"A community's sense of justice is more likely to be revealed in the fact that the majority cannot bring itself to take the steps necessary to suppress the minority and to punish acts of civil disobedience as the law allows. Ruthless tactics that might be contemplated in other societies are not entertained as real alternatives. Thus the sense of justice affects, in ways we are often unaware of, our interpretation of political life, our perception of the possible courses of action, our will to resist the justified protests of others, and so on.

Thinking more frequently these days about this bit from Rawls TJ about how the sense of justice most often works in the background and is revealed in what people won't tolerate

Perhaps the guests could include former enlisted military members pointing out the bullshit. Perhaps folks trapped in countries across the world because the State Dept cannot plan could be asked to call in... Perhaps Iranians who oppose the war could be featured...

Too bad there's no opposition party that could relentlessly press the case against war.

Too bad there's no opposition party that could run a 48 hour Youtube telethon program with 48 elected officials each programming one hour to point out the awfulness of the war on Iran. That would definitely not get any media or other attention.

Too bad there aren't any rich people who could run ads with this information on every social media and regular media channel.

And throw some knives into the mix!

A dresser inside a museum in New York City has been discovered as a secret stop on the Underground Railroad — the first of its kind discovered in Manhattan in over 100 years

I added captions to this video of people heckling Greg Bovino leaving a Target in Minneapolis, and there's so many people yelling things at him it's like a comedy skit

Theorists present ideas with prose, philosophers with arguments, scientists with data; each lends itself to their respective modes of presentation?

Shamelessly nicked from Kris McDaniel over on Facebook: the book review that will make your weekend.

Ryan and Sheridan provide full accounts of Ryan’s resignation. They differ significantly “I concur fully with President Ryan’s recollection of events,” former Board Rector Robert Hardie said.

"The Cavalier Daily corresponded with former Rector Robert Hardie, whose term ended June 30, regarding the two accounts. He confirmed that he agreed with Ryan’s account.

'I concur fully with President Ryan’s recollection of events,' Hardie said."

The Edmund Fitzgerald Is Inspiring Jim Harbaugh And Michigan Football To Achieve "Lake Mindset" | Defector The popular culture of the 1970s is almost impossible to parse in retrospect. The people making the movies and music and television of the era were horny and ambitious and earnest, they were ingesting...

A fine day to remember Jim Harbaugh's unique relationship with "The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald" and the remarkable interpretive work that his and other football brains have done on this important text.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Yeah, I think the 100 door version helps show that it’s an epistemological problem more than a mathematical one: you gain a ton of information by Monty’s behavior, given that you know he knows which door matters and given you know he won’t close that one

Tucker Carlson interviewed nick fuentes and they vibed out about Jewish conspiracy theories and their dislike for Christian zionists (oh god why do I know this)

#NoKings Charlottesville. Look at this amazing turnout.

Over 400 faculty and staff from the #uva College of Arts and Sciences convened for an emergency vote. 97% of eligible voters endorsed a resolution demanding President Mahoney refuse to consider the Trump admin's Compact for Academic Freedom!!

Yeah, unfortunately her recent book basically accepts an elite led technocratic vision of democracy. The problem she diagnoses is too much rawlsianism at HKS and so in the professional political and bureaucratic classes

You.

It’s a core First Amendment principle. This is utterly lawless behavior, for which there will be no (short-term) consequences.

That he does it so casually, as they are walking away, in front of cameras.

Rightly confident in his impunity.

Excellent resolution from UVA. Well done, @uvahumanities.bsky.social

Now, friends at Dartmouth, MIT, Vanderbilt, Texas, etc need to step up.

How Can We Live Together? - Boston Review Ezra Klein is wrong: shame is essential.

"Common decency stigmatizes people that do not participate in it—removes them from voluntary association. We indeed have to live with one another, but terms and conditions apply."
