  1. A quotation from Ambrose Bierce

    ABATTOIR, n. A place where cattle slaughter kine. It is commonly placed at some distance from the haunts of our species, in order that they who devour the flesh may not be shocked by the site of blood.

    Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914?) American writer and journalist
    “Abattoir,” “Demon’s Dictionary” column, San Francisco News Letter (1875-12-11)

  5. Last week the Trump administration stopped the construction of Empire Wind, which was set to provide 500,000 New York homes with clean, reliable offshore wind energy.

    So I don’t know what these people are thinking, although I wholeheartedly support wind energy.

    Not sure when I'll have an opportunity to listen through, but I usually find her quite insightful. For example, she pushed back in a public hearing against a Lord with regards to parsing the ICJ, to be later backed up by the president of the ICJ court who wrote that decision.

    She has a bias, obviously, but has the positive attribute of making a coherent argument.

    I cannot figure out whether they're suffering from #CognitiveDissonace or have just adopted this harsh rhetorical technique of, as you pointed out, a false dichotomy.

    Perhaps #warispeace is a litmus test, because while they claim to advocate peace what they're actually arguing for is a continuous war. Maybe they have no grasp of how #geopolitcs work, but a child can identify #crybully tactics.

    It's a mystery.
