The unity/coincidence of subject and object without one dominating the other is the essence of both reason and love
This notion is found in Schelling's idealism, Goethe's science, Fromm's humanism and Levinas' phenomenology

"Japan uses kawaii culture to cover up its war crimes" isn't wrong per se but very funny in the context that the countries that hate Japan the most for its war crimes are some of the largest enjoyers of Japanese kawaii culture

If a process generates opportunities for that much graft that means that it’s a bit too complex and is used by the big fish to keep the little fish out and raise prices. Nothing like making it even harder. Also you know what reduces homelessness, more homes.

i adore the DUP so much. probably the most consistently incompetent party on earth right now
Definitely the funniest bit of this is Vance’s Irish roots being debunked by a taxpayer-funded effort by DUP ministers trying to claim Vance for the unionist side.
JD Vance’s Irish ancestry claim hits a genealogical dead end
DUP-commissioned report fails to find a link between JD Vance — a self-declared Scots-Irish — and Ireland.

China: run by a deflation stan
EU: can't stop trading with a country that wants to kill them
India: national defense policy run by Republic TV

On the one hand the US government is demanding that Harvard give them recordings of every single one of their students so they can be disappeared to an offshore concentration camp for Thoughtcrime. On the other Oberlin had an article about culturally insensitive bahn mis in 2015
very cool that for ten years people at the heights of political commentary insisted to the point of rage that the paramount threat to free speech was “censorious” college students
after announcing that foreign students are being banned from Havard, Noem warns "this should be a warning to every other university to get your act together."

An addendum to this:
You can’t have redistributionist demand policies if supply is inelastic, and many social goods that government provide (healthcare, education, green energy) are too inelastic right now

here’s my “abundance” thesis that will save you from having to read a whole book:
housing is good and progressives, particularly at the state/local level should be working to make it easier, not harder, to build it

see I did extremely well in math and you should google “median” and “mean” before you lecture me about what numbers mean
Well I did poorly in math in high school. But I do know a few things. For example, an average can be raised by an extreme outlier. In this instance, very very wealthy individuals bring the average numerical math upwards in a chart. But that is because of those outliers, not the common experience
well that’s sure embarrassing! why don’t you explain it to me, math man

This is a really big package.
It will give coverage to an entire city, or for an army group breaking through the Russian lines.
And enough APCs to bolster before said breaching.

And yet Trump still whines about Zelenskyy

❌ After Putin refused to discuss this plan, Witkoff canceled his trip to Moscow last week (May 12-16).
