Our country was founded with the enactment of the Declaration of Norms.

And then became the first democracy to publish a written Normalization.

Haven't you ever heard of the Bill of Norms?

Or "Foe", which admittedly is fewer letters when room is limited, but turns anyone criticism the government into comic book villains.

I don't know enough really, but I did read The Waning of the Middle Ages by Johan Huizinga, who describes Midaeval culture as entirely visual and symbolic, which got stagnant. Also difficult to trust anything written. Add violent religious partisanship and you can see the need for clarity.

You know how English spoken in the Renaissance to, say, the 18th century seems obsessed with precision? I wonder if that is a response to a similar breakdown of trust.

If the middle ages got stuck in performance, maybe it took a conscious effort to make words convey thoughts again.

Trump always uses racist outrage to distract from a bad news cycle. If I was the leader of Somalia I would issue an official statement:

"Nice try. Release the Epstein files."

Just boredom.

Mad Men ended and everyone was like "Who took my office with its own cocktail bar?"

What's on Radio 4 today?

A peek in the archives, a tour around what used to be the World Sevice, reporters wax lyrical about what it is like to be a reporter, what it was like to be one in the past, an interview with the archivist, and a panel show with someone who once knew the archivist.

So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates -- rats eating Brazil nuts..

RELEASE THE WOKEN!

So, it's
WAR AGAINST NORWAY!

Well maybe the preparation necessary for beating up civilians is less than for fighting other elite units.

You should read the original.

also it’s bleakly funny that these guys still can’t believe that the majority of americans hate their fucking guts, and so they’re just ripping the wiring out of everything looking for the button that turns off liberalism. the longer they go without finding it the more insane they get.

And it had the Radiohead soundtrack.

I'd you haven't already, Google:

Enigmas Gamines

I've had AI help with code. For every time it offers something useful, there have been four times I had to stop and say "no that's stupid".

I'm sure it will get better, but at the moment it's more of a curiosity.
