Some things I noticed 11/17/2020:
- Crew-1 Mission
- “Victor Borge performing in Dean Martin show“
- “To let them come to be born would have been irresponsible as a first step, because you don’t know what kind of behavioral change you’ll get.“
- “refusal to speak up on behalf of vulnerable communities is pragmatism that comes from wanting to deny military opportunity to seize power“
- “The line is thin between resolve and recalcitrance, conviction and condescension.”
- “For Manila to press any claim to Sabah only encourages more of such private assaults on Malaysia and Malaysians.“
- “He spends his days in his empty restaurant, reaching out to clients to see if they are interested in ordering takeout.“
- Auto-da-fé
