Democrats are understandably bitter about the Republican intransigence that ultimately allowed Neil Gorsuch to take a seat on the U.S. Supreme Court this week. But for Democrats who care about civil liberties, Gorsuch is a better choice than Merrick Garland, the nominee Republican senators refused to consider after he was nominated by President Obama last year.
They seek to sway you from the progressive path with facts and evidence, but facts and evidence are bourgeois constructs weaponized by patriarchal penis-people of pallor!
It's happening on the other side of the pond, too! Members of Parliament and British university officials are calling for intrusive searches of students and their belongings as they enter their exam rooms to combat cheating, which is apparently on the rise, both in frequency and sophistication.
Apparently, one can buy a tiny, tiny earpiece, smaller than a watch battery, at a number of online retail outlets, and it's nearly impossible for exam proctors to catch. The linked article suggested searching "exam cheat" on Amazon. I tried that, and it worked!

In the immortal words of Eighties Aussie rock legends INXS, let’s tie a belt around our necks and pretend everything’s going to work out fine.
Bought Schlichter a drink once. Guy's got an intense roasted garlic flavor in his writing, but in person he seems like a gentle fella who'd prefer that people not be stupid.

So if you teach philosophy and ethics and don't like Trump, what do you do?
Because trying to murder the opposition and stifle free political speech is just hawt antifa, I guess.
Apparently he's on film doing this at least twice, once at the Milo protest and again at the pro-Trump march (this time swinging the lock on a chain into the skull of a pro-Trump guy).

Roads will be the new train tracks. Somehow the insurance industry and the legal industry adapted to idiots throwing themselves In front of trains.
If you dont have a loop recording dash cam already to protect you from insurance scammers, it might be a good idea to get one soon.

I'm wrong again... The beautiful call & response is heard a few minutes later, just after the game of chess:
The actual game seems to come from a tournament game between A. Roesch and W. Schlage, Hamburg 1910.
"Roads will be the new train tracks. Somehow the insurance industry and the legal industry adapted to idiots throwing themselves In front of trains."
But there'a a lot more roads than there ever were train tracks. And the railroad industry was politically powerful and was able to lobby for indemnity.

...Overwhelming to the 1968 eye, so the music just got baked into our heads in the background.
Until now I hadn't realized the scene doesn't even bother with the most beautiful passage.
