"Politicians, ugly buildings, and whores all get respectable if they last long enough" is true of ugly buildings and whores. I’m a retired professor of criminal justice, and other subjects that anger people.

@katvanzan.bsky.social are you aware that when a person attempts to reply to a comment you made on a Tom Nichols’s thread, a prompt comes up asking if the reply should be in Japanese because your original post was written in Japanese? Was it?

@pinktweets.bsky.social I said I wasn’t going to police OMG WTF, but I did. Once I figured out what her deal was, I moralized and called her unethical, a freeloader, and a parasite, but in the nice way. She blocked me. Pity. I wasn’t done with her. I was curious about how she thought.

@pinktweets.bsky.social I appreciated your explanation of common law in legal parlance. I’ve wondered why lawyers don’t seem to understand when I talk about world legal systems. Surely if anyone understands tort you do. Your mind strives for the importance of detail. Mine for perspective and 1/2

We need nurses. Nobody needs ICE. So we execute nurses in the streets and give ICE goons a king’s ransom in bonus pay to kill them.

An ICE agent’s finger was bitten off. That must be hard to do! I’d like to see a picture of that.

Funding for ICE for this year can be blocked, as seems appropriate for a paramilitary organization terrorizing the country. Call your Senators at 202-224-3121 and tell them to oppose funding ICE.

@pinktweets.bsky.social did you see Wales is in the process of implementing a limited truth in politics law? To be effective by 2030. If it can stand that long. Interesting because it’s a common law system.
