  1. Peace in the Middle East: Any progress yet?

    “And some of these boys from the Middle East who are sitting around the table here in the picture may be saying, “Yeah, we’ll sign on to the document.” But they don’t really mean it in their hearts because what they want is not peace with Israel, but ‘a piece’ of Israel and eventually the whole of Israel and its elimination.”

  2. A quotation from Bill Watterson

    CALVIN: Hobbes, do you think our morality is defined by our actions, or by what’s in our hearts?
    HOBBES: I think our actions show what’s in our hearts.
    CALVIN: (after consideration) I resent that!

    Bill Watterson (b. 1958) American cartoonist
    Calvin and Hobbes (1990-10-18)

  7. Earlier this summer, I wore a black hat to my city’s Dyke March.
    Across the front, in bold rainbow letters, it said MAGA. Below it, the punchline read Make America Gay Again.

  12. In an attempt to actually play all the boardgames I own rather than keep replaying sporadically the couple we know how to play I treated myself to the Boardgame Stats app. I was pleasently surprised by how easy it was to catalogue all of the games I own and I love the random game button if I'm struggling to think of something to play. We are aiming to make Saturday nights Boardgame and PC co-op game night

  16. We all have that corner of the garage where good intentions go to rest. The projects that seemed brilliant at 2 AM but somehow never quite came together in daylight.

    Tag someone whose parts collection tells stories of abandoned dreams. We've all been there.

    What's your longest-running unfinished project? Some builds take decades to find their moment.

  17. A quotation from Will Rogers

    When you put down the good things you ought to have done, and leave out the bad ones you did do — well, that’s Memoirs.

    Will Rogers (1879-1935) American humorist
    Essay (1932-03-12), “Letters of a Self-Made Diplomat to Senator Borah,” Saturday Evening Post

  20. A quotation from Joubert

    In political institutions, almost everything we call an abuse was once a remedy.
     
    [Presque tout ce que nous appelons un abus fut un remède dans les institutions politiques.]

    Joseph Joubert (1754-1824) French moralist, philosopher, essayist, poet
    Pensées [Thoughts], ch. 18 “Du Siècle [On the Age],” ¶ 21 (1850 ed.) [tr. Auster (1983), 1813 entry]

  21. A quotation from Molière

    TARTUFFE: Some joys, it’s true, are wrong in Heaven’s eyes;
    Yet Heaven is not averse to compromise;
    There is a science, lately formulated.
    Whereby one’s conscience may be liberated,
    And any wrongful act you care to mention
    May be redeemed by purity of intention.
    I’ll teach you. Madam, the secrets of that science;
    Meanwhile, just place on me your full reliance.
    Assuage my keen desires, and feel no dread:
    The sin, if any, shall be on my head.
     
    [Le ciel défend, de vrai, certains contentements;
    Mais on trouve avec lui des accommodements.
    Selon divers besoins, il est une science
    D’étendre les liens de notre conscience,
    Et de rectifier le mal de l’action
    Avec la pureté de notre intention.
    De ces secrets, madame, on saura vous instruire ;
    Vous n’avez seulement qu’à vous laisser conduire.
    Contentez mon désir, et n’ayez point d’effroi ;
    Je vous réponds de tout, et prends le mal sur moi.]


    Molière (1622-1673) French playwright, actor [stage name for Jean-Baptiste Poquelin]
    Tartuffe, Act 4, sc. 5 (1664) [tr. Wilbur (1963)]

  25. Biting my tongue on Facebook.

    I just saw a heartwarming FB post (reposted by a good friend) in which a "neuroscientist" (*doubt*) allegedly explained to her daughter about cognitive abilities. She used glasses filled with water. If the "memory ability" glass was filled up extra for someone, that meant some other ability had to be emptied out a bit, so if someone has a cognitive deficit of some kind you can be sure they have a compensating cognitive strength somewhere else.

    As someone who has administered about 200 IQ tests and other intellectual assessment measures to kids and adults...

    Just no. Fairy tales that misrepresent reality aren't good for kids even if they seem to support your values.

    Another issue is that this anti-evidence theory could plausibly lead someone to ignore or minimize others' disabilities when they need recognition and support. "It's sad that you have low IQ, but that's okay because I'm sure your brain compensates in other ways! Bye!"
