Madness is increasing apace and the ordinary people obey, ignore, or deny. Fake reformers give false hope to prolong inaction.

@Takemikazuchi26 Hoping for no deaths, maybe fuselage inside, like the one that hit the Empire State Building.

@America42085192 @Luizmd @ABC The article was blaming the outbreak on a policy change affecting the existing base, not recruits. Others have devoted more space to this point. Clearly, this was not caused by the policy change, whether we like the change or not.

[Rush the House @RushTheHouse]

@America42085192 @Luizmd @ABC The new recruits into basic comprise 0.6% of the force there, according to reports. It may be incorrect, but new recruits aren't a significant part of a base, so the point stands. 70,000 at that base, 160 with flu.

@ihatejazzmusic @Crow_D_McGee @AtheistPhoenix Yes. i, a Catholic, went for a bike ride today and when stopping to refill water, spied two LDS (Mormon) missionaries. I wished them a good morning and exchanged pleasantries. I told them i was working on a Catholic/LDS dialogue book. We talked as brothers and had a lovely time.

@Luizmd @ABC Given this is among trainees coming from all over, perhaps it indicates the flu came from outside and has nothing to do with policy. As a new policy, most of the other 99.4% probably still protected, if the vaccine really works. If not, it will spread.

@FoxNews They'll say this is facism. Fascists don't eliminate opponents by voting them out so they can enjoy their dishonest wealth ;)

@Sachinettiyil @MihchaelO In 2015, Dr. Öberg led a team using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) to discover the first complex organic molecule—methyl cyanide (CHv3CN)—in a protoplanetary disk around the young star MWC 480. v3 indicating subscript 3.

Found this online, pretty cool.

@klara_sjo @CassandraRules “bedtime stories activities . . . do indeed foster and produce . . . familial relationship goods,” he wouldn’t want to ban them, but that parents who 'engage in bedtime-stories activities' should definitely at least feel kinda bad about it sometimes..."
Considered a ban, though.

@BreeSolstad My mother was living with my father, not married, and heard the bells of the cathedral each day while at work. She felt they were calling her, finally went and took instruction, was baptized. Her father was an atheist who had molested her. It took decades to find peace.

@_jestingpilate_ @kebayf That experience matters would seem a reasonable assumption, and seems much like empirical confirmation. Compelling.

A student today at my elite university admitted to me today that she took a class so she could work on reading for more than 20 minutes at a time. She can't read. She mainly skims and summarizes, she says and still gets A's.

This student is, by professional standards, illiterate. Gonna have high GPA when she graduates.

This conversation was had after 6 of 22 students dropped my course because the maximum reading per week in one week was over 100 pages.

What people aren't grasping is that this is literally *dangerous*. These people are going to be come doctors, engineers, etc. They are - by any metric - vastly less capable than prior generations. These effects are cumulative over a lifetime.

This grade inflation is part of the problem, but not even close to the entirety. And the problem obviously starts in K-12.

Students don't know history because, you can't actually become historically literate on the advice of 'never assign more than 30 pages a week'. You can't develop any of the skills that came with literacy. This is, quite honestly, a civilizational catastrophe.

Been awhile! I got banned from Twitter somehow and just restored. Apparently, some kind of reporting attack. My campaign site got hit hard from China, too. Anyway, my first book is out, i was interviewed about it: https://t.co/Nm9wZeUETx

Two notes.

First, @SenatorBennet tells Gabbard “it’s not about you,” as he makes it about her. That’s idiotic.

Then, he demands her to say Snowden is a traitor, when a. he wasn’t charged with treason and b. he hasn’t been prosecuted. That’s insane.

I've been listening to folks going on about how great #Caddyshack is for something like 40 years so the wife and I finally sat down to watch it. Got a little more than halfway. Don't judge me.

@kebayf A visiting Catholic bishop from Vietnam said Sunday Mass, gave the homily with a server's translation. He had no doubt suffered greatly, but was so gracious, showing so much quiet joy. It was lovely. So glad it wasn't marred by politics.

Lewis notes that talk about loving God above others may cause some to be “alarmed because they cannot feel towards God so warm a sensible emotion as they feel for the earthly Beloved.” He has an answer for this which is very characteristically him, and always helpful to me.
