I have resigned as the honorary secretary of the Oxford Literary Debating & Union Trust, the charity that owns the Oxford Union’s buildings, and dispenses its charitable responsibilities onto the Union as its delegate. The callousness of the Union’s President-Elect has shocked

Are there any Istential Threats? The Existential ones are everywhere, but it's the others that sneak up on you.

It makes me particularly happy to see black people standing on principles. The only division should be between the good vs evil in all of us. Not skin color.

Terry Losansky DataRepublican (small r) Jeremy Carl Read a great essay about "Type 2" engineers once about how type 1 engineers will slog towards the ocean, but Type 2 will build a ditch to bring the ocean to them.

Charlie followed me on X. We never interacted. A year ago I thought he was just another conservative dunking on libs. I had only started really understanding his worldview a few weeks ago. I suspected we might collaborate one day. Today it really hit me: that can't happen.

Journalistic tip: Paraphrasing is not the same as quoting.

KIRK: “I do not believe that there’s no place for gay people in the conservative movement.”

I’ve sat through over 50 hours of Charlie Kirk’s videos as an ethnically Black American. Not one racist word. Not 1. What Democrats do is cut snippets, strip context, and shove sound bites at the same gullible slob audience too lazy to fact-check. That isn’t exposing

Others have said the GOP is the stupid party, and the RNC is the evil party. Empirically, I find this difficult to dispute. It is why I am not a Party Man. I wonder what we as individuals can do to change this? 🤔

I ran across this in a UK post, I think. But I saw it and said this is the whole immigration problem distilled: “Immigration without assimilation is invasion.” Yes. TR had it right. Anyone can come to America and be an American. But the quid pro quo is no divided loyalties.

I empathize with anyone who may lose their job, except politicians. I remember previous government shutdowns being mostly a non-issue in the end. It always feels like political click bait.
