And op-ed writer for The New York Times, Ross Douthat, is today railing against the New York legislature that has finally, after years of advocacy, sent the bill to the governor for signature. His angle? Slippery slope. And, he calls it euthanasia.
The 600+ comments on that piece are derisory.

Chad Loader raised a good point about the logic of your argument, that if Kamala had won this attack would not have happened. But since Israel genocided Gaza on their watch that logic implies they supported it. Is that a reasonable take?

Yeah, but the toxicity of the broken by product isn’t clear. The article left me thinking that the Guarn loves clickbait now

“Back in my day” we’d call petty shoplifting an act of liberating something we wanted from the evil grasp of capitalists.
Same vibe here.

There is an endogenous substance that can go a long way to that end, but it can be unlocked quickly only by transcending thinking. #EnjoyTM

I had assumed the registry had been in place for a long time already. Not mad about it. Just missing some context

That's right, but an example of how the registry did not work is not a terrific example of its effectiveness.

I thought you were going to say “insights about American…”.

If this guy had ~494 / 500 non registered guns, and if that ratio is the example you point to, doesn’t it mean that the registry law is ineffective (and thus a waste of taxpayer cash)?

Yeah, but they could move to SC and be right at home with all the other stuff

I spent an entire morning w Ravi Shankar at a small college in nowhere Kansas (1971). About 10 ppl were there for a seminar on raga but I was balls tripping on acid and I’m sure he knew it bc he completely ignored me.
It was an interaction only he didn’t know it.
