what's /happening/. Feels like the dynamic changes every other episode. Which, to be fair, it's only eight episodes long and we're halfway through it already, so.
