The one complaint I will indulge is that Nolan made the same mistake in his representation of the ancient Greek warriors as Zack Snyder made in his hit 2006 film 300. Nolan and Snyder share a vision of warfare in the ancient world as dirty, dark, and grim. Colors are muted, sepia-toned, all gray iron and filthy hardened leather. This Hollywood misrepresentation of ancient warfare is the one hill I will die on. These warriors were shining, as vividly hued as the bright paint on the ancient statuary we wrongly believe to have been bare white. Far from the dim, grimy stock of both Nolan’s and Snyder’s palettes, an ancient battlefield would have sparkled and flashed like a fireworks display. This failure to do justice to the actual beauty and drama of the real arms, armor, banners, horns, ships, and other kit of the ancient theater of war is, as I wrote when comparing the helmets of 300 to the genuine article, like making a tin can stand in for a Picasso.

SVZ: Yeah, yeah. And he says, “What are you doing defending this guy Mandela?! He’s obviously a communist. My friend Henry Kissinger told me about where all of the money’s coming from,” and all of this. I was, like, all due respect, Paul…

DM: I remember it very vividly, because it was aimed at everybody standing in the general direction.

SVZ: Yeah, but mostly he was telling me.

DM: Well, yeah, you were the one… Everybody knew who to get mad at first. [laughter]

SVZ: He knew more than me, he knew more than Mandela, he knew more than the South African people. His famous line, of course, was, “Art transcends politics.” And I said to him, “All due respect, Paulie, but not only does art not transcend politics… art is politics. And I’m telling you right now, you and Henry Kissinger, your buddy, go fuck yourselves.” Or whatever I said. But he had that attitude, and he knowingly and consciously violated the boycott to publicize his record.

Nov. 30, 2023 White House statement on the death of Henry Kissinger:

"I’ll never forget the first time I met Dr. Kissinger. I was a young Senator, and he was Secretary of State—giving a briefing on the state of the world. Throughout our careers, we often disagreed. And often strongly. But from that first briefing — his fierce intellect and profound strategic focus was evident. Long after retiring from government, he continued to offer his views and ideas to the most important policy discussion across multiple generations. Jill and I send our condolences to his wife Nancy, his children Elizabeth and David, his grandchildren, and all those who loved him."

Duke University is proud to provide full tuition grants for admitted undergraduate student residents of North Carolina and South Carolina whose families have a total income of $150,000 or less.

For Duke undergraduate students from North Carolina and South Carolina with total family incomes of $65,000 or less, the university will provide full tuition grants, plus financial assistance for housing, meals and some course materials or other campus expenses, without the need for student loans.

This additional financial aid for undergraduates reflects Duke’s commitment to our students from the Carolinas. By providing more equitable access to a Duke education, and ensuring students have the additional support and resources they need to truly thrive while here at Duke, we will also make our campus community stronger.

It is certainly difficult to reconcile Cardinal Ratzinger’s words to the teaching of Pope Pius VII, who in his encyclical letter Post tam diuturnas, denounced indifferentism and the new concept of religious liberty:

By the fact that the indiscriminate freedom of all forms of worship is proclaimed, truth is confused with error, and the Holy and Immaculate Spouse of Christ is placed on the same level as heretical sects and even as Jewish faithlessness."[24]

"A heat pump can be more than 100% efficient because it is not generating heat but just moving it from one place to another. This means heat pumps, depending on outdoor conditions and on the heat pump design, can be anywhere from 200% to 400% efficient. This means the system moves more heat than the energy required to operate the system. For example, an efficiency of 200% means that two units of heat are moved from outdoors to indoors for every one unit of electricity used."

“You thought it meant a swishy little boy with peroxided hair, dressed in a picture hat and a feather boa, pretending to be Marlene Dietrich? Yes, in queer circles, they call that camping. It’s all very well in its place, but it’s an utterly debased form… What I mean by camp is something much more fundamental. You can call the other Low Camp, if you like; then what I’m talking about is High Camp. High Camp is the whole emotional basis of the ballet, for example, and of course of baroque art. You see, true High Camp always has an underlying seriousness. You can’t camp about something you don’t take seriously. You’re not making fun of it; you’re making fun out of it. You’re expressing what’s basically serious to you in terms of fun and artifice and elegance. Baroque art is largely camp about religion. The ballet is camp about love… Do you see at all what I’m getting at?”

In keeping with their book’s generally upbeat mood, the two manage to tell the story of the Partnership for a New Generation of Vehicles as a kind of automotive comedy. Japanese automakers, excluded from the project, mistakenly took Detroit at its word. They assumed that the Big Three actually intended to develop super-efficient vehicles, and, to protect themselves, they stepped up their own research efforts. Within a few years, Honda had introduced the Insight, and Toyota had introduced the Prius; both got nearly fifty miles to the gallon. (Carson and Vaitheeswaran are adamant that the Prius is not the car of the future, though they give Toyota high marks for forward thinking.) The Big Three were then forced to play catch-up: Ford eventually licensed hybrid technology from the Japanese.

“Of course, there is some truth in advertising. There's yeast in bread, but you can't make bread with yeast alone. Truth in advertising,” announced Lord Peter sententiously, “is like leaven, which a woman hid in three measures of meal. It provides a suitable quantity of gas, with which to blow out a mass of crude misrepresentation into a form that the public can swallow. Which incidentally brings me to the delicate and important distinction between the words 'with' and 'from.' Suppose you are advertising lemonade, or, not to be invidious, we will say perry. If you say 'Our perry is made from fresh-plucked pears only,' then it's got to be made from pears only, or the statement is actionable; if you just say it is made 'from pears,' without the 'only,' the betting is that it is probably made chiefly of pears; but if you say, 'made with pears,' you generally mean that you use a peck of pears to a ton of turnips, and the law cannot touch you—such are the niceties of our English tongue.”

Geoghegan argues eloquently against the intrusion of corporate welfare statism. The New Deal statutory regulations may have strangled labor much more than they protected it. If the laissez-faire free market corporate ownership elites truly want an unregulated private sector, maybe organized labor also would be better off by taking its efforts back to the streets. Imagine the raw power of sweeping secondary boycotts without the specter of section 8(b)(4) unfair labor practices under the National Labor Relations Act.3 0 State intrusion into labor management relations has, if anything, not-so-subtly recalibrated power relationships even more in favor of ownership.31 Geoghegan recalls the sage words of an old college instructor friend, analyzing the perverse ramifications of statism for organized labor:

"We don't know what the New Deal really was. We think of it in terms of the welfare state, and that it was a redistribution of income. But there wasn't much of that. The New Deal wasn't so much a redistribution of income as a redistribution of power."
...
"The thing that was different about American labor . . . well, there was a fatal moment, back in the thirties, when American labor embraced the state, and it really threw in with the New Deal.... Now, you look at labor in England... they never embraced the state, they never threw in with it, the way labor did here."

So when the state turned on labor, as it did later on, labor didn't know how to fight back. It had no "anti-statist" tradition to fall back on, as Lech Walesa or Solidarity would have now, if their "New Deal" in Poland ever fell apart.
...
We should never, ever, embrace the state.

Screenshot from the New Yorker article about Brooks:

It would be one thing if Brooks were reconciled to writing Enneagram tests, but “The Meaning of Your Life” is self-help that dreams it is philosophy. It makes a scattered show of its erudition in the form of drive-by efforts to project philosophical literacy. Only the aggressive carelessness that once enabled Brooks to write a column about how to “enhance your mood” with a playlist inspired by the unremitting pessimist Arthur Schopenhauer could have yielded his tortured misreadings of Ralph Waldo Emerson, Søren Kierkegaard, and Karl Marx. Friedrich Nietzsche once declared, “The discipline of suffering, of great suffering—do you not know that only this discipline has created all enhancements of man so far?” This doesn’t stop Brooks from summarizing Nietzsche’s position as follows: “There is no essence to life, so the secret is to have fun and not worry too much about it.”

But none of these ornamental flourishes can conceal his fundamental incuriosity. “Until recently,” Brooks writes hazily, of the meaning of life, “the definition probably wasn’t so important, because of the way people lived, just naturally going about life in ways that delivered meaning every day.” Which people? How recently? Readers of “The Meaning of Your Life” could be forgiven for thinking that despair was invented in 2007, the year the first iPhone was released. Brooks has no interest in the broader sweep of history and, indeed, no apparent knowledge of the philosophical accounts of encroaching meaninglessness which have been on offer for centuries—the 1785 letters in which the German philosopher Friedrich Heinrich Jacobi developed the idea of nihilism to describe the etiolation that accompanied the Enlightenment, for instance, or the fin-de-siècle sociologist Max Weber’s lament about how modernity shattered a formerly coherent world.

"Homeland Security Department legislation in the Senate will do serious damage to the guarantees contained in the Bill of Rights," said Laura W.

For all of Sanders’ talk of a “political revolution” and economic inequality, the candidate never seemed to understand that it’s all but impossible to make it out of the Democratic primary without winning over black women—especially those over 35 years old. Perhaps he didn’t have staffers telling him that 70 percent of black women voted in 2012, beating out any other voting demographic; some voter turnout experts argue that black people overall outvoted white men and women in 2008. Keep in mind that black voter turnout has been increasing since at least 1996, with black women leading that charge.

Ask Barack Obama. Black women win presidencies.

'These statements, of course, seem to contradict the counsel that the models implicitly provide to stakeholders and policymakers. But it’s important to remember that these models are not intended to provide counsel—let alone prophesy. Rather, they are intended to be, as the IPCC says, “policy relevant, not policy prescriptive.” Indeed many scientists and economists who responded to a recent survey of IAM modelers were eager to clarify that their work is “explorative” rather than “predictive” and should not be taken to prescribe “the eventual deployment of BECCS or negative emissions.” Detlef van Vuuren, a scientist and modeler at the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency and a board member with the Integrated Assessment Modelling Consortium, once told a reporter, with some impatience, that IAM modeling is “just an element, a tool to explore different trajectories on the basis of the knowledge we have today and to see what kind of things we might encounter.”

'Yet policymakers do not always see IAMs as hypothetical explorations. Instead, they tend to see them as maps to the future. A 2021 Congressional Research Service report on climate scenario modeling, for instance, advises that the IPCC’s mitigation scenarios may “provide a foundation for Members of Congress who are considering climate change mitigation proposals,” because they are “specifically designed to find technology deployments that meet specified climate or emissions constraints, typically in a lowest-cost manner.”'

And the pull quote:

'Many people seem to be developing, and proceeding under, the false belief that we can keep using fossil fuels and then deploy CDR in order to halt or reverse global heating.'

Abstract

Ecological and societal disruptions by modern climate change are critically determined by the time frame over which climates shift beyond historical analogues. Here we present a new index of the year when the projected mean climate of a given location moves to a state continuously outside the bounds of historical variability under alternative greenhouse gas emissions scenarios. Using 1860 to 2005 as the historical period, this index has a global mean of 2069 (±18 years s.d.) for near-surface air temperature under an emissions stabilization scenario and 2047 (±14 years s.d.) under a ‘business-as-usual’ scenario. Unprecedented climates will occur earliest in the tropics and among low-income countries, highlighting the vulnerability of global biodiversity and the limited governmental capacity to respond to the impacts of climate change. Our findings shed light on the urgency of mitigating greenhouse gas emissions if climates potentially harmful to biodiversity and society are to be prevented.

“It essentially was because Barney Frank and HRC had totally lost touch with what the community was,” Keisling said. “So they did not understand that this would not be alright with the community and we all found out very quickly in a matter of hours that it really was not, that the movement had really become an LGBT movement and it wasn’t going to fly to take trans people out. So not only were we against the vote happening, we were the leaders of being against the vote happening.”

“The reason why Barney Frank was able to introduce and get the kind of support he did in Congress was because there was a feeling [of] who cares, nobody knows about these people,” Juro said. “What that did was it said, ’No, no, no,’ you’re wrong.’ and people are going to call you out and it’s going to cost you politically and people are going to show up at the Human Rights Campaign galas and make it difficult for you to solicit money for your campaign.”

A paragraph of text and Figure 7 from the paper.

Text: "More systematic data too indicate partisan antipathy. Figure 7 provides some data from the Justices’ voting for the President in “high-stakes decisions” when the President is of the same political party as the Justice and when the President is of a different political party."

Figure 7: A bar graph comparing how often the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the President in "high-stakes disputes", when the president is of the same vs. opposing party to the chief justice, grouped by chief-justice era. In each era, the court ruled in favor of the president more often when he was of the same party as the chief justice, but the magnitude of difference is dramatically greater for the Roberts court than for the Warren, Burger, and Rehnquist courts: The Warren court ruled for co-partisan presidents 2 percentage points more often than opposing-party presidents. For the Burger court, the difference is 2 percentage points, for the Rehnquist court it is 13 points, and for the Roberts court it is 29 points.

Caption to Figure 7:

"Percentage votes in favor of the President in high-stakes disputes, by whether the President and the Justice are of the same political party and by Chief Justice era, 1953–2021 terms."

Screenshot of the first page of the article, with the abstract:

Just as the American public is politically polarized, so too is the U.S. Supreme Court. More than ever before, a clear alignment exists between the Justices’ partisanship and their ideological leanings (known as “partisan sorting”). Disapproval of opposing-party identifiers also appears to have intensified (“partisan antipathy”).

This Article offers evidence of both forms of polarization. It shows that partisan sorting has resulted in wide gaps in voting between Republican and Democratic appointees; and it supplies data on “us-against-them” judging in the form of increasing antipathy toward opposite-partisan presidents. Taken collectively, the data point not to law “all the way down,” as Justice Elena Kagan once asserted, but to partisanship all the way down.

Proposals to curb partisan judging often call on Congress and the President to act. Considering political gridlock in and between the elected branches, these calls seem unrealistic; they also fail to account for the politicians’ incentives to preserve a polarized Court. The implication here is that if change is to occur, it is likely to come from the actors who have the most to gain from de-politicizing the Court: the Justices themselves. Bits of evidence suggest that (some of) the Justices understand the need for self-adjustment.
