Thicker than political affiliation
I just saw a clip where Jake Tapper rightly called out Senator Sheldon Whitehouse for his failure to take early allegations against Graham Platner seriously.

"Called out" may not be the best term for it. There is a question and a response, then a kind of snide follow up with a quick "Thank you" from Tapper and a "You bet" that I perceived as angry

"This book has gotten a lot of praise, and though I can see why I don’t really agree with it.
Funnily enough, the things I love about this book is also part of my criticism: This book was her first, and she tried something new. That sort of creativity i" Read more of this review » |

Really enjoyed it and felt like they handled some delicate issues well, with it still having an emotional impact. It is fiction, but it feels true enough. |

It's a lot, but it's important and I am glad to have read more than one account now to get a better perspective. One thing from the other book (The Lasting Harm) is that another of the survivors died after the Maxwell verdict. There is such a high tol ...more |

Ultimately very moving. There were some language things that were awkward, I think an attempt to make Ram and Jake sound like different people, but it still pulled me in. |

“Sometimes you have to kind of die inside in order to rise from your own ashes and believe in yourself and love yourself to become a new person.”

“Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.”

“Look you wanna know the truth? I don’t really care about the
stats or the cup or the trophy or anything like that. In fact even the games aren’t that important to me. What matters to me is the perfect throw, making the perfect catch, the perfect step and block. Perfection. That's what it's about. It's those moments. When you can feel the perfection of creation. The beauty the physics you know the wonder of mathematics. The elations of action and reaction and that is the kind of perfection that I want to be connected to.”

“In an era when metaphysical and existential certainties are in a state of crisis, when people are being uprooted and alienated and are losing their sense of what this world means, this ideology inevitably has a certain hypnotic charm. To wandering humankind it offers an immediately available home: all one has to do is accept it, and suddenly everything becomes clear once more, life takes on new meaning, and all mysteries, unanswered questions, anxiety, and loneliness vanish. Of course, one pays dearly for this low-rent home: the price is abdication of one’ s own reason, conscience, and responsibility, for an essential aspect of this ideology is the consignment of reason and conscience to a higher authority. The principle involved here is that the center of power is identical with the center of truth.”

“If the main pillar of the system is living a lie, then it is not surprising that the fundamental threat to it is living the truth. This is why it must be suppressed more severely than anything else.”
