Economist I follow posted a paper that shows American consumers paying 100% of Trump’s tariffs and got this tweet in response. 😀

First of all, the definition of high art has always been peculiar/elastic.

Second of all, I’ve seen masterpieces produced from behind the couch in dinghy post-Soviet apartments, in societies in chaos. Then especially, the function of art is to change the alchemy of existence.

Ebola + conflict: two of the other of WHO’s top health threats in 2019. Seems like a fun mix.

For reference, a single M109A7 self-propelled howitzer costs $9.6 million. This is a trivial amount of money in the context of the larger DoD budget. https://t.co/k93cjRgdgD

Aargh.

«During the Civil Rights movement of the 50’s and 60’s, Martin Luther King, Jr. was most frustrated by the overwhelming silence from the vast majority of white churches.  These were nice churches, not anti-black, not pro-segregation, just opting to stay out of all these politics.  This is called complicity, and it’s silence like this that allows the folks that are openly hateful to get away with it.  It allows structures to remain in place that harm individuals.  We’ve been in the midst of a new Civil Rights movement, and the church continues the same patterns as before, either silence or self-defense…anything other than what the world really needs.»

They both seem right. Dianne Feinstein shouldn’t/can’t be logrolled by some organization trying to use kids to get done whatever it’s trying to get done (score points?), but we do need a solution.

Sometimes I feel like this is the Methodist Church.

There will be a photo opportunity with board members and their wives mingling with young people. This will boost our millennial recruitment drive.
