Bad policy can be extraordinarily consequential, our current political dysfunctions are mainly due to bad character. And if you vote for bad character to stop bad policy, you’re making the sickness worse:

Make Character Great Again
America can’t survive the complete corruption of our #political class.

"How does a political movement start to call evil good and good evil?

"Combine a sense of existential threat, a fear of imminent defeat, and a conviction that only cruelty can stave off disaster, and you've got a recipe for this political moment." - David French

Fixing to watch The Drop Out on Hulu - the Elizabeth Holmes story. So good and so horrible how this unfolded. Anyone else watching?

Last night, how many trick-or-treaters did you have?

"In sharing dubious content that confirmed his contrarian priors and flattered his preconceived politics, Musk was not some sort of Twitter aberration but its avatar. He was doing precisely what the platform propels us all to do," writes Yair Rosenberg.

Elon Musk Is No Aberration
The proud new owner of the internet’s dumpster fire isn’t to blame for its issues—yet.

I'm just now reading this about the hacker who started Counter Social.

Y'all probably already know this, but passing along for the fascinating details:

"The Notorious Hacker Who’s Trying to Fix Social Media
Over the past two decades, social media has taken over the world and become a menace to democracy.

"Can a pseudonymous hacktivist get it back on the right track?"

2 year old Lila was supposed to be Olaf tonight, but she is terrified of the costume. Best guess: because it looks like someone killed Olaf and made him into a pelt.

'Oral arguments in the Harvard/UNC cases are underway.

'There are better ways to achieve diversity-true diversity, including race, class, faith, ideology, etc.-than the pernicious combination of racial preferences and legacy advantages.' - David French

"An attempt to do typical #trauma recovery, in the midst of ongoing trauma is the equivalent of undressing someone who is still standing in a life-threatening blizzard. You simply put the traumatized at greater risk of harm.

"When working with ongoing trauma, the focus is not so much on recovery or healing as it is on managing, containing, working together, surviving with dignity, and protecting those things which are valued and can be protected."

- Diane Langberg
