Gregorian chant criminally underrated

Politics is more clear when you remember that the "waste" in "government waste" is the profit that some rich asshole isn't making off labor in the public sector whose only purpose is the common good.

Flav will always be the Marion Berry of my heart

After the radiation dissipates, we should start rebuilding by just copy-pasting the Finnish education system. They encourage critical thinking and give swords to doctorates.

I have my problems with any Pope, by definition

But you gotta hand it to Papa Francisco for coining the phrase "theirs is the construction site of hell" in a description of American fascism and then dying almost immediately afterward

Deion Sanders for Pope

Kind, decent, and compassionate, Pope Francis was badly out of step with contemporary western culture.

Interview with James Baldwin. Interviewer: Now we come to the matter of dehumanization, don't we: the impersonality of our time? Baldwin: Yes, yes. Obviously this cannot—I would hate to see it— continue. I don't ever intend to make my peace with such a world; there is so much that's more important than Cadillacs, Frigidaires, and IBM machines. No. And precisely one of the things wrong with this country is this notion that IBM machines and Cadillacs prove something. People always tell me how many Negroes bought Cadillacs last year. This terrifies me. I always wonder: Do you think this is what the country is for? Do you really think this is why I came here, this is why I suffered, this is what I would die for? A lousy Cadillac? Interviewer: That holds for white or black, doesn't it? Baldwin: For white or black, yes, exactly. I think the country has to find out what it means by freedom. Freedom is a very dangerous thing. Anything else is disastrous. But freedom is dangerous. You've got to make choices. You've got to make very dangerous choices. You've got to be taught that your life is in your hands.

I don’t ever intend to make my peace with such a world.
