  • The execution currently being wrongfully attributed to Luigi Mangione changed my view—as has the glorious 10th of September, when Charlie Kirk got Charlie Kirk’d.

    I realized that, empirically, I am pro-death penalty in some cases.

    Maybe another way to put it: do you believe in self defense? Maybe not “castle doctrine” or “your ground” but what about cases of war? If killing Nazis and Imperial Japanese soldiers in a war of defense (WWII) is okay, what about self-defense against the billionaires during a class war? It’s no accident the Epstein associates are all “elites.” This is part of the class war and their exercise of power over us.

    That’s a good pitch. I took French in high school so I’ve been benefitting from what I remember of grammar from that after many years without touching the subject. However I’m confident that it’d be basically useless for me if I was starting a new language from scratch.

    That’s super interesting and I totally believe it!

    I have a lot of issues with Duolingo and did think about the free advertising and the fact that they’ve started to use more AI—wouldn’t have taken it too personally if you had been throwing shade. While I don’t pay for it, I just don’t know an alternative I can use in the same way 😕
