4. "Zorzal's Song," Patrick Madden | Orion
This is writing for writing’s sake, writing for the feeling it invokes and evokes, writing that is . . . 'joyful, gleeful, proud.'”

Oh, cool!
"Speaking of pulling and shaping and distorting, I realize that I’ve been a bit coy in naming but not describing the zorzal. Forgive me." Patrick Madden in @Orion_Magazine:

ALT Headline: Zorzal's Song Dek: Some of the joy I experience in writing comes from finding a new connection, a juxtaposition that generates some resonance of recognition beyond established categories and prefixed meanings. But one can only stray so far. Tagline: Patrick Madden for Orion A logo in the bottom right reads “Longreads Editor’s Pick”

The most that can be said about the present moment is that there is disagreement within the Leopards Eating People’s Faces Party about which faces to eat in what order.

Really is a tough call.
On one hand - every Nobel prize winning economist is adamantly stating that Harris has a significantly better economic plan
But on the other hand - the dumbest people I’ve ever interacted with say Trump is a good businessman
Quite the dilemma

The US has had 46 presidents. Among them, there have been 91 criminal felony charges indicted. Those charges are distributed among the presidents as in the following list:

History is speaking to America right now — and I’m convinced we can learn from the hard lessons of Europe's tragic flirtation with fascist dictators a century ago. My hourlong special “The Story of Fascism in Europe” is streaming free (and ad-free) at ricksteves.com/fascism.

When asked how fascism starts, Bertrand Russell replied: "First they fascinate the fools. Then they muzzle the intelligent."

You wouldn’t think of someone like Elon Musk as an illegal immigrant, would you?
Most people will react to this story by attacking Musk’s hypocrisy or by defending his case as “different” from the “typical” undocumented immigrant. (And he has, indeed, made many false claims about immigrants.)
But the real story here is that the US immigration system is to blame for a ton of unauthorized immigration cases just like Musk’s—to OUR detriment.
Lots of people become “illegal” because our laws don’t have a legal category in which to put them—even when they are creating a lot of value for America by being in the country. That’s true for entrepreneurs like Musk, but also for countless workers in farms, factories, and construction sites. Not to mention family members and good human beings.
Putting politics aside, what would we have gained from deporting Elon Musk 25 years ago? And what do we gain by kicking out people doing essential work for whom there literally is no line to get into and become legalized?
My hope is that Musk’s high profile case of undocumented migration prompts us to get past the dumb politics and take a hard look at our ridiculous immigration laws.
