Notes

The internet is being buried in “makes you think” and “hmm” statements that provoke the thought “wow, this author really didn’t think this through before posting.” 🤔

Instead of trying to show the bigots that their genes do not make them superior, we should focus on a phenomenon I’ve noticed:

Bigotry is correlated with incompetence.

The ol’ striosomes are taking a break today.

That Tom Cotton and Marjorie Taylor Greene can be elected to national leadership unopposed highlights how badly we need proper multiparty democracy in the US.

Four years ago I wryly noted that the reported odds of Clinton winning were similar to surviving Russian roulette. Favorable, but not so much that I was comfortable with the gun held to our head.

Today the reported odds for Biden winning are better. I’m still not comfortable.
