Some things that I’m totally committed to and also totally understand how people find them incredibly off-putting: Christianity, Liberalism, Jazz Fusion, the EU, the state’s claim to monopoly on legitimate violence as such. Missionary kid.

The single biggest mistake you can make when trying to understand libertarians is to assume libertarianism is distinguished by believing in individual liberty. But what distinguishes libertarianism is antistatism, and when you realize that, lots of things that seem odd fall into place.
Libertarianism believes in individual liberty. Why then are so many who use the label inclined toward authoritarianism, conspiracy thinking, and bigotry?

Fortfarande otroligt för mig att han gjorde den här rollen utan att någonsin ha träffat min kära morbror Georg Lundquist. För det är i princip samma person (minus otroheten och dräpandet).
För mig är Robert Duvalls största roll antagligen som pastorn som konfronterar en rasistisk Billy Bob Thornton i The Apostle. Den enda filmen jag sett som får amerikansk evangelikal kristendom att framstå som sympatisk. VIF.

Spelar det någon roll att Lewi Pethrus-forskarna har gått i en klimatdemonstration?
Nej, om vi skulle kasta ut forskare som av personliga skäl brinner för sitt ämne skulle vi inte få särskilt mycket vetenskap kvar – och den som återstod skulle vara rätt usel.

Lite märkligt är det allt att KD tillsatt en arbetsgrupp för att undersöka Lewi Pethrus & antisemitismen, och att den som leder den säger att "forskarnas hela narrativ om Lewi Pethrus bör ifrågasättas i grunden”.

Lewi Pethrus är inte ett offer – tidningen Dagen får problem när nya forskningsrön skaver
Istället för att ny antisemitismforskning på allvar låter tidningen Dagen en släkting till Lewi Pethrus anklaga forskarna för brott. Förstår redaktionen hur akademisk forskning går till?

great story. reminds me of Thomas Clarkson trying to win a Latin essay contest about 'is it ever right to enslave a man', doing some research, and then being struck by the thunder that his entire life must be spent fighting this evil
I've told this story on ContrabandCamp but it's worth sharing for BHM because it's one of the greatest stories ever.

Maybe it’s my chauvinism talking, but I find it interesting that the resistance has been particularly strong and organized in MS. So there’s an old chicken and egg debate in political science whether strong civil society >high trust>strong, impartial institutions, or the other way around 1/x

A reminder: The inevitable end-product of the Gospel is the destruction of every border and the dissolution of every country. America is temporary. Every country is. A Christian fighting to “save a country” by excusing murder … is a Christian trading the Gospel for a few moments on Caesar’s lap.

Italian voice actor Carlo Bononi was the voice of all of the characters on Pingu. A trained clown by trade, he used a theater technique called grammelot, which consists of "speaking" in a mix of babbled gibberish noises. He improvised all the voices live and unscripted.
