@ARKloster @EdWhelanEPPC His strategy is a good one: stand athwart with it, and in 50 years, we’ll finally have enough votes on the 75-member court to get voter ID for the popular-vote-determined presidential election.

Does anyone know where I can invest in some “Free Karmelo” merchandise futures? Can’t wait to see pictures of him with glasses and a goatee in his prison uniform—the posters and shirts and bumper stickers will be big sellers and I want to get into that market early.

[Quintus Aurelius Symmachus @realsymmachus]

@HAHazony Do you have any examples or is this one of those goatee-strumming Twitterati “takes”? I find Aristotle’s Greek as well as Aquinas’s Latin to be economical without sacrificing clarity.

@charlesmurray What BLS fails to consider is that for many women and 100% of Australian men in pink shirts, any salary that doesn’t fund an instaglam lifestyle is not a “living wage.”

@johnkonrad @jacsbk1120 Democracy is so beautiful.

@wylfcen They should call that female look “Zimbabwe face.”

@wil_da_beast630 @JeremyDBoreing Abraham bargaining with god to save Sodomites is pretty Jewish though.

@razibkhan Earlier Mormon doctrine was much more explicit about this, but since the mid-twentieth c. it’s become murkier. It’s Taiwan Strategy of Ambiguity, but for theology. Mormonism doesn’t really have a theology in the traditional sense because its revelation theory shuns finality.

[Quintus Aurelius Symmachus @realsymmachus]

@razibkhan Trinity is a discursive solution to the contradiction of monotheism with more than one god. Mormons assert even more divine beings, straining the monotheism claim, but then also reject trinitarian passkey (mostly). It’s just something they avoid. They don’t think about it.

[Quintus Aurelius Symmachus @realsymmachus]

@GlomarResponder But the Mormons though….

[Quintus Aurelius Symmachus @realsymmachus]

@Rongwrong_ All TV is formulaic, like all mass media, practically by definition. It’s the character House that made the show worth watching precisely because he was not formulaic (until the shows success made him into a new type). It’s why they called it House and not Weekly Medical Mystery.

[Quintus Aurelius Symmachus @realsymmachus]

@peterrhague It was a great show because it was centered around a great character. Stop trying to sound like a genius, asshole.

[Quintus Aurelius Symmachus @realsymmachus]

@TheBrancaShow I believe they call this “Black excellence.”

[Quintus Aurelius Symmachus @realsymmachus]

@hughlaurie @ianpayn @jan_murray Nobody watched House because they were looking to see whether and how some obscure medical mystery would be solved each week—we watched it for of the character you brought to life and made iconic. We watched House, which is why I think it was called House. Makes you think!

@tufftony65 @PpollingNumbers I just think people should consider that what made Lincoln a contender for greatness was his capacity and willingness to kill Americans and to use black people as a post hoc justification for it—I prefer that honesty to saccharin appeals to principles and ideals.

[Quintus Aurelius Symmachus @realsymmachus]

@jameszimmermann @TradVat2 Were you also a Mormon?

[Quintus Aurelius Symmachus @realsymmachus]

@tufftony65 @PpollingNumbers So in your view it was not slavery and it was also worth half million + dead, ok. So is it that he was willing to kill so many Americans for these principles that made him great?
