I really hope the French Government can work out how to get average class sizes down otherwise burning down cities and looting stores will have to carry on.

Evil detests beauty because beauty is proof of a transcendental order, of objective Goodness and Truth.
To attack beauty is to wage war against the possibility of transcendence.
Beauty is a great affront to nihilism. It testifies to that which is greater than the individual, because to create a beautiful thing is to acknowledge that you are answerable to standards higher than your own. Beauty is often called a great evangelist for this reason.
This is why they outright destroy beauty or try to subvert your perception of it by promoting ugliness or triviality. Beauty is neither neutral nor trivial — your ability to discern the beautiful from the ugly is intimately connected to your capacity to recognize the divine.
Dietrich von Hildebrand once declared that "beauty is the archenemy of mediocrity." Why?
Beauty elevates a person toward truth, goodness, and the divine. The antitheses to beauty drag the soul down into nihilism and worship of the self.

Of course, they’re going to steal from the Apple Store.

“There will be no art, no literature, no science… There will be no distinction between beauty and ugliness. There will be no curiosity, no enjoyment of the process of life. All competing pleasures will be destroyed.”

Left/right partisans often lament Latino voter volatility. But if anything, Latinos have emerged as the nation's most optimistic and rational political electorate. This stubborn indie streak is far healthier than just voting party line every election. Make politicians work.

Latinos aren’t shifting Left or Right.
They are shifting AWAY…From both parties. The evidence is overwhelming.
We’re witnessing a Dealignment NOT a Realignment.
This emergent Latino populism will define American politics over the next decade (A thread 🧵)

Talarico says “The Bible is silent on the issue of abortion,” which is absolutely not true. It exists in the Old and New Testaments, in addition to Psalms.

After weeks of Talarico leading, a new poll snaps the Texas Senate race back to a tie with 10 days until early voting. See what’s behind the shift. usatoday.com/story/news/poli…

Without a doubt, Paxton is a terrible candidate that resulted from GOP hubris. But the fact that Talarico supports puberty blockers for children tells me all I need to know about his backwards worldview.
