Republicans in Congress have voted to protect wealthy pedophiles.

Why? Use the sense God gave a goose. I’m sure you can figure it out.

The new Connections. Could my current favorite TV show have something to do with it? Or is it all a trick?

From The Gulag Archipeligo by Solzhenitsyn. In the Soviet Union, the experts were tried and executed and the know-nothings were in charge. Sound familiar?

The Dunning-Kruger Effect.

Started reading this. In the second chapter, barbecue is spelled “barbeque”. Uuuurk! Brain comes to screeching halt!

My beef with how the Kobo app works on the Boox Palma: Even though I have bought and downloaded the book, I can't open the app to read without going online. This uses more battery. I can go offline right after I open it, but WTF? The Kindle app doesn't require this.

Some wise words from Solzhenitsyn, from The Gulag Achipelgo, regarding the strengthening value of defeat.

Ideology allows evil to persist.

Solzhenitstyn, in The Gulag Archipelago, listing the mildest tactics of Soviet interrogation:

Police in the United States are also permitted to lie to obtain confessions. I had one case recently where the cop was bold enough to put it in his police report.

“Kathy would do all the talking, she always had. She was the kind of person who’d read street signs aloud rather than suffer silence.”

A great book to read right now. As the purges begin, it’s easy to project they’ll continue on to something like this. Russia was a vast, racially diverse country, famous for culture: literature, music, theater, dance. An agricultural giant too. Look what happened.

Gulags in Greenland?

There’s a lot of absurd humor in Will Eno’s plays. Also, a lot of sudden hits of genuine, raw feeling. Eno is a playwright that will always make you laugh, but keep you off balance and make you feel strong emotions.

(Pictured: Cover of Will Eno’s plays, “Middletown.”)
