No Cops In Power: New York City To Protest Mayor Adams
New York City, New York - Mayor Eric Adams’ candidacy and then victory in 2021 was the perfect establishment response to the 2020 uprising: electing someone who is both African American and a former police officer. Adams was a founder of the organization 100 Black Men in Law Enforcement Who Care, an advocacy group that focuses on the relationship between Black men and the NYPD, including addressing problems such as racial profiling and police brutality. With this history, it seemed as if Adams would be ready to “take on” the NYPD and their pattern of violence against Black and othe... read more

Two Economic Facts and One Obfuscation
The only reason American international sanctions work is that they are enforced by the American government against Americans and American companies. I should say it’s “the main reason” because American sanctions are also enforced, although more indirectly, against people and companies in friendly countries. Sanctions are analogous to protectionism even if they can be invoked […] The post Two Economic Facts and One Obfuscation appeared first on Econlib. read more

Miscellaneous material for your Monday reading. - Robert Reich rightly questions why trickle-down economics are still being pushed even after decades of consistent failure to accomplish any goal other than increased inequality. And James Galbraith and Mariana Mazzucato each offer an outline as to how to reshape economies to achieve social goals other than further engorging the obscenely-wealthy. - Carina Marquez et al. study how the length of actual COVID infection has changed over the course of the pandemic, finding an increased length of infection in the Omicron phase even as i... read more
'A Look to the Heavens"
“Why isn't this ant a big sphere? Planetary nebula Mz3 is being cast off by a star similar to our Sun that is, surely, round. Why then would the gas that is streaming away create an ant-shaped nebula that is distinctly not round? Clues might include the high 1000-kilometer per second speed of the expelled gas, the light-year long length of the structure, and the magnetism of the star visible above at the nebula's center. One possible answer is that Mz3 is hiding a second, dimmer star that orbits close in to the bright star. A competing hypothesis holds that the central star's own sp... read more
"We Were There..."
"Someday stars will wind down or blow up. Someday death will cover us all like the water of a lake and perhaps nothing will ever come to the surface to show that we were ever there. But we WERE there, and during the time we lived, we were alive. That's the truth - what is, what was, what will be - not what could be, what should have been, what never can be." - Orson Scott Card "Now the voices and the sound of movement were gone, and the stream could be heard running quietly under its banks. The air was full of the scent of water and of flowers. She walked, quiet, while the house beg... read more
The Poet: John O'Donohue, "For The Time Of Necessary Decision"
*"For The Time Of Necessary Decision" * "The mind of time is hard to read. We can never predict what it will bring, Nor even from all that is already gone Can we say what form it finally takes; For time gathers its moments secretly. Often we only know it's time to change When a force has built inside the heart That leaves us uneasy as we are. Perhaps the work we do has lost its soul, Or the love where we once belonged Calls nothing alive in us anymore. We drift through this gray, increasing nowhere Until we stand before a threshold we know We have to cross to come alive once more. May w... read more

a sophisticated science devoid of love
But “God” is not merely an empty name. When you utter the name I AM and feel that it refers to the finite self alone or to your name or fame or personality this then is devoid of God-intent. For when you utter the name I AM it is intended to epitomize the fullness of the divine identity so that you no longer feel the frustrating sense of separation from the eternal principle of life but that you, as an individual monad, become comforted by the gracious flame of life which expresses through you and is as much a part of you as anything could ever be. For you could never become as iden... read more

The Golden Rule and the Hunter Biden Scandal: Three Questions Raised by the FBI Leak
[image: undefined] Below is my column in the Hill on the noticeably narrow scope of charges referenced in the recent FBI leak from the Delaware investigation. The leak raises a number of intriguing questions in its wake. Here is the column: President Biden’s hot mic moment during a visit to hurricane-stricken Florida — in which he muttered that “No one f–ks with a Biden” — left many people confused. His Sopranos-like warning might not deter developing hurricanes but it has succeeded for years in Washington as a kind of “Biden Golden Rule.” Neither prosecutors nor the press have see... read more

It’s Time To Tell Biden We Say ‘NO!’ To Nuclear War!
[image: undefined] Last week the New York Times ran a shocking article claiming that the US intelligence community believes the Ukrainian government to be responsible for the August attack that killed Darya Dugina, the daughter of a prominent Russian philosopher. Surely the established narrative that Ukraine is a model western democracy standing strong for our shared values against an aggressive Russian invader is damaged with reporting that Kiev conducted an al-Qaeda style attack on an innocent civilian inside Russia. The murder of Dugina was a textbook definition of terrorism, wh... read more
