“An Armed Society Is a Polite Society” 0
Yet another random act of politeness. The headline:
‘Unfathomable’: Boy finds discarded, loaded gun in family’s Huntersville backyard.
One more time, “responsible gun owner” is an oxymoron.
Scatter politeness while ye may,
For time it is a-flying.
The very person who finds it hey!
Tomorrow may be dying.

The Hunt for Hunter 0
David tries to make sense of the right’s obsession with Hunter Biden (Warning: short commercial at the end). An excerpt:

At the San Francisco Chronicle, Morgan N. Weiland argues that Elon Musk’s concept of free speech does not fit easily into the concepts of the traditional political left or political right (though the right seems to be embracing it, think primarily because of Musk’s tolerance for hate speech). Rather, Weiland suggests that it has other roots. An excerpt (emphasis added):
Instead, Musk is letting information flow, and we are drowning in it.
As an aside, it occurred to me a couple of days ago that, for all right’s concern about “cancel culture” (which is, I think, their term for “accountability”), they do not realize that they are canceling civilized discourse.
Or perhaps they do.
